My First Art Market!

I'm really excited about selling at my first market this Saturday, March 7.  It will be held during Heights First Saturday on 19th Street in the Houston Heights.  The Yale Street Art Market is held every month on the first Saturday.

I will be sharing a tent with Amie Needham from A Punkin Card Company.  This will be a nice way for me to ease into selling one-on-one and see how the set-ups and tear-downs go.

Wish me luck!

A Robotastic Birthday.

My little boy turned 3 last weekend and so for his party he decided he wanted a robot cake, well that in turn meant ROBOT PARTY to me.  This was not an easy task because robot things, ie decorations, cake designs, and party favors are pretty much non-existent except when you don't need them and then of course they will be everywhere.  

So that meant I had to make the invitations, some of the decorations and try to be clever with the cake decorating.

First the invitations.  I used stickers, the ONLY robot stickers in all of the Michael's I was looking in.  Then I made 3 large robots using silver wrapping, various sizes of boxes I had laying around, and florist foam.  Lastly, I was tempted to have a large robot cake created but really didn't want to fork out $200-$300 for it so I opted for a photo cake using a print Jack has hanging on his wall. It didn't turn out great but he really like it. I also found robot images online to place on gift bags and was lucky enough to find a couple of robot themed items in the $1 aisle at Michaels. 

                                                  

Facebook Business Pages.

I just recently realized I can add a separate business page to my Facebook account.  These pages are searchable in a directory and you can add lots of useful information for potential buyers.

Here's my Facebook Business page.

A Photo Collage

My (almost) 3-year-old son received a camera for Christmas 

and here are his shots.  The quality is not great at all but 

viewing them in thumbnail form they have a nice grainy 

look- if you like that sort of thing. Note that there are many 

of feet.

First Screenprints.

I received a screenprinting kit for Christmas and I am quite 

pleased with my first results.  I am pretty anxious and 

looking forward to all the different techniques and methods 

I can use.  Check out the first results:
