<br />
Yesterday, I spent the day helping a friend at a local craft show. Before the show started I strolled around to check out the competition. I noticed one lone stationery vendor. Oh excuse me..."stationary" vendor. The vendor in question, had a cute little chalkboard sign stationed outside of their tent with the words "FINE STATIONARY" in big bold letters.<br />
<br />
At first, I thought it was a mistake and walked over to help a fellow paper vendor out. As I got closer to the tent, I noticed stationery wasn't spelled wrong once on the chalkboard but throughout the vendor's tent. "Fine Stationary". Hmm...no mistake.<br />
<br />
At that point, I figured it didn't make sense to say a word. In fact, I grew concerned the person might not appreciate me pointing out the misspelling.<br />
<br />
Oh well...doesn't look good when you don't know how to spell the name of your product.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08780432159306443216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437175353544910178.post-11228197443171311442011-11-15T22:36:00.001-05:002011-11-15T22:54:20.999-05:00More holiday cards!Actually, I'm still working on this set but pretty happy with what I have so far:<br />

I'm trying to help develop her technique. I admit my formal training is limited in certain disciplines. For example: painting. My painting instruction is limited to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joy_of_Painting">Joy of Painting with Bob Ross</a>. Before you laugh, I know I can't be the only one making happy trees.<br />
<br />
My daughter had to make a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diorama">diorama</a> of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tundra">tundra</a> for class. So guess who decided to make it into a painting lesson? <br />

Painted with acrylic paint in a Payless shoe box. (Yeah, we recycle/reuse/remix like that)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
It took about a week to complete. I think it came out pretty well considering she doesn't paint often and I didn't help (take over) too much. I let her choose the colors and basically just defined things a bit when she went off track. For example, she picked turquoise blue for the sky. I softened it by adding the clouds by dabbing on white paint with a crumpled paper towel. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08780432159306443216noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437175353544910178.post-23614446636036149972011-11-01T21:30:00.000-04:002011-11-01T21:30:38.874-04:00October 29, 2011?

Unfortunately, my printer is refusing to print back copy so production is a bit delayed. I plan on releasing new holiday cards this month. Just need to sort out my printer issues first. I haven't printed new back copy during my break to finish grad school. And during late summer's hurricane, the printer got some water damage from a leak. I'm thinking its time to look for replacements. It is five years old and I really want a wireless printer. Any suggestions?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08780432159306443216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437175353544910178.post-11222063938001112202011-10-20T20:46:00.000-04:002011-10-20T20:52:34.302-04:00My Mind's Eye Six by Six CollectionI actually noticed these a few weeks ago and decided to wait.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">These kind of pads can be hit or miss and they have a lot of duplicates. That being said, I like having them around for larger projects. They are also great for the random card that crosses my to-do list. K and Company is known for their vintage style products so I'm sure I'll find a lot of floral and muted patterns. Its due in my mail box tomorrow.</span></span></div>

(She'll be nine at the end of this month.) At her age, I was into drawing patterns with a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_%28drafting%29">compass</a> and ruler.<br />
<br />
I learned about using the compass for circles in art class and got hooked on different design patterns. I would create different color schemes and color them in with colored pencils and crayons. I did this quick compass drawing to give her an example.<br />
