I have a new piece up on Etsy. Original watercolor on paper, "I Gave Her Flowers", cutest painting of pink elephants in love. :-)

I love love love this piece, and also love it even more because it was one of those rare pieces that was thought of, on a piece of paper and finished in an hour. He's just incredibly cute and a bit of a new venture for me. He's also available in my Etsy shop.

Just got to show you my new shoes - I went to my local market today to treat myself to some new girly things - silver earrings, a bracelet, a necklace, a silk jewelry box - and while I was there I stumbled upon these amazing handpainted shoes. Had to buy them of course, and will be going back next week for a different design. Co…

I set up my new website today thru godaddy.com. Such an easy thing to do - the whole site was set up within an hour and a half of signing up. It still needs things added, but it is up and running and, even though I say it myself, it looks very cute!

This was my corporate class last night right after their exam. I'm the one who is not Asian, wearing a pink shirt :-)

I finally got prints of some of my work up in my etsy shop and I'm incredibly excited.

I had copies of 3 pieces done, and will be going down towards the end of the week to get copies of 3 more pieces to get up on etsy.

Funny thing, now I…

Just got attacked for the second time in three days on Etsy forums. All I did was start a topic asking why some artists charge $3 or $4 for a painting, (I was kinda interested to see what people thought and what artists who charged that low would say). But of course by page 3 of the topic I'm being accused of 'shaming other artists'.

Etsy forums really is one of the nastiest places on the net lately. Anyway, won't be making that mistake again. No amount of marketing my etsy shop is wor…

Last night I taught my twice weekly English class to a group of students at a bank here in Bangkok. It's an unbelievably good class. Their English is amazing, they understand almost everything I say, they participate in everything, they're funny, they laugh all the time and it's basically just like hanging out with your friends. And the money I make is great!

On the other hand, I taught Thai kids for 3 years before this and that was FRUSTRATING. Tha…
