Watchers

I normally like to go through and thank people individually for adding me to their watch list, but in the last week, I've had 140 (and counting) people start watching.  So, for those of you who have just added me, thank you so much!  And to those have been watching a while, thanks for sticking with me!

I just found out that, today, I received my very first ever Daily Deviation for my gloss black and silver Cthulhu mask (which is how I expect a lot of new folks have found me!).  The link to the piece is here:

This is crazy exciting, as I've been on DA for a few years, but haven't had anything explode in popularity like this has!  I actually took a leather mask-making workshop this past autumn, on a lark, and had no idea it would lead to anything.  In just the last month, I've sold 11 masks.  One of my bird masks -- the blue and green-gold one -- was purchased by the costume department of the show Fairly Legal, for USA networks, for use in an episode in their upcoming season.

I can't believe how much has already happened with just my first three designs!  I have a couple more designs in the works, still just at the sketch stage, that I'm hoping to complete and start offering within the next few weeks.  I'll be sure to post them here when they're ready!

In the meantime, the orders keep rolling in through my Etsy shop.  If anyone's interested in checking it out, the link is here.  I update it with new pieces all the time, and past pieces can be custom-ordered there too.  Here: [link]

And again, THANK YOU, everyone!!

Gawd, your work is stunning. Though as for marketing it here on Deviantart, I'm afraid it's a case of pearls before (financial) swine. I know I, for one, am rather stuck in the mud, even as I lust after your treasures-ies. "My own, my love... my... preciousssss." :spin:

Thank you! The sentiment is appreciated all the same, always! I do things because I love them, more than for the money, always. The money just enables me to keep going. :) Compliments always mean more though!

Given the originality of conception, artfulness of design and skill of construction that hallmark your creations, you will, I am sure, never lack for compliments.

As for "keeping going", not to worry. I imagine a flock of wide-eyed Deviant crows besides myself saving up to own an original Eden Bachelder, joining all those who come across your work IRL and gratefully lay down mega-loonies for it. :deviation:
