As a participant of WoPoWriMo I get a cute web-badge 
(of course I made it so it's probably cheating to have it up on my websites but hey - I did the challenge too you know!)
I'm collecting quiet a few of these 'web-badges' ie NaNoWriMo and PiBoIdMo and I don't really want to fit them into the themes on my blogs so I'm planning to make a page of them all nestled together which I think will look really cool
It would sort of be like having a framed certificates on you wall
I went into Stuffed Nonsense in Cheltenham to check on the Wiggly Pets - I'd sold £20 worth of Wiggly Pets which means that I am about braking even This cheered me up though I am a little concerned that most of the revenue came from people I know going and buying them!
But at the end of the day they have only been in there for a month and so I can not really extrapolate weather or not this will be worth it or not :/
Well I managed to get something in for the Therizinosaur Time Capsule on the Art Evolved website. My contribution does look like a Skeksis from the Dark Crystal :/ but never mind! (For those who haven't read the previous entries on this Therizinosaurs are dinosaurs and ART evolved is a site on palaeo-art).
This is the second one I have entered and I am still only getting around to giving them the planning sketches :/ Something I hope to solve with the next one which is why I already have the book pages marked out and have not put the art stuff away!
This time capsule also coincides with ART Evolves first birthday I am really happy to have found them before they cross that threshold - not sure why but it just feels important!
When I find my camera lead I will also complete the live blogging of the art work on Salaric Art and Craft - I have even made a palaeo-art section on there along with a my drawings/paintings.
I'm 'live-blogging' the process of produce my next piece of Palaeo-Art on Salaric Craft.
Recently I found this intresting guy on twitter called the Flying Trilobite who is an artist inspired by science - I really liked his drawings so followed him.
Anyway he then tweeted about submissions for palaeo-environment pictures and lo! I found Art Evolved and their time capsules full of palaeo-art!
Anyway it turned out the next time capsule was palaeo-environments and they wanted pictures along that theme. Unfortunatly it was very close to the deadline and I wasn't sure how to entire or if I could - even though on a later inspection of the site I saw all the instructions in plan sight!
Anyway I basically only manage to get a quick biro sketch done which wasn't composed properly or anything!
My topic was an Upper Ordovician benthonic community - yep you got it - basically it was another of my seascapes
Anyway its here if you want to see it I'm in the middle bit of the time capsule.
Of course being me the first thing I did was sit down and read a few chapters of various palaeo books I just happen to have lurking about
Anyway I am really excited about this as I've been searching for art and science cross overs The next time capsule is on the Therizinosaurs which I think are like beaked dinosaurs I think! I need to do a bit of reading up on these - at the moment the only book I have that mentions them is my Vertebrate Palaeontology book :/
