Corseted by Generations of Art

Good Morning!

I have been very absent this year, both from shows, and from life. I will be at NDK (in Denver) Santa fe, and Carlsbad again in sept.

At DCC I had my sisters handsheared Gotland sheep bags and throws with me to help her survive, and raise funds for her cause for su***de. In a cruel twist of fate, another nephew has passed this week. It will be the second of my nephews to pass this year, by su***de, and the 3rd overall.

My nephew who passed this week leaves behind 5 kiddos and a loving wife. 2 of thier kids are adopted. The one adoption being finalized the day before his passing. I’ll have a QR code set up in the booth, and probably a free trinket or keychain available for those who would like to donate on site. I don’t have the mental wherewithal to do any shipping atm, so I’ll just have this set up at NDK.

I appreciate and love all of you.

I have talked with my kids about doing a drawing of sorts, and giving away a corset here and there for those transitioning. This is something that I need to get the details all together on first, but, wanted to throw the idea out there is anyone has insight/feedback.

I think if you all as my extended family. And every show is like a family reunion, except with relatives you like. Thank you for making all of us at GoA feel loved and welcome in your communities.

I also hope you all know that at any show we are at, we are a safe place. Any of you are welcome to just come and hang out, or have a semi quiet place to just exist for a bit. NDK is a pretty safe harbor overall, but I wanted to put that out, just in case. Obviously this extends to the other events we do as well.

Thank you all again, for making the world a better place. :)

We’ll be at Denver Fan Expo next weekend! :). Just a small booth this year, but a lot of cool new items, along with the classic GoA products. :)

It’s been an age since posting! I wanted to put Savvy’s page here as she’s got it up and running and a 15% off code WINTER
these are all handmade. The cakes are sculpted, the tea cups are ceramic with her sculpted resin on the inside. The ear wires are all sterling silver plated. :)

I’ve been working on a product line. They’re in the prototype stage atm but I’ll have a bunch of test pieces for sale at denver this weekend. They’re a play off the popular Japanese ITA style bags. I took them a step further and added a pocket of glitter and water to the front window. With scraps I made some stim style keychains. Then my lovely helper Rachel, from KC gave me about 1000 of these little recycled bottles. I wanted to sell them sealed, so I added some glitter and s**t and did a wax seal to discourage opening. :). I’m going to need input on these, so come pick them up for a steal of a price. :)

Denver Fan Expo this weekend booth 509. See you there!

Trying something new for the front panels of corsets. It’s taking time
To get the heat right so it doesn’t compromise the integrity of the fabric. I think I’ve got it! Going to start cutting some corsets tomorrow and adding these as the front panels. Stay tuned!

Under 3 weeks til the first event of the year. We will be in Norman, Ok the first weekend of April/last weekend of March.

I’ve been making some stamps for leather. Really happy with the results! The mixed leaf is easily my favorite and I’ll have to make up a few more with pics. Our first show of the season will be Norman OK at the end of this month. :)

Pouches pouches.

A few more bags and such in the works. Cutting cutting cutting.

Slowly getting more of these done. Alchemy bags and sets. There’s a plum colored one there that I just love and need t figure out which colors I mixed to get it! (Red and blue, obvs but I did something different and I don’t know what. Lol).

I’m in love with the little leaf pouch! (A few goalongs and pouches with the dragons pictured too).
