1. My shop has been accepted into Etsy's TAG Treasury Team... and it is intense, you guys. They have, like, rules and schedules for treasury-making and cross-promotion. But they are also a genuinely friendly and welcoming bunch. And I've seen views and favorites in my...
I took some more product photos for shop listings this weekend, and decided to try out a new background. For the shirts, I've mostly been using our backyard fence or our hammock. But we also have brick walls on the sides of our house, and one side in particular...
If you've ever looked at one of the listings for a customizable art print in my shop, you've probably seen a collage similar to the one above. This grid of color shows a variety of Nepalese lokta papers that I print on. The grid on the shop listings is a little...
1. I'm guest posting over at Lena's place today with simple ways to put good karma out there. Check it out. 2. I've thought of about a million other things to use yesterday's dip recipe with. Carrots. Crackers. Pretzels. On toast. On bagels. On French toast. With...
Coming soon to the shop, the new ivy design. I tried out a new screen-making method with this one (acetate stencil) and I just this past weekend got it printing cleanly. So stay tuned! Meanwhile, today is the last day to take advantage of the holiday weekend coupon...
If you've been eyeing something in my shop, it's a great time to snag it! Now through midnight on Monday, take 20% off anything in the shop with the above code. Good on custom orders as well! Just start a convo with me so we can get the custom listing up before...
I'm trying to get all of my one-of-a-kind (i.e. no longer available) blank stock off the shelves so I can move completely to made-to-order, and this seemed like just the season to clear off the longsleeved items that had been languishing unprinted. Head on over to the...
I know, I know - it's been awhile since I've done a new design for the shop. But I've had the itch to draw this for awhile, and finally sat down to do it this past weekend. So, behold, the next design coming soon to a t-shirt near you: That's a pretty cool looking...
I am having a printing marathon over here as I try to get ready for my craft show/party this weekend. (If you're in the Austin area and want an invite, just let me know!) My office is kind of a disaster area right now. Prints laid flat on every available surface to...
1. We head to Port Aransas and the beach tomorrow! And I'm super excited. Except... I made the mistake of checking the weather forecast: Boo!! I'm hoping those chance of rain percentages go down or are wrong and really mean 0. Because a beach vacation where it rains...
