I cannot say I'm over Totonika´s departure. I miss my golden star so much. As you know I made a song for Totonika called "Totonika Nova" that is in my new album The Underliving and me and Hector are trying to gather some strength to make a video with her images and the song, but tears come everytime we try. It's been several months now but the wound  hurts so much still that I didn´t even consider to have a new pet for a while but there came TWO...!!!

Somehow two little critters TUULA (finnish for "wind") and RITVA (finnish for "silver birch branch")   found their way home and to our hearts. Welcome home babies!

We now call her "fufunchis" so I created her youtube channel and here's the first video from when they first arrived home.

and some pictures

Set of chokers I've designed and handcrafted myself, I think I'm going to dare with some  headpieces and little bags too very soon.
I've been crafty this days, in order to fund The Underliving, aside of the donations and online concerts I've decided to make some handcrafted chokers and wearable things :) so these are some examples of quite a few thingies coming, all made by hand

1.) Pixie Green ( I call it "It´s not that easy being green) choker with matching feather earrings
Many of my friends have received my famous green feathers, I have an obsession for them, this a ready to go set of choker and earrings. Price: 15 EUR


2) Winter Queen choker (very pale white-cream embroidery choker with a trim of feathers white-very light green)
Price: 17 EUR


3) Rose Red Choker (Inspired in my friend Kelly aka. Morgen Rose)
Price: 9 Eur

4) Purr ORIGINAL ONE OF A KIND cameo, this includes a minipainting drawing made by me as well as a choker of two shades of red
Price: 35 Eur (but includes 40x30 ORIGINAL drawing framed in the cameo) and thus it´s ONE OF A KIND and unique.

Already listed in the store for purchase here

Well starting with some random things, my first CD Ancient Shadows now is available in Japan through X-REC. If you're in this country you'll find it available here.

Totonika, my hamster remains very sick, she´s fighting but she´s gone on a down and we´re suffering so much for her. Keep updated or show her love at her official site Totonika.com. I love you TOTONIKA you are so brave, you make the decision to live or stay, but as long as you're with me you'll be the most loved hammie on earth.  Thank you deep from my heart to all the ones that have left such pretty words in her guestbook and site and specially to Maria aka Yishana for the healing letter and sketch:

I'm re-living all the pain I underwent when my beloved dog Kira got sick and died years ago. I will never forget her and she has a special lullaby called "Good Night Kira" in the album. You can read the lyric/poem at KIRA´S SECTION and here is a drawing I've made to illustrate that song in my forthcoming album The Underliving.

To end this post, thanks very much to all the friends that have already donated for the release of the Underliving, we only have three weeks from now to send it to the factory if we want it to be in time for Faeriecon (USA), It will be out in 2011 for sure but I'd be happier if we can bring it with us to premier it there and thus I thank your support. Faeriecon is 3-4 Nov so that leaves us few weeks of margin.

The cd is READY, It's recorded, the artwork done, all we need is to gather the funds. It has 16 tracks and features some collaborations as Kelly Miller Lopez (harp) and Louisa John Krol (additional vocals) among others. This is a glimpse of the artwork included within:

I'm thinking of making another online broadcast 10 or 11th of September. Stay tuned.

Thank you very much to all the ones that attended our last ustream broadcast last saturday :) IT WAS SO FUN!! :) meant to last an hour we were together from almost two :). Really encouraged and very happy. We performed several songs from The Underliving (Off the lane, good night Kira, Feel the thrill, Morning light, Through the long way, Norhtern Lights)  Sadly I  couldn't access much to the chat myself and it was not saved so I feel I missed many of your messages, but my deep thanks to you all. Remember we´re crowdfunding for the release of THE UNDERLIVING, we would love to send it to the factory mid September and thus we need your help not to delay it much longer.  Please spread the word (and link) of theunderliving.com Only donors donating before 10th September will be included in the booklet, we´ll go on the crowdfunding after that date too but only donors before that date will be included in the printed booklet, all the rest of donating priviledges will remain.

And so far THANK YOU DEEP FROM MY HEART to the actual list of THE UNDERLIVING DONORS :)

I'm starting to make the thank you sketches and will deliver to your emails some surprises soon :) HUGS!

To all who attended, remember the "secret question" in order to be able to win the little sketch. :)

And SUCH ENCOURAGEMENT I fell that I finish this blog with one of my favorite videos that I think every artist should watch when struggling. Jim Henson's memorial "If just one person believes in you, deep enough and strong enough believe in you...!

THANK YOU!
