Roses, Cards, and Stories ...

I have recently discovered a bunch of card and paper crafting pictures I thought I had lost! So look for more to make it on to my page over the next little bit (or long bit ... timelines can be tricky). But another thought has been rattling around in my head for a while. One of the things I spend a great deal of time on is my writing, and I have posted very few of my works. So after seeing what other deviants have done I am entertaining the idea of posting pieces here more than ever. But I'm not sure if there is an interest in that.

So here's the question: Should I begin posting pieces of my (still in progress) book here? (The Starchaser)

I'm thinking one chapter at a time. The Starchaser had been in the works for years at thins point and I very seldom let it out into the wild without supervision so this feels like a big step, lol. A number of pieces from my gallery pertain to it as well so you can see if I paint the characters in words as well as I do in pencil. *nervously smiles* I only ask that you be kind but constructive if you comment on it. It is, after all, kinda personal.

Next question: Should I open paper crafting commissions on my Deviant Art page? (Roses and Cards)

For a long while now I have done commissions for people I can meet and see in person only. It saves on postage and other external complications. It is hard to let go of the ability to walk up to someone and hand them my work. From there I can gauge how well I met expectations and if I managed to bring a little wow factor. I know that people outside of my little bubble might be interested but I haven't quite turned the corner on this idea yet. I would offer a selection from roses* to different levels of cards (very intricate, in-depth, and basic). All prices would also have to include shipping even for the cards. Many of the cards I make are dimensional and cannot be mailed in just an envelope without risk of damage or extra postage costs (and believe me I have gone rounds with the post office on both counts). 

So ... thoughts? On one or both? Let me know!

*Note - I will not duplicate any of the cards or roses created for Critical Role. They are meant to be my personal and unique 'Thank You' to them. I would be open to variations depending on the idea behind them.
