The Bizarre Bazaar!

As you know I've had the pleasure of creating some custom items for GothyBeans.com. The Gothy Beans universe --which orbits a sometimes snarky, sometimes silly and quite enjoyable comic strip-- now has an online shop called the Bizarre Bazaar! Not only can you get prints of some of the images you see in the background throughout the strip but you can also find little vampire ornaments (still waiting for a chavpire!), character keyrings and other wondrous limited edition goodies! Find the shop here:

http://www.gothybeans.com/bazaar/

And be sure to bookmark http://www.gothybeans.com! You can also add that url to the blogs you follow. Convenient, no? Yeeeees. There will be more items added to the Bizarre Bazaar soon and of course regular updates to the strip so be sure to check back.

Gothy Beans is based in the UK and ships worldwide.

Also, if you are in the UK and will be visiting the Thought Bubble Convention in Leeds scheduled for November please at the least stop by the GothyBeans table, pick up a FREE SWStitchery magnet, pin or postcard (while they last!) and give Funny Bunny a scratch behind the ear for me, okay? Come on, you can't resist his cuteness...

Look deeply into his unblinking red eyes. Are you looking? Good. Now go buy something ;)

Dirigible Tote Bag - Striped Silk Blend and Green Brocade

A lovely soft tote to carry your notes on steam engines and books on dirigibles. Or, to help ease your burden of collecting specimens of delicious Halloween candies!

Gothy Beans Stitches

As an artist/designer/seamstrix/whatever it's a great feeling when you realize people that run some of your favorite websites are buying from you!

I had a custom request for a Scrap Bat™ back in November from a username that seemed familiar but I didn't dwell on it right then because I was busy with the pre-holiday.

Once I finish the custom Scrap Bat I went to send her a message, of course, and her icon of Mr. D finally fully lit the flickering bulb over my head... GOTHYBEANS?! That GothyBeans? Oh... OH! *giggled like a little girl*

I have now, yet again, had the honor of creating for her one of her very own characters. Meet Funny Bunny!

     

If you have never read the Gothy Beans comic strip you really are missing out. It's gothic, sarcastic, and just a wee bit silly. I love it!
