I seem to be on a bird theme right now. I love birds. I've added several new necklaces to my Zazzle store in the past few days and they all seem to have birds on them since apparently I am on a bird theme right now. I didn't plan to be on a bird theme it just happened. Okay, so on to the necklaces.
A Vintage hummingbird I digitally altered to remove the Christmas greeting so it could be used for any day and then also added one of my own textures to.
A vintage sparrow with a vintage handwritten background. The background is used with thanks to Paper Digital Art and ImagesbyKim.
A vintage parrot with my own textures digitally added.
Vintage birds with vintage ledger paper
Vintage Barn Swallows with a vintage ad
I also have one that can be anything you want it to be. All you need to do is add you own photo or artwork.
It's fun to design on a smaller scale to create these necklaces. It's also not as messy to get creative and design as the handmade OOAK necklaces I was making during the summer to sale at the farmers markets. Some days I would have beads, vintage findings, wire, ect. scattered all over the place as I was designing and making those necklaces.

Creating and Loving It
So far so good. I am following my new year's resolution to have fun and create art for my Zazzle store. Above is on of the newest birthday cards in the store.
Here is one of the newest necklaces in the store.
I'm loving playing around with the vintage bird images I have in my collection and creating new works of art with them. I've also used a vintage bird in one of the newest greeting cards in the store.
It's such fun creating for the Zazzle store and avoiding the other store that I used to design for but am no longer going to be designing for. I thought about deleting that store all together but I am going to leave it up since I spent so much time the past few years getting all the designs in the store. I just won't add anything new to it this year and instead all my new artworks will go into my Zazzle store and some will also be sold locally at the store here in town and also at the Farmer's Markets when they start back up again in late spring. Now I feel like creating some more new art so I will see you sometime later. Have a great day! :)

Free Textures
I recently added some new textures to use by attribution to my Flickr texture stream. Feel free to use them as textures in your photography or backgrounds in your collages and ATCs.

Happy First Monday of 2011
Hello. I hope you had a Happy New Year. I have plans to be creative in 2011. I am giving up creating cards for a certain company which I will not name where the reviewers are difficult to deal with and I going to create more for my Zazzle store. I love to create for Zazzle and don't have to deal with reviewers there except for certain products like shoes and stamps and then the reviews are simple as long as you follow the rules with no questioning and rude remarks from reviewers.
So one of my resolutions this year is to create more and have fun creating art for my Zazzle store.
Here are a couple of the new items just in.

Create your own quality business card at zazzle
I was happy to see I sold some of my egg business cards this morning. Thanks to the purchaser. :)
Now if only the hens would start laying eggs again. They seem to have gone on a winter strike except for a few pullets who have just started to lay. The crazy weather changes have them messed up as well. On Friday it was in the fifties and then by the end of the day had dropped back to below freezing. Friday morning and afternoon all the duck hens were out and about searching for places to start laying eggs to start nesting and now they are wondering why spring ran away and winter came back. Well, I better go get some work done now. I hope that you have a wonderful year this year.
