er...Jacinta


...was making monsters last night and I saw this pile of pink wool felt I had bought for rosy cheeks. But somehow the cheeks haven't worked out lately so I thought pink hair! A snow cone pile of pink hair! Yeah! So I made this monster head and hair and then I thought I just couldn't add on skinny legs again and I had this spider sketch handy, so I added spider legs which can be interpreted as sea thingies, He-man arms...I dunno. I love her funky repulsive allure, but next time I will make her truly girly and not so monsterish :D Just cuz that was the orginal vision, haha.
That X isn't a bow, but it looks like one. It's a pirate touch.
So meet Jacinta,he she wrestler prison matron...a helluva girl.

New Monsters




I posted some new monsters on Etsy...man my computer is sooo slow today. I have another monster to show you but it may have to wait.
What would happen if all internet went away??? Man, I shudder to think :D

Little Miss Poisoned





When you live in a boardinghouse filled with too many dark corners, dark whispers and tenants who can't look you in the eye, you never drink the tea.

Total D.I.Y










Like I said, It's funky and JUNKY :D But FUN :D


I made an inspiration board out of cardboard. Taped it together, painted it and then sealed it. It's all cardboard and I am not picky about what I use to make things stay put. I like tape, staples, needles....anything. Somehow I always feel like I need to make excuses or try to make people understand. I hate it. :D
A name like JunkerJane should say it all.

Funky and Junky


I am working on some inspiration board made from cardboard :D
I have all of these bits of paper, flyers, postcards, fabric samples etc etc etc. And I have no where to tack them. I know, go buy a corkboard....nope! I hauled out an old cardboard box, tape (cause I can't find any spare gluesticks) paint... and just went for it. I'll show you when I'm done.

A windy day in Portland














I LOVE windy days. Any windy day, not just the ones in Fall that bring in Halloween.
Today I went to the Belmont District and had breakfast at a place called Pine State Biscuits. It was great! I am not a biscuits and gravy person. I don't even think I've ever had any, it just doesnt look good. But this place was different and I had the shitake gravy over biscuits. It was grand. The place was so comfortable. Small, but friendly. Alive. The place was full of people coming and going and I just overall enjoyed the place. I loved it actually and will go back and I will take people with me.
The Belmont district is lovely. It's business mixed with residential. It's not so busy but it's quirky.
Again, I love Portland.
