Hello Etsy, It's Been a While

I've begun using Etsy again. I set up a shop last year, but didn't quite understand how it worked. Now, after seeing some of the best at the Renegade Craft Fair & the worst on Regretsy, I've decided to try it out with a little more of my work. It's a lovely way for artists to connect with each other and sell in a worldwide marketplace. People can even request custom items. This time I've added a lot of my senior work to my shop, It'll Glow On You.

A bioluminescent menagerie in my old studio space with works in progress. (The basket starfish would later become orange.)

Starfinished!

Hooray! I have finished the stacked-neon-tube starfish. Here it is!

And a dance song to celebrate!

This project's stacking up

Back to the Red-Spiny Neon starfish. I've built a frame that the tubes would rest on. I've painted it, and now attached the tubes. They look like a odd, mechanical, looping staircase. Now I am going to wire it, and scrape away the paint from the tubes to create the starfish design.

Here is the design for the Spiny Red Neon Starfish.
