Year of the Snake

Here is a little animation of my latest pup up card design. This sweet snake comes to the fore during its year to shine with a asian style paper lantern in its mouth ready to celebrate the spring festival in this lunar new year of the lowly (as in the close-to-the-earth sense) serpentes.

Absolutely amazing. I'm in awe.
Karen Bit Vejle says she is most comfortable with a scissors in her hand. Thank goodness. Look at the gift a pair of scissors in her hands have given the world!

Magic TED talk by Marco Tempest

I love the combination of old technologies to create a modern magic show. Fantastic entertainment and educational too! I love TED talks, this one really pops!.  

kindred spirits par quatre

The end of last year was a busy time for me. After last years bumps (moving & broken wrist) I was able to return my focus to my work in the latter half of the calendar. I made a goal for myself that in addition to selling on etsy, I would participate in four shows to get my work out there in the local indie art/craft scene. I started in May. I seemed it would be a stretch after a few deadlines were just out of reach for me. As it turned out a lot of unexpected opportunities came up and I ended up participating in seven shows! What a great feeling to surpass a goal. I think I will be making a lot more goals for this year. Whether I succeed or fail at least I'll have a path to take.

At one of the shows I got an order for the customization of my Kindred Spirits card. Instead of two girls my customer wanted four times four. I'm tickled with how this card delights me so. In addition to making more goals for myself, I also want to give myself assignments to stimulate my creative production, now i just need to think of some assignments.
