023: New website, Chiisaicon Artist Alley, and a new state!

So it's been a little over a year since my last update? Well, let's change that. How about some new news? So www.CrackleByte.com is open for business and fully functional! I'm quite proud of it, I am however mourning the loss of my beauty sleep. It 48 hours it went from being an available domain to a fully stocked, informational, homepage for all things beading and Brittie. Hopefully you're reading this on the front page of the new website, because if you're reading this on Blogger.com, it's going to be quite plain and bland. Unfortunately to make the embeded iframes work properly, I had to make my blogger as plain as possible. /nerd

"Hey look, I'm a bear making this a less text-filled entry!"

Anywho, onto other things! Steve and I are now living in Kentucky and it's beautiful and amazing and it's been so peaceful and relaxing. We're truly country folk at heart. Being the huge dorks we are, we looked into local conventions and managed to find a convention right in our town! Woo! So from August 8th through August 10th, we'll be at Chiisaicon and we are absolutely stoked! It'll be Steve's first time helping me out at a con. The proceeds from the convention are going towards helping my father whose battling Prostate Cancer take a trip around the country, so it's all going to a good cause!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I lost a large majority of my sprites, my jewelry making supplies, my booth set-up, my beads, etc., so Steve and I are slowly trying to restock everything. So far we have about 20+ sprites made, my booth set-up is all cut out, it's just a matter of painting and putting it together, and I'm going to be doing a large bead order in the upcoming weeks.

As always, Commissions are open, feel free to ask any questions, and let's be friends. Find me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, etc!

Love and Beads,
Crackle Byte

019: You've got a real problem all right, and a banjo is the only answer!

So, about this pony craze spreading across the world. I'm not sure what to say about it. I actually sat down to watch a few episodes and I even found myself enjoying them. Maybe I'm not to the point of calling myself a Brony yet, but I can definitely say, "A++ will watch again." At Florida Anime Experience, I kept getting complaints about not having Pony Sprites, so here they are, pony sprites and their Time Lapses! :D

Apple Jack:

Derpy Hooves:

Rainbow Dash:

Not able to find my Rainbow Dash Time Lapse!! :(

On that Hoofshell (Get it, bombshell? but with hoofs? Derp derp) Have a good night!

Love, Beads, and Ponies,

007: The flow of time is always cruel.....

This entry is for the ladies. By that I mean I have cute perler hair bows that I'm working on now. Well, I retract my statement, this entry is for cross-dressers and those in touch with the feminine fashion sense. Regardless, these are the bows and they come in whatever color scheme you'd like!

Also, we also have some trinkets for the home available! Zelda coasters to protect your tables from those evil drinks who cause it so much harm. It also doubles as a little stand/art piece/conversation starter. So when you're not protecting the word from drink rings, you have a cute little 8 bit decoration!

Well, back to work it is for me! As always, I'm open for commission, so feel free to shoot me an email or you can follow me on Twitter or Facebook! Links are over to the right! :D

Love and beads, 

Crackle Bye
