New In My Etsy Shop!

Urban Landscape

Just a super quick update to let you know that I've got some brand new handmade postcards available in my Etsy shop this morning! If you liked Legacy, which appeared in my last post, it's now available to purchase, along with a whole host of new images, including Tapping In , Urban Landscape (pictured above) and more!

Hope you're having a good weekend in your neck of the woods.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mail Art

So I've been running my own little postcard factory the last couple of days. I've printed some of my most favourite images I created in Wading In, Light Hunters, Swan Dive and Getting Through the Grey and made them (by hand!) into postcards.

My friend Deb and I were chatting yesterday and she told me that she's got a bunch of them tacked to her inspiration board in her studio. She said that she contemplated sending them as postcards, but then decided that she couldn't bear to part with them. *grins* That made me hugely happy!

The good news is that I've packaged them into sets of four and have them available for purchase in my Etsy, so if you love them just as much, you can always order a set to keep and one to send. Just convo me if you want two identical sets and I'll hook you up! (I'm making them as fast as my hands will let me.)

It's been dark and rainy here the last while and I've been busy with the 2012 Olympic Women's Soccer Qualifying Tournament, (GO CANADA GO!!) so I haven't had the time or energy to shoot photos. Hopefully I'll be back on track by the weekend. There are only 5 more weeks of Getting Through the Grey left!

Leap of Faith

So for awhile now, I've been making handmade postcards from images I've created in the photography classes I've been taking. I've always thought I would love working with a card company, but since that hasn't happened (yet) I've been content to start making them on my own. I love postcards and I've made a few sets to exchange with a few of my classmates in Getting Through the Grey.

My friend Pip got the packet I sent her in the mail this week and encouraged me to put some of my postcards for sale in my Etsy shop. I hemmed and hawed about it and then she emailed me again yesterday, giving me another gentle nudge. This morning, I took a leap of faith and went ahead and did it. Sometimes it's hard to put yourself out there, but honestly, what do I have to lose? No risk, no reward! (Thanks Pip for your vote of confidence! xo)

I have three different sets available, with plans to offer more, once I get prints made, which hopefully will happen later today.  Until then, you can find my first three sets here, here and here. You can send them to a friend or to keep for yourself. They'd also look cool sewn into your journal, or you could always frame them-it's up to you! Pip said she plans to frame hers.
