KT-Silver

Well, after nearly a year of technologically enforced hiatus, I am back!  New computer, new camera, and even a tablet.  I am ready to be a deviant once again!  Go me!  In the time I have been forced into deviation exile due, it seems, to a hardheaded laptop that didn't want to upload, I have become more active on other sites.  I am doing more on Facebook now.  You can find me as Feywinds there.  The icon is my Himalayan, Yana.  I am also Youtubing now.  Not that I have much up there.  I am working on making some tutorial videos. I have a few charm updates up there too.  Feel free to look me up.  KT Silver on Youtube.  I have a lot of stuff I am going to be getting up here in the next few weeks.  Bear with me.  I still have to download Gimp so I can get back to editing my photos.  I was going to buy Photoshop this year....but I got too cheap! lol  Maybe in June.
If you are interested in commissioning a piece, feel free.  I am just a bit backed up at the moment, but I will get to you!
Brightest blessings!

Hi, guys!

No, I am not dead.  I have actually been creating quite a bit of art lately.  Unfortunately, dA does not seem to want to let me upload it.  I get it just about ready to submit, but the file never fully uploads to dA, so I am not sure what is going on.

School continues to take up a huge portion of my time.  Pixie started kindergarten last week, so that is also taking up a lot of time. She is loving it by the way!  She is having some trouble adjusting, but over all she is enjoying it.

I am still teaching free-lance art classes, which are proving to be very successful!  They are keeping me busy and helping with the bills.  

I also just finished doing a commission order for a wedding.  As soon as dA straightens up, I will post pictures.  

Seriously though, is anyone else having trouble submitting?

I just recently went through a blocking and purging session on Facebook.  Got rid of a lot of pot-stirrers and negativity mongers.  I am still trying to finish illustrating my most recent children's story.  Maybe one of these days I will be brave enough to try and publish some of my stories.  Pixie actually went trick-or-treating in a costume I made her as one of the characters from the story.  She requested the costume.  I have pictures that I will TRY and upload.  

Any of my dA friends who want to look me up on Facebook, feel free.  My name is Syrhk Renrut on Facebook (my first and last name spelled backwards!).  Just be sure to tell me who you are and how I know you, because I don't ok just anybody.  It's the whole, "I'm-a-Pagan-living-in-the-Bible-Belt" thing.  And while I may not be in the broom closet, I still have to make a living, and it is much easier to make a living when co-workers and employers are not snooping around your profile looking for things to cause you trouble over.

So, that's it for now.

Hi, all!

Well, life just keeps chugging along.  I have been very busy lately.  Not just with school, although that is taking up more and more of my time.  I have recently started teaching free-lance art classes again.  Yay!  I did not realize how much I missed it!  It is really starting to pick up.  I was even asked to do a demonstration at a local country club the other day.  That was a lot of fun.  I think the funniest part of the day was a conversation I had with one of the ladies responsible for the get together.  I can't remember her name, but she was wearing a leopard print shirt.

Leopard print lady: "Here!  Sit down and have breakfast with us."

Me: "No thanks, I ate before I came."

Leopard print lade: "Oh, okay.  Well here, have a mimosa."

Me: "hahaha, thanks, but I don't drink."

Leopard print lady: "Oh, well I have some diet cokes, you're welcome to one of those."

Me: (laughing more) "No thanks again, I'm allergic to aspertame."

Leopard print lady: ..........oh.......

Me: "Yeah, I know, I'm difficult to deal with."

Leopard print lady:  "Oh, no, I wasn't thinking that.  At least come and sit with us."

Me: "Ok."

I sat at the table and talked with a few of the ladies.  It was pleasant conversation.  I should have removed the plate in front of me though, because everyone that saw the empty plate asked me if I was going to eat!

These were some very, very nice ladies.  They all seemed to enjoy the short demonstration.  I will be completely honest.  This was my first time ever at a country club, and I was afraid that I was going to feel out of place.  (Anyone who knows me knows I am not a girly girl or the most politically correct apple on the tree.)  These ladies all went out of their ways to make me feel at home.  It was very sweet.  

I ended up donating a signed print of "The Dock" as a door prize.  fav.me/d4aaor7

All in all, I would say it was a wonderful experience.  Oh, and Leopard Print Lady, if you are reading this, I apologize for forgetting your name!  I am terrible with names!  

Well, here's hoping that everyone's day is bright, beautiful, and completely glorious!
