Bloggy Stuff, A Place For Art & A Challenge

I love this blog here and have a great time doing what I'm doing - socializing with all the great friends I've made, talking about all the crazy stuff going on in my life, sharing family photos, letting you guys know about great products I've tried, participating in memes and other just fun bloggy stuff.

A while back I started a new blog, Wouldn't You Like To See Something Strange?, to showcase all the creepy, weird stuff I'm into - bizarre and unusual art, mourning art and funerary, unique afterlife options, etc. I'm really glad that I did, and am having a super terrific time with that blog too.

But... after long thought, and now that I am more seriously perusing art as more than just a hobby, I decided that I also wanted my very own place that is dedicated to my own art and what I'm up to in my studio.

I was originally prompted to do this when I realized I was having to direct people all over the internet to see what I'm working on. I knew this wasn't going to work. I needed one place to send them to.

Therefore, as of today, yet another new blog is born - Good Mourning, Glory! Studios.



In addition to utilizing it as an online gallery of my work and information on my etsy shop and whatever else I'm up to in the art world, I also plan to share tips and techniques, host some art challenges and maybe later, some swaps.

So, if you get the inkling to, maybe you could come by for a visit. Not a whole lot going on there right now - a couple posts. But, maybe you could bookmark it and stop by in a few days or a week and see what's going on if you want.

And, even though I'm just getting this thing going, I'm going to start it off with a bang, with my very first Art Challenge! I'm hoping some of my artistic, crafty and creative friends will join in!

I don't know if I should expect no one to want to join in, or if maybe a few of you will. But I'm just gonna give it a go.

If you'd like to participate in July's Challenge, please come on over! July's theme is "Summer Days".
