NaBloPoMo Day 11: Fighting Imposter Syndrome with Fire

[untonuggan]

Because I am having a particularly bad bout of imposter syndrome at the moment, I thought it would be a great time to fight fire with fire and say screw you, brain weasels, I *do* make excellent things. And so I am opening, with some trepidation, a Society6 store. It requires less monetary investment than Etsy, although I think there may be a smaller profit margin. OTOH, after the initial set-up I don't have to actually mail anything myself.

Because, you see, you or your friends/loved ones can now get pictures of my yarnings (and some of my other pictures) as prints, cards, ipod/iphone covers, etc.

I obviously need to play with GIMP more so I can branch out into tote bags.

But seriously, wouldn't these make cute holiday cards?

And I know *someone* who might be interested in this...


jjhunter's super sekkrit shawl transformed into an iphone cover

Although personally I really like this one...


a close up of the stitchwork of my color affection shawl turned into an iphone skin
And yes, there are also some of camellias and that infernal autumn light.

So, I dunno if you're even interested but I just wanted to say I DID A THING AND IT WAS VERY HARD EMOTIONALLY AND BECAUSE MY COMPUTER WOULDN'T COOPERATE AT FIRST before I go *meeeeeeeeep* and hide in a corner.

Fuck yeah. These phone covers are the bomb! I am thinking I need to get my shit together and do this for my quilts! I want an octopus phone. :D :D But these yarn skins are gorgeous too. EEEEEE.

You should totally do it if only so you can say fuck yeah I designed this iPhone cover I'm using. :)

[untonuggan]

Also now I'm thinking of people I know who like octopi..,

[jelazakazone]

That is a huge temptation, let me tell you. :D :D

And I'm not the only one who likes tentacles. There are lots of us out there. In fact, they converted me! :D :D

[untonuggan]

It's very easy to make tentacles with crochet.... Just saying :D :D

Wow! If I had an iPhone, I'd definitely want that first skin in your post to adorn it.

Go you for doing this--it's awesome! I hope the effort pays off for you :)
