Red Delicious

I know, I know… Long time, no post. Needless to say things have been a bit crazy, but overall in a very good way. Some recent developments include house-hunting, children’s book reading, and general everyday goodness.  I’m honestly thinking about shifting the perspective of this blog a bit to something a bit more “review” oriented… [...]

Splish Splash

I was always aware that vendors on Etsy sometimes do fun trades with one another, kind of like a bartering system. I had never done one before until recently when I was contacted by Patty, the wonderful lady behind Pixie Soap.

I’m so darn glad that my very first trade went well. I was a little [...]

Fun with Silhouettes, Part Deux

Here’s what happened with those little bird silhouettes from earlier. Not bad, really. The set actually looks pretty cute. As soon as the big bucks start rolling in from the new job, I plan on getting these babies framed so I can hang them all in an arrangement similar to the one in this [...]

Staying on top with “Childrens Art”

Etsy is a great place for crafters–if you’re a person who makes cool things (be it clothes, paper goods, and anything else) then Etsy is a great place for you. But sometimes it’s really tough to get exposure there, which is unfortunate since it has so much built-in site traffic.

I’ve started a new routine of [...]

Lazy Thursday

In my case, I think that the inevitable result of a few days of compulsive productivity is a day or two to unwind. The freedom to do this is one very cool thing about being a full-time artist–I’ll certainly miss this flexibility when I start my new job in early March. Still, the allure of [...]
