…that Gemma Correll has new brooches up at her shop.
I LOVE mine, thanks so much Gemma! 🙂
Hi everyone!
It’s a warm and buggy Sunday night over here where I’m at, and I wanted to drop a note to let you all know that I’ve been busy painting up my new home/studio, as I will be holding a small traditional ceremony to symbolize that I will be moving in.
If it sounds complicated, well, it is, but this means that Mr T and I have about 4 more days to go before the in-laws come over — and that means non stop sanding, painting and washing to get the house in tip top condition for some traditional rituals.
Apologies for the scattered posting, but it’ll be much better after this weekend.
Hope your weekend is a fantastic one!

I was finally able to snap pictures of the contributions by the artists of the October PikaPackage Project yesterday; after weeks of intermittent sunlight that made taking photos a nightmare! Without ado, here’s the first batch of our participants:
More to come in the coming days, so keep your eyes peeled! 🙂
P/S — we still have a couple of packages left from August’s PikaPackage Project, so if you want to grab it before it’s gone, head to our SHOP!
Hi there and welcome to Pikaland! This is my personal playground where I write and research about art, creativity, and the pursuit of art entrepreneurship. Enjoy!
