Shishi. Before the necessary sequestering, I enjoyed many a foray into thrift stores and used bookstores. This pretty little tray caught my eye because I already had plans for a pair of lion-dogs in one of my stores. ::eyebrow waggle::
Lion-dogs. Guardian lions. Imperial guardians. Foo dogs. They originated in China. You’ve probably seen them in the background of anime, during shrine/temple visits or trips to visit the family grave. They’re statuary protectors, sometimes stone, sometimes bronze. In Japan, the lion-dogs are generally referred to as komainu or as shishi.

Final Reminder. I don’t like to pester, so this is your final reminder for this quarter. If you want to get in on the June art card mailing, hustle over to Patreon. “The Den” is available to those who pledge $4/month (an up). A closer crop of Lara’s art can be found on this post. These incentives are limited edition … like the labels on Junzi chocolates. The next art card is scheduled for September, since we’re going all Amaranthine on this. Solstices and equinoxes! ::twinkle::

Small Changes. It’s hidden in plain sight, but it’s sorta swag. With every book release, we’ve updated the shipping labels I use, changing the color of little 4thy’s socks & the book cover. Because details matter (at least to me). ::twinkle::
Next batch of books will ship Tuesday if you want to nab a copy.

Personality Types. This has been floating around Twitter for a week or more, which everyone chiming in with the people/personalities/characters who share their Myers-Briggs profile. I tweeted this compilation, but I’ll put it here, too. Because it’s intriguing to see facets of yourself reflected in another’s soul (especially when you realize that there’s a reason certain characters are so easy to write).
I’m an INFJ, which means I am every wise mentor, kind soul, voice of reason, cryptic oracle, deep thinker, and bumbling genius in existence. Oh, and apparently, God.
This was fun. Check your own at The Personality Database website >> … and please do share in comments if you’re especially flattered or flummoxed by your findings! ::twinkle::
Pink Buttons. In honor of Release Day for Governed by Whimsy: The Anthology, we’ve added a pink tote bag to my storefront on Threadless.

As additional enticement, I’m showing off the inked first page. One stamp for each story in the set. They were fun to design, and they came out so pretteh! ::bliss:: (I’ll leave it under a cut in case you’d consider it a spoiler.) Continue reading
