Art Update
The piece I mentioned earlier.

This is a cross stitch piece I made to hang for above Michael and my altar for Bealtaine. I do not claim the poem as my own since I was inspired by several poems in the making of this one. The aida fabric is really a paler yellow then since, it just seems to have scan a bit darker, I lightened it a little but didn’t want to modify it too much. Fabric doesn’t seem to scan too well.
It took me the better part of two twelve hour work days just to do the blue part of the border to give you an idea of how long this took, but I have a slow job so it is nice to have something time consuming on hand. This is the first piece I’ve done I completely designed myself (referencing another border pattern) and I am really happy with how it came out. I hope you like it.

As for a general art announcement, to kind of following in the paw prints of WatergazerWolf here and using her recent dA journal entry as reference. Well I suppose these terms of use have always been there but I just want everyone to know about them officially.
You are free to use my art in non-commercial ways (unless otherwise noted on the piece). Save it on your computers, print it on whatever, use it for forum sigs, webpages, avatars etc. I am honoured when you like my art enough to use it for such. When it comes to my paintings, I ask (except for avatars where you have to crop the image most of the time) that you leave my work intact since I do sign them. A link to my page is always nice but not necessarily. If you are not sure about something, I am only a note or email away and I don’t bite often.
Sometime people ask me why I don’t watermark my work? The answer is simple, I don’t like to distract from the thing I worked so hard on, the art, by slapping a distracting glyph/text/image all over it. I want you to see the art, so look around a watermark. That said, all my paintings are signed in some way though my full signature is on the back of them.
That said, you cannot resell my art ever though. I want to make it very clear that I will use legal action if I need to. I ask you don’t claim my art as your own, but if you want to use any of my pieces for reference feel free. If you trace them, it’s tacky, but oh well.
Now that that is out of the way, I love when you commission me, I am an email or a note away for you to get a price list. I soon hope to be selling prints of my work outside of dA (as soon as I replace my printer or find a place that will do high quality prints.)
Anyhow, just wanted to let everyone know. Peace.

My grandmother is a cross-stitch expert and I tried it for a long time…so I must say you did a wonderful job.
