Magnetic Personalities

I've just listed four new sets of magnets on my Etsy site (see link in right-hand column).  I figured if I was going to have to continue to contend with a metal post in the middle of my Bellingham Farmers Market booth, I might as well make it pay.  It's working out great!

It's Almost Christmas

Well here it is...Christmas Eve.  Keeping my Christmas preparations very simple has been an interesting development for me.  This year I've spent more time appreciating the holiday embellishments displayed by others, i.e the office, the lights on houses, etc.  I'm going to try to carry that simplicity into the new year, although a flurry of artistic ideas have been percolating and I'm anxious to put them to paper.  Plans include a greater emphasis on my Etsy shop with more bird and animal paintings and completing several large-scale commissioned pieces.  Maybe this is just the calm before another artistic storm.  I hope your holiday has been filled with the things good memories are made of.  Merry Christmas to all.

I love Etsy!

I have finally developed my Etsy store. I know, I know. Where have I been. Etsy has been all the rage for several years now and I'm just getting there now... but better late than never. There are soooo many wonderfully talented people using Etsy, it's more than just a little bit intimidating, but what the hey. Scroll down to find my Etsy link in the right-hand margin. Hey, look at me... I just managed to post the Etsy widget to this blog. Mom would be so proud.
