So you know what I decided the other day?  My previous journal entry here was going on two years old--and it needed to go away.

Sadly, this new entry does not herald a return to keeping track of all things dA though.  I'm pretty bad at keeping up with things (especially lately, gracious) and I still can't browse dA without horrible loading times.  

Thus!  I would like to post a big thank you to anyone and everyone that has sent me any messages, comments, or favs!!  I appreciate them all, and perhaps someday I will be able to get through my backlog and reply to everything.

Much love to you all!

First, let me say thank you to everyone that voted in the recent Bodyline contest.  It's great that you took time out of your lives to deal with their slow and often overloaded servers to cast your opinions and show your support.  
  
Well, the contest is officially closed.  I was extremely gratified and honored to have received the popular vote coming in at 1st and 2nd place.  Holy cow.  o_o  Honestly, I was overwhelmed and moved by these results.

However, it would seem that Bodyline chose to ignore the voters and make their own selections.  This sadly means that my designs will not go into production.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that voted--truly.  It was wonderful to see that so many people enjoyed my designs.  

Congratulations to everyone chosen by Bodyline.  There were some wonderful entries there.

Hello all!

In the interest of helping a dear friend have access to some cute, classy shoes, I entered the current clothing design contest at Bodyline.  If my designs win, they will go into actual production by the clothing company and I will receive a pair of them as a prize!  

You see, many of the lolita/punk fashion companies in Japan rarely, if ever, produce their shoes in larger sizes.  The idea is that if my designs win, in order to give me my prize, they will have to produce them in the larger sizes.

Having a chance to wear something that I designed, and having people around the world able to buy and wear them too is an incredible opportunity!  As of the moment of this posting, my designs have managed to pull into the top 4 out of almost 1,000 submitted designs.    Yowza!

You can view my designs here:
Bodyline Contest-ClassyKathryn
&
Bodyline Contest-RegalRebecca


If you like them or if you just want to help me out, you can vote for my designs by:
~going to Bodyline's website (www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/)
~entering your email address
~following the unique voting link they send you in your email
~and voting for "Classy Kathryn" and "Regal Rebecca"!  

(Note: Bodyline has some pretty easily overwhelmed servers...so if you get an error that says "Service Unavailable" just keep hitting Refresh until it works.)

Every vote helps, and will be greatly appreciated by both me and my friend!  Voting is only open for the next 1 day and 15 hours after the time of this journal entry, so act fast if you wish to help!

Thank you so much!

RULES
1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.

5. No tag-backs

~!~

1: I like blades...and as such have several different types of daggers and large bladed weapons.

2: I adore Final Fantasy games, but have yet to actually complete any single one of them due to either computer crashes or real life getting in the way. :/

3: I ought to wear my glasses...but I'm generally too lazy to get them out.  (I only need them for distance vision...so, yea.)

4: I love glass and have a large collection of odd or unique pieces of glassware.

5: My home is generally very cluttered, but I take exceedingly good care of all of my possessions.  Usually, things I own look brand new even 10 years later. (Yes, even when I've used them regularly.) lol

6: I desperately want high-speed internet...but it is so difficult to research what service to get on my slowwwwww dial-up, that I have yet to choose a service I can afford.  ( is supposed to remind me to do this...)

7: My friends tell me I'm a very "crafty" person--I usually work very well with my hands and I enjoy making things using all different mediums and objects.

8: I'm kind of hermit-y... >_>;

~~~~~~~
No, I'm not going to tag anyone--what can I say?  I'm a rebel.  XD

Hi! I suppose it's about time I put something about myself here, huh?

I'm a lurker by nature...so I typically don't say much in online forums and such. I am also stuck with ridiculously slow dial-up, and as such cannot browse dA as much as I would like to. Most of my time on dA is spent just looking at the works of a few friends and responding to those that have shown an interest in my art.

I have always enjoyed drawing and other creative endeavors, but for many years convinced myself that because I could not do what I wished to right away, it was not worth it. You might notice that most of my creations here are fanart for Go Fish by Rachael Peabody. This is because I love her comic, but more importantly, because she has inspired me to start drawing and creating again! I haven't done much of anything since highschool art classes (which seems so very long ago, lol) and I welcome this new inspiration wholeheartedly. I have more ideas and wip's than I know what to do with and I love it!  ^_^



Now then, I suppose I will also continue this meme thing going around...

I have been tagged by

The rules are:

1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.
3. At the end of the post 8 more people are tagged and named.
4. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.

Here they are:

1.) I copied and further condensed the rules as they were edited in 's journal entry because I too was bugged by their format and that rule 3 repeated what rule 2 dictated.

2.) I'm a packrat & a bit of a Kender at heart... I find, I covet, I keep.

3.) I wrote these answers in this order: 1, 4, 2, 7, 8, 6, 3, 5

4.) I have a deep love for purple and green.

5.) I love animations & cartoons.

6.) I have very long hair.

7.) I'm a geek. Read into that what you may...

8.) I hate chain-emails and so forth...which is why I am going to flagrantly break rules 3 & 4. (That and the fact that I have no one to tag...   <_<  >_> Shush, you.)
