On Saturdays in the summer I can usually be found at the local Farmer's Market selling prints, originals and lots and lots of cards. I had been printing out some shipping labels that stuck to the bags that I put cards and prints in when I sold them. I think I printed something like Thank You and below that my web-site address. I wasn't too happy with them and finally came up with an idea I think I'll be happy with. I had a stamp made with my name/watercolors and web address on it. I love the look of craft paper bags and I think the stamp with my name looks much better than I was using before. What do you think ... do you like the stamp?
I hope by now you've all seen the preview of the book I've been illustrating for such a long time. If not you can see a preview by going to the previous blog entry and clicking on the book widget. This will take you to the preview where you can click through 15 pages of the book. The book can be enlarged by clicking on the "full screen" text in the upper right hand corner.
Nancy,
ReplyDeleteLove the stamp idea and the book looks fabulous!
I looked at the book online already, and I applaud you! It's very, very cute! I was disappointed I couldn't see it all!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing our local farmers' market this year for the first time too. Not just art, but baking and craft stuff, but I get the most boost out of hearing comments on my artwork and making the occasional sale. It's fun!
Thank you Angela. I hope you do well at the farmers market. Ours only last two hours a Saturday and is really busy. Its a great way to help me afford art supplies. Your work is lovely and fresh .. how could they not love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I have to go look at the book in a second, but I love the stamp--plus, how smart to have your website there. If they love your work, they can find you again. Great idea, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteLove the stamp Nancy. Simple and straight forward. I bet it looks great on the craft paper bags. Here's to many sales and more followers to your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLike the stamp and love the book illustrations!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI just received my copy of your book in the mail yesterday! It is an enchanting story and your illustrations make it magical. Wishing you all the best,
