Slee Fenton's Blog

 One of my good friends, artist John Sumrow, fantasy illustrator extrordinaire and all around brilliant self-promoter without being creepy about it, just pointed out a nifty new site today, called ko-fi.I'm more of a tea kind of gal, but I'm not going to argue if someone wants to buy me a cuppa. It's a site I wasn't familiar with, but, much like a blog, it's a platform ya'll can follow along on,

If you've braved Feare Not, you might be wondering something along the lines of, "hey, um, this little interchange in German... is there a reason it's wrong?"Yes, my little crumpet, there is, and it isn't just that I couldn't German if I was getting a lap dance from Elyas M'Barek. Simply put, our sweet little seer of the dead, Miss Feare, hasn't spoken German in a hot second, and is trying to

 I was cooking brunch (mac& cheese, because we're fancy 'round here) and listening to a podcast, as one does, and illuminati confirmed. Butterflies are monsters. If you've read my first book, the cryptid-tastic butterfly one, you already know why this tickled me pink. If not, it's still a fun listen. Either way,  enjoy this short podcast from Science_VS about these saltybois and their sometimes

 Not too many sleeps ago, Shutterfly was looking at me with seductive come hither eyes, and when it closed them, I saw that it had busted out the waterproof eyeliner and written 50% off on it's eyelids. I mean, how can a woman resist that? Well, the answer is, by having the checkout feature on the cart break down and try kill the mood. But, that eyeliner was on point, and once I'm seduced, I

 My cat is a creative genius and a comedian. In case you didn't know, now you do.She's also 100% certain that if it's warm and I'm looking at it, it's where she belongs. Which, of course means she thinks my laptop is her bed. Add that it's a touch screen, and this means interesting editorial changes, compliments of Angel.It also means all I have to do if I want to summon her is get involved in a

 Early, on the first day of 2021, I embarked on a new project.Now, it isn't entirely new, as I've been heading in this direction for quite a while. I never would have had this blog were it not for my interest in noveling. You see, I came to blogging through twitter, and I found twitter through NaNoWriMo many years ago. I think it might have been 2005 or 2006. Well, this year, on January first, I

As always, the black prints boldest on the synthetics, but i like the crispness and simplicity of black on white for my Sherlock tribute fan at print.

Pinterest, ah, pinterest. It keeps me up at night, makes me run out the door five minutes later than I'd like, and convinces me that I should be trying crafts that aren't at all within my skill set all the time. So here I am with my latest skill acquisition campaign- chalkboard art.

DIY chalkboard word art is harder than you'd think. I did this with chalkboard marker. Because it goes on smooth

 Ooh, pretty, but was is it? It's my DIY Kindle cover. Why? Because I needed one.  Cool yes?


 I decided I wanted one that would stand up, and not just keep it from getting dinged up in my bag. I would have just bought one, but I wanted two things that weren't going to happen if I bought one. I wanted a pretty floral (hello Amy Butler Ginger Bliss, circa 2005) and I needed it that night. Well

Well, I was aiming for blue with this woodgrain fabric design, but I love this violet-ish blue even more than expected. Of course, I forsee a few other colors that need to happen based on the woodgrain, because a woodgrain quilt might be exactly what I need.

I, For one, really like interestingly stained wood.

You?
