trinkets for tour

29 Jul

Working hard to get organized for the upcoming Columbia Valley Tour of the Arts this long weekend. I finally got all my little bits and bobs finished up: little easy things for people to take along with them, perfect for those who can’t commit to a larger print or pricier piece, but who still love my work and want some memorabilia. Blackstar requested some more button earrings since they had very few pairs left; so while I was at it, I made some extras to take along with me to my booth. I also made over 50 pin-back buttons and magnets featuring various images of my work… I promise these will be up in my etsy shop before the end of August! Currently, I am away from the home studio, and thus short on button press supplies, so once I am home they are definitely a priority… expect them soon.Today I am doing some more book binding and hoping to get over a dozen altered journals fixed up in time for Sunday, while Saturday will mostly likely be dedicated to pricing and other last minute details. Excited & nervous: a good mix of nerves.
