Flower Postcards

Ohhh on Sunday I gave myself a little present! I upgraded my Flickr to a PRo account!!!!!!!!!!!
I started to really miss the images that were hidden because I was over 200. I love flickr and I really love the community it creates around photos. So now I am a Pro!!!

After a few long weeks these lovelies arrived and are available in the shop. I have decided that this will be the last time I rely on old art for new work. From now on only new images and ideas.

Tomorrow night we are going downtown for my the shop unofficial art show , since I only have 2 paintings and there are a lot of other artists.

Something new and fun

Something new for you to say thank you with



Also perfect for little promos, business cards, ACEOs and ATCs
Completely recycled envelopes and little cards now having fun in The Shop

I am slowly getting ready for the May 12th little show. I made these envelopes for all of my small items like mirrors, buttons etc. I have about 50 or more envelopes. Yes I do have high hopes.
Now I have to do some marble magnets and finish a few more pendant ideas. Oh yes and start making a lot of lip balm ;)

Job front - I received a rejection again. I don't know what I am doing that is so bad. I am still looking and looking

What else....hmmmm I have to get back to painting but I am lazy. For now I am letting the big painting cook in my head and not touching it for a while. I am thinking of doing the same painting but in palette knife, in order to keep it abstract. I want to see how that will turn out.
