I don't know what I did. I think it was a mix of a flurry of different passwords I lost memory of, or the fact this account was registered under my old telus email that's since been deactivated.

All I have to say is, after what happened to my first DA account I'm beyond happy to have salvaged this one. I've recently been a busy little bee in my own way, very little amazing art but art in a 3 dimensional form. Wire wrapping pendants

I will be uploading images of all of my pendants, since it constitutes as Art, as well as some of my Miiverse images I've uploaded over the months/years.
I'm not giving up on my artistic skill. I know I'm a late bloomer now, all that talent I had at a younger age was washed away by the busy life as a single mother.

Now that I am no longer a single mother or a girl with no time, I'm trying to balance everything out, find my calling... My Etsy shop wasn't doing so well, so I took the time to ask fellow sellers on there what I can do to improve, and the community was amazing! They helped critique my shop and point out things I hadn't thought of before.

I'm hoping within the next few years to establish my own name on Etsy as a Shop Owner and one day make a bit of revenue... I'm aware I may never be able to make thousands of dollars in a short while, but perhaps it will keep me busy so I may feel a sense of accomplishment in my little world.

I figure, if I can say I am a "home business" owner, I can justify spending 3 days a week at the Gym when my wee one starts school without being labelled /that/ stay at home mom. I have the ability to do so much, I fear of letting it go to waste.

Does your best art come out when you have no idea what to do? It does for me. I find if I plan things out, I never get what I want. Something my brief experience in a high school Art class taught me, since it taught me very little, was when my teacher said "you have to give the painting what it wants"... Well... I applied that to ALL of my art, and it's been quite the journey.

Here's to re-visualizing my future and reawakening from the ashes!

In case anyone out there says, "Hey... I've seen this piece of art before under a different account!" No, I did not steal these pictures from anywhere. To be safe, I took them all again from my sketchbooks so you can see they were all re-taken on today's date.

2 years ago roughly, my daughter's dad's fiancee took out her revenge on me for being the mother of my child by doing the WORST POSSIBLE THING YOU CAN DO TO ANOTHER ARTIST. She hacked many of my accounts, but the one I was unable to recover that hit me the hardest was my DeviantART account KannaChidori. She deleted everything off of it, and by the time I'd realized what happened, I was able to recover my account, but all deactivated accounts are purged from the system at a certain time and I lost everything. Many of the pictures I'd uploaded, I no longer had access to the original piece, or pictures to commemorate them. It was a blow to my persona as an artist and it took me a long time to recover.

By making a new account, I made sure that I used all new e-mail addresses unguessable by her or my ex, and new passwords that are impossible to hack.

How did she hack it? Well, I was almost married to her fiancee just before this happened. I had all my passwords saved on a laptop he'd given to me and taken back during our split. She found all of the passwords, accounts, etc, and destroyed my internet life one click at a time.

So no, I haven't stolen any art. Any art that is based off of another's work is mentioned on my uploads. Thank you.
