Hi all
I know posts are slow at the moment. Bear with me if you will. I am frantically preparing goodies for the store before the holiday season completely passes me by.
I also find myself neurotically and irresolutely changing the store's name and logo...but I think this may just be a form of eternal procrastination. Your advice might come in handy here. These are the two names I'm struggling over:
'SourMilk and Cream' or 'The Empty Jam Jar' ??
I'm leaning towards the latter...anybody have any suggestions?
Also I have had a frantic comment (or two) from my sister asking me to explain the process by which I make these little bits and bobs. So I thought I might actually do this in a blog in case there were others who might also like a little clarification.
All the images that I have in the store whether printed on the greeting cards or on the T-shirts, Shoes, Aprons or postage stamps are original images that I have designed and painted myself. While they are computer generated images, no photographs have been used at any point in creation of these images. They are all 'hand-painted' using what is known as a Wacom Tablet and a Stylus Pen. It is an amazing tool that is meant to simulate, using particular graphic software, the real-life paintbrush. Obviously it does not, but it does create pretty realistic images nevertheless. I am still a novice but am learning as fast as I can and am having a ton of fun while I am at it. Do I miss the smell of turpentine and the constant sticky mess of oil paint in my hair, in my eyebrows, on every piece of black clothing I own - not one bit!
Anyway, here are a few more bits and bobs that I managed to put in the shop over the weekend.
