Zodiac Girls Updates....

I've done a lot of work with my

'Zodiac Girls' the past

week or so.

After the Scrabble Tile Pendants,

I decide to list all the 'girls'

as 8" x 10" prints.  They are listed together with the 5x7's.

I've made each one into iPhone cases on Zazzle

and

included them on my Fine Art America site

where they are available as greeting cards, regular prints and

canvas prints.

I will be offering them as bookmarks (at some point)

and sometime in the Fall

as pocket mirrors.

That will probably be 'it' for my girls...

but it's been lots of fun to see what all I can do with them.

Wrapping Up 2010

Reflecting back over the past year..

I think.it has been a very good year!

I've had my share of things that I've complained about...

mostly to do with my computer and internet..

but I've managed, in spite of them.

This was my best Etsy year ever...

and I did it mostly from my dining room table

or my from my recliner.

With my youngest son now living in North Dakota...

and my 'college' son happy with his little 

'efficiency' upstairs...

I'll be turning my basement back into my Studio.
This should mean...
more original paintings in my Shops.

I've changed the looks and the contents of my
Bonanza Shop.
I've removed ALL Rustic Goth pieces from this Shop
leaving only my CMZ Art pieces,
which all have much 'lighter' themes.

My Rustic Goth Artfire Shop
houses my 'melancholy' girls
which will not be found on Etsy or Zibbet.

I'll be adding a lot of new Rustic Goth pieces to my
Fine Art America Shop
which make my art available on Greeting Cards
and on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.

Hopefully, before the beginning of the year,
I'll have new pieces in my Zibbet and Zazzle Shops.

A nice 'Plus' to the end of my year...

my 'Two Hearts' piece was featured on the Front Page of

Fine Art America

recently!

All in all...I'm looking forward to a Great New Year!!

My Fine Art America Site

I have 'updated' my 

Fine Art America site

to make...

stretched canvas prints...

large framed prints...

and even Greeting Cards...

of my art

available for sale.

For several years I have searched for

companies that would do this for me,

so that I could offer them in my Etsy Shop

but the price was just too prohibitive.

It's also difficult for me to know which prints

would make the best greeting cards...

and most companies require a minimum order

per design...

so..

Fine Art America does all this for me.

I do have some similar items available in my

Zazzle shop

but what really 'sold' me on 

Fine Art America was the canvas prints 

and

participation in the

ABC/ Disney licensing program.

So...I don't have a lot of items on my

Fine Art America site...yet...

but I will be adding new pieces throughout the coming

days..weeks and months.

I'll have a lot of my Rustic Goth pieces listed..

so that they can be available in ways that I am unable to offer

in my Etsy Shop.

Shop Update

You may

or may not have noticed...

I have pulled a lot

of pieces out of

my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

About once or twice a year I evaluate

everything I have listed in my

Etsy Shop 

and decide what I want to do 

with each piece.

Well...it's that time again!

I have either pulled

or I'm in the process of pulling

a number of pieces.

I like to have a manageable number

of items in each of my shops...

and when the shops get too unwieldy for me..

I 'clean house'.

So...if there was a piece you were 

'in love' with and you don't see

 in my Etsy Shop...

you can check..
Rustic Goth Zibbet,

1000 Markets,

or

Rustic Goth Artfire.

I have a LOT of artwork...

and much of it isn't even being offered anymore,

plus...

it didn't make sense to have duplicate artwork

in my shops...

so

I am in the process of

making each one of my shops unique

in the art that is being offered.

Some of the same pieces will
be offered on merchandise in my
Zazzle Shop...
and will eventually be offered as a
Print on Demand print
at
Fine Art America.

I like that collectors will be able
to purchase Canvas Art Prints
at Fine Art America,
as soon as I have signed up for the
print on demand program.

So...that's an 'update' on
my shops...
and I'm hoping to have everything
all 'restructured'
by the end of next week.
