Added 1 new A* page:A friend of mine suggested I try selling some of my work on Etsy. I took a look and wasn't sure I had much that was Etsy-esque, exactly, so I thought if I had time I'd try doing some little pieces more in that vein, and maybe eventually round up the better ones and try them there. Then I looked into it more and you actually have to pay to put stuff on their site?! The barbarity! Sigh. Well maybe I'll try a few. Anyway I had a little time today so I drew this--which is, mind you, for the time being available for sale on this very A* site--here--rather than any other:

I wasn't sure the straight-on view I sketched for today's A* page was dynamic enough, so I tried starting up a second sketch, but that wasn't going anywhere at all--sometimes I just get my heart stuck on a sketch despite perceived shortcomings, and any variant I try just won't come out because my heart is still set on the first one. So at least I recognized fairly quickly that that was happening today and didn't waste too much time fighting myself. :P The pencil sketch:
