#idiomagic

i had the pleasure of commissioning @idiomagic to glam up a skull for me. not only is the final product even cooler than what i initially described to her, she was absolutely lovely to work with.

i sent her a sketch of the design i had in mind, but also told her to have fun and put her own artistic spin on it. basically all the coolest parts of the final design were her idea, like the blinged out eye socket, the pearl vine designs, and the leaf eyelashes. she made sure to check in with me regularly and was very receptive to my feedback about anything i didn’t like (which wasn’t much).

this was my first time commissioning an artist online and i have nothing but good things to say about Gwyn. she is an amazing artist and an absolute sweetheart. she also was willing to work with me on the price when my cat had emergency vet bills which was so kind of her. she even threw in a little friend for jasper, free of charge, since she didn’t end up using all of the materials i sent her.

she is a truly lovely person and i highly recommend commissioning her to add some sparkle to your life!

Hi there! This post is just an intro to who I am, what I am, what I do, and the easiest way to find what you’re looking for. Who I am:

My name is Gwyndyn, Gwyn for short. Pronouns are she/her, but I really don’t care what folks use for me. I’m Old. In my late 50s. I’m disabled. Chronic pain from old injuries, three TBIs, sleep issues, CPTSD, and EDS. Fun times! I’m nonbinary and asexual. For 14 years and counting, I’ve been married to my best friend, sometimes known as The Worm Guy. He’s also a nonbinary ace, and the hoopiest frood you could ever hope to meet. I’m owned by two cats, Scout and Commodore SpyBoy Captain of the SS TinyMan. EDIT: At the end of October, we lost our beloved SpyBoy. We are devastated, and left with enormous vet bills. We have a gofundme if you can help: https://gofund.me/145eb9d3f What I am: A writer, memoirist, poet, and Gluer of Sparkly Things to Other Things. I’m an avid reader, have eclectic and eccentric taste in music, and am an Elder Goth/punk I write about my weird life primarily, including stories about living in New Orleans, and about my Demon Horse Michael from back in the day. What I do: I write about what I’ve learned in my six decades of life. If you need advice, please message me or send an ask. I’m always around if you need someone to talk to. I make bespoke custom playlists for anyone who wants one. Send me an ask telling me the kind of music you like, or the sort of music you’d like to expand your knowledge of, or just ‘Make me a playlist of kickass bangers’ or whatnot, and I’ll hook you up. I also make old school vibe based mix tape playlists. Send me an ask saying you want one, and I’ll stalk your blog and make you something based on the vibes of it all. I make fabulous rhinestone masks, sugar skulls, and all kinds of costume accessories. I’m always open for commissions...just send me a message and we’ll chat.
