Speaking of warm things...I don't suppose that 1) you would ever consider making something like this for sale or 2) I could afford it if you did?

Look, I was told I should have a hobby, & now I have 6:
1) diamond painting
2) browsing diamond paintings
3) buying diamond paintings
4) organizing diamond paintings
5) trying & failing to make room for all my diamond paintings
6) snickering at YouTube comments by ppl unaware of DP's alternate usage

Maybe you'd like to see the amazing cover for WORLD'S OKAYEST ORACLE (RELUCTANTLY) SEEKS DEMON, my book about an infamously underpowered oracle saving the world alongside the uptight demon who helped ruin her life 20 years ago?

When I say we've worked on a lot of covers together, I mean we've worked on A LOT of covers together! (And there are three more in progress, FYI.)

Here are a couple pics of my "Birth of Venus" diamond painting, which may help to explain things better:

I should note that Albert Joseph Pénot is most famous for his absolutely iconic bat-woman painting, "La Femme Chauve-Souris" (~1890), which I also hope to diamond-paint at some point, because WOW.

In recent weeks, I've been either working on edits for WORLD'S OKAYEST ORACLE (RELUCTANTLY) SEEKS DEMON or diamond painting--and I just turned in my edits! So now I can concentrate more fully on my latest project, the diamond-painting version of "Départ pour le Sabbat" (1910) by Albert Joseph Pénot:

To me, the most incredible aspect of this painting (Carl Bloch's "In a Roman Osteria," 1866) is how viscerally Bloch evokes the squirming discomfort of social rejection by people who are much cooler than you (and, in one case, probably gossiping about you despite the seeming napkin on her head?).

My absolute favorite aspect of this painting ("The Siren," John William Waterhouse, 1900) is the shipwrecked sailor's expression: fascination mixed with dread and fear as he stares up at her. I also love the shine of his wet skin.

Just a quick heads-up: I'm chatting with Chloe Angyal about her lovely books (and mine too) later today! :-)

Advice needed: I stole my husband's hair appointment tomorrow because I desperately need a cut. (I haven't had one in...15 months?) I'm trying to determine whether the cut on the right will work on me, but I'm not sure. I haven't had bangs since the early '90s, & those were feathered, so...thoughts?
