Hi Everyone,
Thought I would share the progress of my newest painting with you. This is currently a 6x6 version. I really love this composition so I am going to paint the large version of this in the future.
I'm also still working like a mad woman to get ready for the Artist's Holiday Market at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art November 18th and 19th. I took the advice of Leslie Saeta from the Christmas in July, Artists Helping Artists show, and am working on some gift tags for the market. They are a bit labor intensive but they are cute.
To make these gift tags I ordered free business cards from Vistaprints, instead of a business logo I just had my Christmas painting images on the card with To: and From:. I stamped the back with my free stamp from Vistaprint with my e-mail and website info. And I packaged them in these cute little red bags I found at Michael's which I purchased using a 40% off coupon. Did you know at Hobby Lobby and Michael's you can now pull the coupon up on your smart phone and they can scan the bar-code at the register. So much more convenient:) I embossed my little red bags with my embossing tool that I bought earlier this year.
Hope everyone is having a great week so far. I'll see you Friday for my Friday Feature:)
