SEND SOME LOVE

$12 per bag

I love to sending and receiving Christmas cards.  I know I am one of fewer and fewer as the years go by but there is still something special about getting a card that someone picked out just for you. 

I have handmade cards packaged in translucent cloth bags 4 to a bag. 

Each card in the bag is the same.

 

AT THE END OF THE DAY... Just add a short note and send some love to someone special.

 

BUDDY CAN YOU SPARE ME A DIME

4X3 notebooks $3 ea or 2 $5

When I built my studio one of the ideas in the back of my head was to have a place where I could share time and space with other people who like to do art and a place for open studio days throughout  the year to show (and hopefully sell) my art. 

The older I get the harder it gets to do art shows, especially outdoor shows. 

I am working on signage for the end of the driveway and display space in the studio and working out times and marketing (my least favorite part) and hoped to have it all worked out by this month but it looks like it won't be ready till sometime early next year. 

In the meantime Christmas is just around the corner and there is nothing like 'doing' as a way to learn so instead of procrastinating till things are 'perfect' I am posting a few things I hope you think will make nice gifts and/or stocking stuffers.  I will add more, a few each day, for several days so keep watching and if anyone is interested in anything they see or has any questions just send me a message.    

AT THE END OF THE DAY...the secret of getting ahead is getting started...

2x3 leather button books $4 ea

IT'S HEEERRRE...

November has finally arrived.

The last few weeks have been a trial but life is leveling out again and with my happy light and upped dosage of vitamin D even daylight savings time doesn't seem so bad. 

My studio is cozy and warm and full of new ideas to be explored.  

For our next budding artist

I am well on my way to finishing my 'handmade' Christmas gifts, (don't tell Ady) the finishing touches are being put on our latest remodeling project, and the holiday season is getting underway. 

In October I took a series of printmaking classes and I'm thinking next year I'd like to expand on what I learned.  Here are some samples of my first tries...

Dry Point

Chine Colle

Three Color Mono Print

The combinations that can be done with these three techniques is amazing...and if I scan then into my computer...well...my head wants to explode every time I think about it.

AT THE END OF THE DAY...I think maybe winter won't be too bad this year.
