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,

017: For me…apples are like cigarettes and liquor for humans. If I’m deprived I go into withdrawals.

As you can tell, we're having a small obsession with Death Note right now. To the point where we're going to start working on Death Note costumes. It will be awesome, not going to give away any hints though. ;) 

It looks like in the bead forecast, there's going to be a large shipment coming our way! It's strange, 60,000 seems like such a large number, but as much as we bead, it goes pretty quickly. It crazy to think some of the smaller sprites we make are still 1000+ beads. Sure doesn't feel like that when you're putting it together. Hmm. But I digress. 

I have finally listed the Mustache Glasses over on Etsy. So if you're interested in those, feel free to take a look over there.  (Click the picture :D)

Also, I have update those little pages on my blog. So get to know me, learn the next conventions I'll be attending, find out what I'm currently selling and commissioning, and check out some of the great artists I've gotten to know!

Also, I'm very ADHD when I write in this blog, so by this point you've most likely have come to the realization that I'm absolutely scatterbrained. But on that bombshell (Top Gear reference, hurr hurr), I'm wrapping this up. Have a good day internet worled!

Love and beads,

Crackle Byte
