Finally A New Post & New Items

Girl Monkey Face Notes

Boy Monkey Face Notes

Two new designs that I finished weeks ago and have been just sitting around. Just haven't been that motivated to get new designs going lately. The girl monkey was from a custom job that I modified slightly and I did the boy monkey for all the boys who are monkey lovers too. I have flat cards, round stickers and address labels too in these designs. So cute for any monkey lover!

These cute faces will be in my eBay store this week and a flat card version will be in my etsy shop soon.

I think they are adorable and hope they go over well.

Digital art print for my etsy shop

This is a first of many digital art prints I hope to offer on etsy. This mermaid was originally created for a custom birthday invitation, note cards, favors etc. I have changed her a bit for the art print so that the birthday girl has a one-of-a-kind just for her. Basically this one is slightly different. I also have her as a brunette, redhead, raven-haired, medium tan and darker skin tones.

She is 5" x 7" including the white area around the print. The image itself is about 4.25" x 6.25". I also have her in an 8" x 10" size. If you need another size to fit a specific frame or space I can make that change.

She comes with the word Mermaid but I can change it to your child's name or another word.

Lovely Envelope From Across The Pond

I was surfing around etsy one day during the YART Sale and found this wonderful artist. Eloise from HidenSeek Her art has such a great fairytale quality that I was immediately charmed. Since she was having a sale it was the perfect time for me to purchase one of her lovely prints.

I was so surprised and pleased by the package the print came in! Isn't it wonderful?! It's a piece of art in itself and I'll be keeping it.

Check out the back too! The whole theme carries through to the back of the envelope. That is so awesome!

The print is called "Mom, this is the friend I told you about". The artist included some fun little stickers that matched the art, wrote me a note on paper that matched the art and included a great business card that coordinated with it all. This my friends is Brand Marketing at it's best!

It survived the trip very well all the way from the UK and I was so pleased I had to tell everyone about it. I will return to purchase again from this wonderful seller. Not only was the product first rate her customer service was excellent!

So if you have a few minutes grab a cuppa joe or tea and look through her store, you will not be disappointed.

New Printer

I have a new printer in my studio. Purchased it right before I became so ill and have only had a chance to use it once. It's an Epson Stylus Photo Printer. It handles large format printing on a variety of papers. I bought it to complement my color laser printer. It does everything my laser can't: rough textured media, broad blocks of colors and larger size media.


I'm extremely pleased with the new printer so far! It looks so small in this picture but it really is a beast. When you open up the paper feeder and the part where the paper comes out it's like a "Transformer" (more than meets the eye!) So cool! Yeah I know I'm a geek.

My plan is to use this printer to print some graphics I drew and made into art prints. Great for kids rooms and rooms for kids at heart. I'm very excited about the whole thing and can't wait until I move into my new studio space so I can finally spread out.
