Etsy Update

So many new things. Cards and postcards and i finally have one of my magical brooches for sale. xx

Back from Easter

Wetas are so great. Expect paintings of them in the near future. Heres a photo of me holding one. Also saw tuataras which were awesome but hate flash photos so i only have blurry nighttime half-tail shots. There were little blue penguins, too, but I've seen so many of them i wasn't so exited.

I love these tiny little wooden frames... I am doing a little set of these. Intended to be worn as a brooch (the little pinback is attached) but would look cute hanging up somewhere.

My issue now is with pricing.. it is an original painting, and was bloody hard to paint so tiny (my hands are misleading.. it is very small. I have the smallest hands in existance) and the little frame is cherrywood. But also i would like them to be very affordable so that people aren't afraid to wear them. It's sealed with varnish so the paint won't run.

So, dear readers, how much do you think is a reasonable price for this?

I will upload pictures of the others as they're finished.

Also i just put a bunch of photos of my show with Sarah McNeil up on my flickr account

Sarah came over on friday and we played with my brand new Gocco printer. It was lucky she was here because the whole thing scared me a little. But it was fun! and easy! and look, prints! I'll only print 50 of these, and they are up on etsy now for super cheap. The ink is very pretty and grey. Also i just realised i forgot to mention the size on their etsy page.. oh well!
I have a million of these tiny super cute frames for 4x6" prints, so i may sell some framed if people are interested.

I have been so busy since i got back from Auckland! I now have a job, well, two jobs. One an ordinary retail job, and one working in the Wellington City Gallery which is great and fun and all that. It means less time for drawing, but having some more regular money coming in is very nice.

Mine and Sarah McNeils show is still running at Bats, we will be having a closing party sometime next week or the week after, which i will post about when a date/time is settled.

Been working on a cover illustration for a lovely magazine.. will also post about that when it is out. It's very exciting and im pleased with the painting so far.

I bought myself a Gocco printer and gosh its so much fun. My first print is just a bit of fun, and in a very small edition, and will be up on etsy soon.
