ArtLog: Here be shinies! 24-hour Clearance Sale! ALL DONE NOW.
This clearance sale happened on Monday, midnight to midnight, my time, which is CentralDaylight Savings Standard Time , or Roooooosevelt Time, as a certain dear one would have said. (Yes, I am easily confused. You see? Sorry about that.) It's done, so now things go back to regular prices. See instructions at the end of this post for how to buy something. Please double-check them, especially if you're an old hand at this: the orders must go to the gimme address, not my regular e-mail, since I sort the queue on that address for the sale, and only look at my regular ones later. I'm sorry to have to be so strict about this, but things are getting down to the minute these days, and I have to be strict in order to be fair. Thanks for understanding.

How this works:
The only way to get one of these is to send e-mail to gimme@lioness.net. You can comment all you like here, safe in the knowledge that you cannot accidentally buy something or put it on hold or whatever. I'll send invoices at the end of the sale, unless you request them earlier.
(Oh, almost forgot: shipping is $5 US (unless things are very heavy), and somewhat higher elsewhere -- usually about $7, unless Katie tells me it should be more; please do inquire if you're buying weighty plunder or if you're outside the U.S. Likewise, please inquire for quotes on insurance and/or priority or express mail, OK? And yes, if you bought something in the art marathon I just concluded, we'll combine shipping.)

"Karen's World" (The small cylindrical beads at the top do not glow so beautifully in every light -- I got really lucky photographing today, since the snow is acting as a perfect light diffuser.

"Lit"$20$15. SOLD
"Nocturne in White"$32$20. SOLD
"Not Quite Fungible"$16$14. SOLD
"Nymph Cotillion"$21$11, and the second photo hints at the wonderfulness of the tiny stripes of color in these faceted beads. SOLD
"Old Wine, New Birds" (The last photo is truest to the blue color, which is cobalt, not the lighter blue in the other photos, which is apparently an artifact of lighting.)$18$15. SOLD

"Our Fae Cousin"$20$18. SOLD
"Papa Ogun's High-Tech Children"$13$10. SOLD
"Pixie Riddles"$16$13. SOLD

"Textual Pirates" (Much more purple than pink, despite the photos.)$23$20. SOLD
"Two Things I Know About Pumpkins"$15$10. SOLD
"Unpredicted Sky Moods" (First, I think this title would be much better in not-English, and second, the beads are Swarovsky's "alexandrite" color, if my note is correct, and as such, they are lavender in some lights and blue in others. In no light are they as rosy as they look, but there you see the limitations of this Lioness as photographer. Sigh.)$28$23. SOLD
"What the Deer Believe" Oh, I love these colors so! The shell is mother-of-pearl, really. Gorgeous stuff.$17$14. SOLD

doll and toy jewelry
"My Little Pony Is A Zombie Queen" Crown that fits My Little Ponies. Be aware that you have to kind of wriggle it on over the ears, after pulling the top bit of the mane through.$12$9. SOLD
"My Little Pony Feasts on the Flesh of Drowned Sailors" Crown that fits My Little Ponies. (It also fits Barbie dolls, but you'll want to bend it carefully into a circle if you get it for this purpose. If you bend it back and forth much, it'll do what a paperclip does when you do that, though, so be careful.) Be aware that the pearls are fake and they are shedding their pearly coating, and that this is intentional. That's why they're described as "scabrous" on the tag. Also, the weird blue-verdigris chain might conceivably discolor the hair of the doll/toy if you leave it on for a long time. But then, if your doll or toy is the sort that feasts on the flesh of drowned sailors, that's probably a fashion statement in its own right.$25$18, and this one is more than the other one for the reason given on the tag. SOLD
