And He Shall Slay them ALLLLL! Wheeeee!!!

February 5, 2010

Ok, that was exceptionally silly, but hey—behind the scenes in the Gentry household? Oh boy. And it was worse when we had Kay-Dawg because she was part of the circus too. [Contributive senses of humor are an essential part of the success of our almost 16-year-married bliss.] Anyway, I usually give my “slay them” orders [...]

Cufflinks = Done (Well, almost…)

February 2, 2010

But only by the hairs of my chinnie-chin-chin. That’s because, knowing better, I did something really stupid that almost cost me one of them. As a result, it took me a little longer to fix what I messed up because these bad boys are too pretty and I was NOT giving them up. No way, [...]

My Space

February 2, 2010

I hate a mess, and THIS makes me absolutely crazy. So does THIS. Most of the white cake-y stuff is my flux—boric acid and denatured alcohol.

Micro-Collection?

January 20, 2010

I made a few holiday-inspired pieces for Valentine’s Day this year. I guess this is my first foray into doing the “holiday theme thing”–and I’m not quite sure what made me decide to do it this year vs. years past. Because I decided to do this a wee bit late, and because I only found [...]

Musings on the King Holiday

January 18, 2010

[This post looks long, but keep in mind that I chose a non-traditional format for my blog. So, something that should be half-a-page tends to look like a book. I'm also still trying to figure out how to change my text color (via CSS) from grey to black--something that should be an easy task, but [...]

I’m writing this post because I really want to make sure that I stay on top of my reciprocal links. So, if you’re linked to me and you don’t see yourself under on my list of “Tamra’s Artist Friends and Other Cool People,” let me know so I can link back. Also, please doublecheck the [...]
