  1. How long have you been on DeviantArt? Nearly 4 years! That's flown by!

  2. What does your username mean? Hama refers to the beads (you may know them as perler or nabbi, hama is the one available in the UK), and girl refers to my 2 X chromosomes.

  3. Describe yourself in three words. Creative, Driven, Ambitious.

  4. Are you left or right handed? Right handed!

  5. What was your first deviation? Think it was this one!  Midna Pixel Art Grid by Hama-Girl

  6. What is your favourite type of art to create? This is really a tough question for me because I feel like I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, master of none style artist. My favourites are artisan crafts, pixel art, digital and traditional drawing.

  7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be? Polymer clay. I find miniature food made from polymer clay absolutely fascinating, not to mention all the other stuff you can make from it!!

  8. What was your first favourite? This super cute minecraft art by :iconghostfire:  Lil' Minecraft Monsters by ghostfire..sorry ghostfire you're probably getting this a lot!

  9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most? According to my favourites section, definitely bead art / pixel art. There's loads in there that I had totally forgotten about, they're so awesome!

  10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist? My all-time favourite is probably :iconlockrikard: - he's the only deviant I can honestly say I look at every single deviation that appears in my notifications, and also enjoy every single one. My SO is fed up of me saying 'omggg look lockrikards made another super cool minecraft picture' haha!

  11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be? :iconwerbenjagermanjensen: for sure!! His stuff is so cool and I've always felt like he needs more exposure! Keep it up, man :)

  12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life? Honestly.....no-one! I've never really connected with many people on here to that level.

  13. What are your preferred tools to create art? My hands! And more recently sandpaper and a toothbrush for my polymer clay.

  14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art? I love being by the seaside, or with nature!

  15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory? Achieving 1 million deviantart views :)

So (this is starting to sound a bit samey) I've been gone for ages....again....

But I really want to start being more active on deviantart again. I'm going through a big shakeup with my etsy right now because I'm not happy with it, so I'm rebranding to make myself stand out more, and I'd like to share all my creations with you guys on here too. I'm going to be designing cards and new lines of crafts to sell which will hopefully be a little more popular- and I'd also like to continue with pixel art on here very soon :D

I hope you guys are having a great summer!

So it's been a really, really long time. 8 months since I last posted a journal which is pretty ridiculous, but I'm back again now.

I will endeavour to post more pixel art, but that's actually not what I'm here to write to you guys about.

I've just started my own business (literally 2 days ago) making geeky (and also non-geeky) baby clothing and accessories (but mainly accessories) and, though I appreciate you're probably the wrong audience to show it to, I wanted to put this out there anyway. There's 600 of my lovely followers out there and I'd really love if you could do this for me, just pop over to my facebook page for my store here

www.facebook.com/pages/Tiny-Be… ) and give us a like

I would be so so happy if you did this, every like expands my audience massively in the beginning stages of marketing.

You can check out my etsy here (it doesnt have a huge volume on there yet):

I am very grateful for any amount of attention from you. Most of you guys are probably too young to have any kids, but maybe you have little brothers, little sisters, nieces, nephews, who knows! Maybe you could get them a present! :) Also bear in mind I do larger versions of the Hero of Time hat for any of you cosplayers out there looking for a decent Link Cosplay outfit.....;)

Thank you so much for reading this, I love you all! :heart:

Hey guys.

So, I'm not sure how to start this really. I've been totally inactive for ages, but my watch list and my view count has gone up and up- thank you, all of you that have watched me and looked at my artwork. Hitting 50k views and getting nearly 500 watchers is definitely something for me to be proud of, especially since I seem to have gained so many views and still my page is almost silent- nearly no messages, no comments..not sure what I'm doing wrong.

My life has hit something of a dead end. I'm dying to be able to do some form of creativity for a job, ideally working as an artist for a games company/indie gamer, but I'm not good enough for that- I can't even get people to pay me the equivalent of 5 cents to do artwork for them, so clearly no-one will ever pay me enough to put food on the table for anything that I create.

So, I'm not sure what direction the page is going to take from here. I'm in the process of restructuring it to make it look more professional, so I can use it as a kind of online portfolio (for what it's worth..), but I just wanted to let you guys know there probably won't be much in the way of templates being put up here any more. I want to make stuff of substance, not be some super-friendly-have-everything-for-free page, because I can't live off air alone.

Painful reality of it is I can't afford to give my time away for free, I just don't have the time to spare. I will do commissions, if anyone is mad enough to commission me to do anything, but not for the pathetic amount of points I'd been offering them for before. I know I couldn't even get commissioned for basically nothing, but I figured if anyone will, I should at least get paid for the time that I'm spending on it.

I guess that's all I have to say. Sorry, for those of you that have followed me for templates. Feels like the only way to get noticed is to give stuff away for nothing.

That's right- we're on facebook (properly, this time) and I'm actually going to post things on it semi-regularly that won't become spam of pictures of kittens! Yippee!

So if you'd like to visit it here: www.facebook.com/pixel.craft.deviantart and give us a like, that would be really cool.

For the first post, I'm going to randomly select one of the commenters on this journal and choose one of their pixel art deviations that they have in their gallery.

So comment away and lets see you get some exposure!

Love,

Hama-Girl
