new look for blog

I have been trying out new looks for this blog & I think this is the one! I like the bold simplicity of it as it ties in a bit closer to my website.

I'm starting to work on new work for the upcoming One of a Kind Show! I am excited to be in the first 5 days this year and am hoping to entice my shoppers with new products and more of my illustrated maps!

Since the next show I participate in will be the OOAK - I think its long overdue that I post some pics from the Make It Show from early June! A little behind schedule but what can you do - its summer!

Although not the best photography, it does shows off my mini paintings, cards & coasters well enough. The little chalkboard sign is a new addition to my display and I used chalkboard marker (love!) on it which makes for easy writing but not easy removal as I discovered. A quick coat of chalkboard paint will remedy that for the next show.

Off to paint a new alphabet now!
