We lost our dear girl, Serena yesterday. It was so strange last night going to bed and not having her there to say goodnight to and then waking up this morning without her. She was an amazing dog. She would have loved to see the new ducklings that came hatched out yesterday. She loved all animals but esp. the babies.
Here are a few of my fave photos I have of Serena.
Ok, no more. I am starting to tear up again. I'll always have the good memories of her.
On a much happier note. We had a dozen ducklings hatch yesterday. These are Apple's. Apple is my duck I got as a fertile egg from New York that I put in the incubator and hatched. Sky Jr. should of had ducklings also. She was sitting on a nest but I think the eggs weren't any good. She is helping Apple with her ducklings now.

Digital and Paper Collage
I am doing more collage work both digitally and also using actual paper. It is fun. I will upload more to my store soon. I have another stack of paper collages ready to photograph. I also have some more digital collages done and ready to upload. But sometimes there are too many people trying to upload at once so I can't get anything uploaded and have to try again later. Here are some of the items in my store already.
I've also been so busy with the farmer's markets each week but I try to find at least a little bit of time each day to do some collage work either digitally or using actual paper.

Handmade Cards
I have taken some photos of my handmade ATCs, ACEOs, ect. to sale as reproduction greeting cards. They are on Zazzle and a few are on another site also. The other site had the strangest request. They wanted me to make my handmade stuff not look so handmade and look more polished and professional. I thought the point of handmade was that it was handmade and not perfect. They didn't like the crinkled paper I purposely used on some of the ATCs for the effect I was going for. I've decided I won't be designing anything new for that other site and will be designing more for Zazzle now. Zazzle doesn't complain about the handmade look. I even have some fans of the store that like that look. I shouldn't have to change my art to satisfy what someone else (the other site) wants.
Here are a few of them that are new on Zazzle.
The other site let this one on but said it would be better if I digitally added the words instead of using my own handwritten words. But on a handmade card I think it should look handmade. Anyways... Thanks for letting me vent this morning.

Farmer's Markets
Farmer's Markets have been keeping us busy. I've been going to three a week and this week it will be 4 plus a swap meet on Sunday. I took this photo at the Thursday night market. I sold a couple of necklaces and a postcard that night :) Last night at the market I had something marked $2.00 and a nice lady came over and demanded she pay $5.00 for it. Sweet! Most people complain my $2.00 art is too expensive so I never know what to price things at. Well, I best be going as we are leaving here soon for another market.

Muscovy Ducks
I love my Muscovy ducks. They are the best. I enjoy taking photos of them also. Apple is the Muscovy that traveled the longest distance to get to me. She came to me as a fertile egg all the way from New York that I placed in the incubator and she hatched out. Muscovy are excellent at pest control. They love to eat flies and other creepy crawly bugs.
This is Apple just after a swim session as she was flapping her wings dry.
This is Sky with her ducklings plus a duckling and a gosling she adopted. They are growing up so fast. They are now just over a month old and I need to get some new photos of them. The gosling is now much bigger than Sky but she is still taking care of it just like it was one of her own.
Beauty was one of my faves. I miss her. She passed away of old age. She was an old hen when I got her but she did raise one family before I lost her. I have her 2 daughters to remember her by.
Here is another of Apple.
And by now you are probably thinking enough! I love my Scovies. Maybe I will take some more photos of them later today but now I have to go get ready for the Farmer's market tonight.

Collage Art
I've uploaded some of my collage artworks to Zazzle here recently. I want to make some more collages soon. My scanner is not working so I am having to photograph them.
Here is one I made last year but just now photographed.
And one I made today and photographed while the glue was still wet and before a layer of sealer was applied.
And some others...
I sold the actual framed artwork a couple weeks ago at the Farmer's Market but here it is as a greeting card.

Best Friends
My Aceo/Business Card was awarded a Today's Best Award on Zazzle this past weekend. Woot! I have been having some issues getting things to upload on Zazzle. But I'm going to keep trying. I am also going to start creating things for my Redbubble and Greeting Card Universe stores again. I haven't added many new things to those sites recently but I will add new things to both places this week.
