I already posted this on my Facebook, but I might as well add it here:

After quite a bit of thought, and a lot of going over it again and again, I'm deciding to NOT debut my divination tool in September at Pagan Pride Day after all. 
It isn't because I can't afford to do it right now; I received a generous offer from a friend to fund the tool. Its because although thus divination tool is something I have been working on, on and off, since 1994, the tool hasn't chang
ed at all, whereas I have - my spiritual viewpoints have evidently changed and it really isn't working for me. I know the tool still works...it just isn't as refined as adult Rachel would like. Teen Rachel, however, is still very proud of her work. ;-)
So, I think its best to wait. PPD2013, perhaps? Well, made another headband headdress, this one in red and black and silver, and finished one of the flower medallions for the white belt, finished the chain drapes that will hang from the steampunk belt, plotted a teally-turquoise headband headdress and a silver and gunmetal pearl headdress, did some very slow hand embroidery...finished a collar started last year sometime...and hand folded a length of copper sheer fabric for the steampunk belt. So, sooooooo much more to do to prep for Pagan Pride Day in September, and for TrancenDANCE in November! Feeling a little overwhelmed lately, and school is about to start! Agh!




So now I need to get back to work on making pretty things and just getting lots of stock made up for the table at Pagan Pride Day. I have less than a month to get it all done.

I think today I'm going  to start working on a blue headband headdress, and do some more finish-work on the white belt, which was put on hiatus while I was house-sitting. Now that I'm home, I need to get back to work with an vengeance!

I posted the red Headband Headdress on Etsy earlier today, with two crappy photos - will need to do a proper photo shoot for it later when Zoe is home to be my model.

So, right now, the stock I have ready for the table includes:

* a bunch o0f jewelry that didn't sell at TNT
* several HipScraps and HeadScraps
* the burgundy and gold belt
* The silver belt, headband headdress, and ring
* the red headband headdress


I may also put together a small coloring book out of some gothic/witchy/day of the dead quilt patterns I designed, for the pagan kids to color. If I can afford to, I may even sell the coloring books with crayons.

Anyways, enough blabbing - back to work!
