Making Greetings!

Postcards from Tammy’s Studio!

This idea was suggested to me by my dear friend M at HeartsĀ  Desire4 Joy and I thought she was sheer genius for thinking of it. Not only does it allow people to buy homemade art and greetings at an affordable price, it also allows you to share it via mail and gifts! What a fun thing to be able to create… especially since my teen dream was to work for Hallmark. Now I can be my own “Hallmark” and do it from home in my PJ’s. Here’s the first one off the press today. I have some printer tweaking to do yet and some other minor adjustments but I should have a line of my greetings up on my Etsy shop by mid March. I’m really hoping you drop in and take a look around.

Yep.. I’m sitting with foot elevated today for a bit playing with art on the computer. It feels good to know I’ll be here without the stink from the two-month-old pink on me SOON! I now have four days left till the big “reveal” and I’m very much so looking forward to it. It’s gonna be an awesome Friday for me this week! Yippee!

 

Making Prints

I got a new printer for my birthday and I’ve been playing with it and tweaking my art photos in Photoshop. I’m waiting on some software and some paper but I have managed to come up with some prints that I can sell now. This is from an original painting. It’s a great way to add to your art collection on a budget and something I’ve really been wanting to do for quite some time. I plan on a line of greeting cards, bookmarks, postcards along with the prints. I’m also going to be posting some magnets tomorrow on my Etsy. Today’s posting is my “Draw Back Your Bow” print. After a bit of hit and miss I’m please to be able to post my first “print” for sale on Etsy. If you care to do some window shopping head on over, and remember window shopping is FREE!

 

Faith comes in many forms

Faith comes in many forms… and some it is wearable. While on a supply shopping spree I found these awesome wooden crosses and knew I could transform them into something unique. These one of kind wearable wonders are approximately 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches and stung on hemp cord. For the ease of wearing I tied them off with a knot so you can simply slip them over your head and not worry about fussing with a clasp. I added individuality to each one with different items from beads to glitters. I found some Fiskars Zingz at Big Lots that I thought would be fantastic fun to play with so I used them on the blue cross.  It’s fun digging into a project like this, I always start off by cleaning my desk and ending up with a huge pile of supplies smothering my desk. It’s also fun to try new projects and new mediums to stretch your imagination muscles!

Check these out on my Etsy.

Bedazzle yourself for Christmas, stuff a stocking, or maybe the answer to your Secret Santa whoas! I just finished my second batch of these super fun pins.

I’m excited about some cross necklaces I’m working on as well. I’m impatiently waiting for paint to dry so I came here to say hi to all of you and to share my latest shop additions. Happy Thursday.. and wow.. where has the week gone!?
