Hello Starshines,

I am back with another personal update of sorts. This past week I finished getting my Patreon page together and I have finally launched! If you have ever wanted to support the sort of work I am doing or have been doing and want to be a part of the next chapter in my journey, now is your chance. Right now there are only three reward tiers but as time goes on and the more support I get, I hope to expand those rewards to bigger and better things.

I am primarily focusing on the aspect of my classes at this time but hope to incorporate my other hobbies as well such as my painting, crafting and so on.

What is Patreon?

Patreon is a pretty awesome website that helps creators of various forms of content from all walks of life connect with fans who want to support the work they do, whether it is in music, art, animated skits, podcasts or something else entirely.

How do the Reward Tiers work?

There are two ways you can choose to handle your Reward Tiers, "Pay as Content is Created," and the other is, "Monthly".  I chose monthly for the time being. This means at the beginning of every month if you subscribe as a Patron you will be charged for the amount of that Reward Tier you have subscribed to once a month.

For example, if you subscribed for the "Enlightened," Tier that is twelve dollars a month. When you sign up for a Tier, if it is not the beginning of a month, it will still charge you for the initial sign-up and then the following month it will charge you on the first of the month another twelve dollars. This is your basic standard subscription type of deal.

If I chose to have, "Pay as Content is Created," this means that as I produce content you would be charged for that and you can set a limit of how much as well.

Example: You only want to pay for three videos of my classes per month. This means if I produce five videos, you would only be charged for three videos you did not previously have access to and then the next month you would have access to the next three.

If you have other questions Patreon has a pretty excellent, "Frequently Asked Questions," section.

Concerning my classes, I posted on the Patreon page recently about what classes I currently offer and have yet or have been recorded already. I also include the rest of the classes that are still in the works and it is open for all to read.

That's it! Thanks for reading. Be blessed. _/|\_

Hello Folks,
this is the artist formerly known as "NyghtshaydeEN" (FINALLY). My family was kind enough to purchase a 3-Month Core membership for me because they knew how important it was for me to have this name change. It's not exactly easy to try and explain to folks who do not understand why exactly a name just doesn't feel right, but it is a feeling that only a certain few can and will understand. I suppose the best and yet silliest analogy is this, have you ever put your shoe on the wrong foot? All of us have done this at least one but you know it feels wrong. It feels wrong because it was not shaped for that foot and you wouldn't wear the wrong shoes on the wrong feet all day, would you? It's not just because it's wrong but because it is also uncomfortable (and looks a little silly). This is basically the same feeling I get when something no longer fits me, it is time to let it go and move on and be reborn (much like the online game my S.O. and I play together). Sadly, the name I really wanted someone else already had so - I had to go with double "Zeroes" in 'Moon', just so you all know. #MoonTears is also the name I go by on 'ColorTherapy' which is a coloring app. When I don't have a lot of time or I'm trying to kill time coloring is something I thoroughly enjoy doing and it brushes up my shading and coloring skills (that last one is obvious I know).

My partner and I have been debating on creating a separate gallery for our joint projects that would be related to our "Shop/Business" page. Some projects I only get to help or have a hand in so much, so they aren't worth posting on my gallery, however - I still had a hand. So to be fair, it would seem best to have another gallery for our joint projects. Any thoughts out there? We would appreciate some feedback on that.

As of right now, both of us have our hands tied with Christmas gifts, so no building up inventory or otherwise. Just Presents. That being said, some projects were finished and I will feature them below along with other projects that have either been tabled until after the holidays or otherwise.

Thank you for visiting my gallery and I hope you will continue to visit and support my work and that of my partner and I.
~Namaste~

Projects going on in the Wolfe and Moon Workshop:

Master Wolfe (My Partner) is still working on the Cabinet for his Mother and Father for Christmas (Finished!), a Display case for 'Lucielle' Bat from Walking Dead (New- On hold), 6ft Manga Shelf (New - T.B.D.).

Myself (Lady Moon) - finish Mermaid Tail Lapgan (On Hold), Revamped Flower Vase Tip-jar (FINISHED), finish painting 'Sun' themed Fairy Door (On Hold), Finish the concept design for my recipe box (On hold) carve then paint it, draw and paint a collage image of the Titans + Seahawks on the TN state cutout we have (On hold), paint the 'Day of the Dead' wooden cutout (Extended Hold for now) I have and figure out how to do the colors on it.

I think that's all the projects we have at the moment, there may be more, sometimes I lose track when I am writing them down in the journal.

Hey folks,
I just thought it'd be nice to give an update. I know my social updates haven't been up-to-date exactly but we have been very busy and a recent event has had me a bit out of touch. There has been some very hard news for my step-family and that is - my Grandmother has passed on. I was shocked and numb when I first got the news from my Step-Mom, because I have always thought of her family as my family. We were all so very close and I was treated like one of the family despite not being blood. I am sad she is gone because Grandma was always so thoughtful, kind and funny.

 The one thing I am happy about is that she joins Grandpa finally and I know he will be happy to have her back on the other side. So to commemorate her passing and to give something special to my Step-Mother I'd like to make her something that incorporates all three of their favorite colors (Grandma, Grandpa and my Step-Mother). I believe I have narrowed it down but I need to get supplies. Our budget is tight right now so I can't exactly do that at the moment. Hopefully soon, as I have other Christmas gifts to get onto making after I put the finishing touches on the Mermaid Tail Lapgan I have been working on.

My partner and I have been commissioned to make a couple different things and those I will add to our 'Project list' below. I also would like to inform folks that I have been hard at work on some concept sketches for the Upcycled Evening Gown I want to transform so there will be an update to the current 'WIP' picture for it in the gallery in the future so you can see where my thoughts are going. I am just trying to finalize the design ideas I like best. Sometimes I have so many good ideas I just don't know what will be the most fantastic and spectacular overall.

As a final thought, I would like to ask the folks reading this, do you think I should include the projects my husband is working on in my gallery? I often assist him with the projects and occasionally will help with some of the work on said projects, but because I feel I do so little I do not feel they are equally my projects. However, I often provide the services above that I mentioned as well as moral support and I am the official 'Bounce Ideas and get Advice' assistant as well. If you feel I play a bigger role than I feel I do, comment below and let your thoughts be known. This may eventually dictate what I ultimately change my new username to later on as well, so please do give some constructive thoughts. Thank you.
