I took my first soldering class. I have ALWAYS wanted to learn this and now I have. Gosh why did I wait so long. I am hooked, completely addicted to this new talent I was taught. Now to get all of my little creative ducks in a row and crank out ART. I am serious how cool this is. Pearl Button's line of cards is expanding to handmade jewelry. Yep.

I am learning FINALLY to go do all of the things you dream of, find a way to just go do it. Fill up each day with something that really makes you smile. I am sure trying and so far flipping to the moon with glee.

So happy with this new tiny adventure. Thanks for coming along.

artful production of 360 cards marching on

each card is hand cut, embellished, here are some drying overnight. i love bunches of items. always have.

me in my tiny studio creating to happy music in the background.

Today I sold my first 36 cards to a lovely shop. I enjoyed this more then I imagined. Funny but, seventeen years ago I started card lines (very different) designs then where I am at today as an artist.
I had a ball creating and making those cards. They soon within a year became bigger then me trying to hand make each one. I had no clue how to manufacture (still don't) learning. So I ended up leaving my love for creating cards to sell in mass behind.

I am now deeply involved in my class Hello Soul. Hello Business. and returning to some loves I left behind. One of them being happy cards, joyful, silly, how do you do fun cards. I still need help manufacturing ~ this time I am creating with the vision of coming full circle and getting my goods found nationally.

So for tonight I close up my little studio and wish to this big universe. Here is my wish, please send the right good folks to help me on my way of being found. Yep, that is the biggie.

some valentines flying out of my studio

sweet little girl marigold

you make my heart happy

dreamy love

a snappy little collection

Creating some new fun cards in the studio. Taking my love of vintage, silly, words and patterns ~ not to forget color. I am creating some new little card tags. I have always made cards in one form or another. I love the handmade textures, layering, painting, sewing really all of the details that go into creating a handmade card.

This collection I am creating is so much fun to create. I have found that I have ideas just swirling around in my head so I figured just design them. I am.

For today just sharing a few new treats. Happy almost Valentines Day!
