print, print, print: then ship

I’ve been busy printing towels. Every towel is different because each shape is hand printed. So, nothing is placed exactly the same from towel to towel. Also, I mix my own paint colors, so each roll of paint shifts the color slightly as more white is picked up or more yellow is rolled into the red. The broth in the jar in this photo, for example, ranges from turmeric orange to butter yellow.

Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered cards and towels in October, and to those of you with current orders. It’s been such a joy for me to wrap up packages, get them to the post office, and know my work has found a home.

All of my new cards are now in stock. They are blank inside with a story on the back and make good thank you cards, encouragement cards, host/hostess cards, and even birthday cards.

If you’re ready to think about holiday gifts, I’ve got original art:

Gifts that fit in an envelope and are easy to mail:

And at least two themed packages. For nature lovers and/or avid Oregonians: Judy and Little Bear, the Silverspot card with the State motto and story on the back, and a few holographic butterfly stickers. For the gardener and home cook: the “make your own veggie broth” kitchen towel, card, and original tiny drawing.

I also have a few towels in stock. If you know you want some for holiday gifts, connect with me now, and I’ll make time to print more. They take two weeks to print, cure, and wash.

That’s it for November. Now, I’ve got to go wrap up another order and get to work on a new project. Hurrah! More soon, and as always–thank you for following my creative journey and for all of your support. It’s so nice to know you’re out there!!
