good news, bad news

Hello folks!

I have some news for you. Actually some good news and some bad news.

The good news are:

Heaven and Earth Design licensed a few pictures of mine and you can already find some of the Cross Stitch Designs at heavenandearthdesigns.com (for a link to find my charts look up my website)

Also Reinders, a big German poster company (http://www.reindersposters.com) has licensed "Touch of Gold" as a poster now. Check out your local stores for it ;)

I also have a new painting for you titled "A Stranger Awaits", another attempt of diving into urban fantasy. I really like the outcome. Also I used oil painting surface as a texture :) So no fairies at the moment :)-
Life is just not a fairytale at the moment....which bring me to the bad news:

Working is going a little slower than I would like to. I few days back I was told that I've been running around with an eye defect for quite some time. I had some problems with my eyes before but it was usually just for a short time and then it got better again. But the last weeks were horrible for me as I had strong headaches and could barely work. I also notied that I couldn't read things from afar as well as I could before. Still I thought this was due to too much work. Well that was until I went to the doctor a few days back who told me I had an astigmatism on the right eye (the left eye is almost perfectly fine). So now I wait for my new glasses to get finished and until then will only be able to work half as much as before. For me that sucks cause I am a workaholic and I absolutely hate it not being able to work when I want so much.
Anyway the good thing is, it already got better due to the eyedrops I got and due to me relaxing a little and when I get these glasses I'll only need to wear them for work and not all day long .....still it came a bit unexpected.

But my glasses will rock haha XD

Cheers,

Bente

I hear Voices

....I really do. My cat's voices that are. Never thought such a little creature could make so many different sounds. If there ever was a glossary about what each of them means I would so buy it.
Speaking of my cat, it's her birthday today and no I didn't plan to upload my new piece of art exactly on this day. It just happened that I remembered it was her 3rd birthday (in my defence I have to say I only have her for 2 month now).

So yeah the most important thing is I am finally, finally finished with this new painting. Took me ages and in between I wanted to abandon it completely. I was aiming for a slightly different format here & as you see more than one protagonist.

Next thing I'm planning is to "recycle" some old paintings I never really finished (going throuh old files can be really surprising) and then I can't wait to start working on my working station (two big monitors) instead of my small laptop.
Ohhh and of course my website design. I do have an idea, just no IDEA when I'll have the time to work on it *sighs* and really everyone uses awesome flash stuff on their websites and I feel so oldschool so rely on CSS and html only haha XD. I guess I kind of missed the train.

Anyway, hope you're all well.
Sending all my hopes & prayers to the people in Japan!
