No, no, Redbubble. I honestly don't think I've ever found 17p more exciting. I could buy 3 penny sweets (each costing 5p) from my local corner shop, or even a can of baked beans at a stretch. A Freddo, sadly, is out of my price range (20p, at Tesco). However, I will console myself with the fact that someone, somewhere in the world*, has judged my artwork to be an appropriate subject for a greetings card.
This thought pleases me for 3 reasons:
1) Someone paid $2.30 (yes, I get an 11.3% cut) for a card with my artwork on it.
2) I should imagine that the card will be given to someone for their birthday (what with Christmas and New Year now over), in which case, my artwork will likely be facilitating an inside joke. Yay!
3) If it is not a birthday card, it could be a Valentine's card. Given the subject, that would be highly amusing. I may consider developing a range of Valentine's cards, based around the same slogan. Katniss and Peeta in their chariot, or a dragon-riding, sunglass-wearing Gilderoy Lockhart, anyone?

Note: I know I haven't posted in a while, but I do have my reasons. My last completed craft project was a birthday present for someone, so obviously has to remain a surprise.
Currently, I am working on my first sculpture I've made with wire armature. It's very exciting, and if all goes to plan, pictures should follow.
Happy New Year! :D
