Switching Gears c: by rubykickz

I still have a 2 more sketch commissions to do but I've been kinda busy.x,D I will get them done tomorrow, I've been really preoccupied.

But I'm going to put a lot of focus on sewing and sculpting now. I have about 20 hats I've made and I have quite a few plushies along with 9 sculptures that still need to be fired and painted. I'll hopefully have a Goomy and Umbreon and possibly a Rainbowdash sculpture done and ready to sell this week.

But to the point, if I consider hourly wage for sewing and sculpting on past sales I usually make $25-60+ per hour after deducting material cost. (And I just now am realizing this and I feel dumb for not focusing on crafts sooner)
When I draw I rarely get commissioned but a full painted picture can take me 4-7 hours to do and up until now I only charged $25 for the whole picture. ;-;
That doesn't mean I'm going to stop drawing, but unless I'm paid, it's YCH, or an adoptable I'm not going to focus on any personal art nor am I going to push commissions as hard.

And here is my commission info if you are interested- http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5536367/

At this point I'm literally hoarding money like crazy, I just see an hour or two on personal art an hour or two wasted when I could have made something to sell and get me home.

I'm going to start selling things again but I'm going to start selling some of my really good stuff. I have tons of cool pokemon and sonic plushies I really didn't want to give up, along with an autographed Imagine Dragons poster signed by the whole band among other nice things. cB

Also tomorrow I'm going to get my permit again and I'm actually really excited for it. Before I dreaded it but knowing I need to get a job and I need to be able to drive when I move alone to California it's actually helping with my anxiety behind the wheel. I think I can finally do it now lol my love for Cali can trump any phobia. <3

But that's about it, like I have stated my goal is around $20,000 but if I have something liveable around September (my birthday) I'll go out with whatever I have. I just can't handle even one more month on this coast but I gotta hang in there. I hate everything about this side of the country in general I wish getting out of here was easier. (Especially moving with a large dog ;o;)
Luckily for me my family is super cool and seems like they'd like me to get out there sooner (like right now lol) but I'd have no where to go no money or anything. ;o; I'm so excited because I feel very close to this goal for some reason, like It's actually starting to happen!

Just wish me luck guys I'm really grinding right now, getting out there is literally the only thing I can think of so I don't even mind. <3
