So, I’ve been working on a few block printing projects and was finally able to take some photos to post. This is just a snippet of the designs I’ve completed.

I’m just pondering the idea of adding these to my Etsy shop.

So – click on the link below to see the local news story my friend at WCCO wrote after I suggested she do a little write-up on Etsy and the local MN Etsy street team!

Can you believe that sales on Etsy have tripled in the last year?! exciting!

So, I am excited to say that a friend of mine from one of our local news stations, WCCO, is running a little story on Etsy tonight at 10pm! I believe they are including Etsy as a whole and also tidbits from our local MN Etsy street team artists! After the story runs, I will post the video.

I have currently been a bit obsessed with hands-on printing techniques. This is my latest favorite book. It’s titled PRINTING BY HAND by Lena Corwin. Lena explains in amazing detail many different hand printing/surface printing techniques from simple stenciling to block printing to many variations of screen printing. Check out her blog here.

I just had a convo message in my Etsy shop email that I’ve been featured again on another blog. It’s very flattering when this happens out of the blue. It was a feature of Valentine Finds on Etsy. Take a look here at the Bags and Buds blog – thanks Wendy!!

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!

fun with potatoes… yes, I said potatoes

Yesterday I kept my little gal home from school since she’s been battling a nasty cold and had a fever the night before. But, since she wasn’t bedridden we decided to do a little fun project that I’ve been wanting to try since I read this book Lotta Prints by Lotta Anderson. It’s a really inspiring book about surface printing techniques using just about anything!

So – we decided to make some potato prints yesterday and I think we’re going to use these for some of our holiday gift wrap. People seem to appreciate the handmade more than storebought anyway, and it was a fun project to do while we were cooped up inside.

Also, i was able to bring home the last few pieces that I created in my pottery class. The class is finished now until the winter session. I’m pretty excited because my instructor asked if I would like to display my tray with the leaf on it in an art show starting Dec. 1st at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
