New Items



After having difficulties uploading images for the past two weeks I was able to get several images uploaded yesterday so I have a lot of new items in my Zazzle store now. Here I will show just a few of the new items.

I just realized I better get busy making Halloween items as I have recently started selling this card in the past few days. I don't have that many Halloween designs available so I need to get some more designed.



I also have it over at Zazzle in a couple of different styles all shot on the same day. They were some of my Muscovy ducklings last fall that are now grown up and raising ducklings of their own. Muscovies are the best ducks. They are great egg layers and excellent at eating insects around the farm.

New Cards

There are 27 new cards at my Greeting Card Store. I have even more waiting to be approved. It's at 103 cards waiting to be approved at the moment so there will be several new cards in the store as soon as they are approved. I am still going to add more. I am in the mood to create today so whatever else I create today will be uploaded for approval there also. Here are some of the newest ones.

New at my DeviantArt Gallery


Rural Iowa Barn by ~angelandspot on deviantART

I uploaded some new works to my DA gallery this morning. I am currently doing a rural barns, silos, corn cribs, farm buildings series. I'm not sure how many photos will be in this series but it will be continued on a regular basis as I take more photos of rural Iowa life. If you live in Iowa you might recognize some of the barns, corn cribs, silos, ect. that I am photographing.

Ghost in the Window


Uneditied version straight out of the camera above



I got one of the images I have been trying to upload at Zazzle to finally upload today :) Now if I can just get the rest of them to upload without getting the image has failed to upload error. I took this photo Sunday night. I went for a drive and came across this abandoned house. It was getting too dark to take photos so I'll have to go back in the daylight sometime and take some more photos. I have added a grunge texture to this and ran a gimp script called dawn morning on it to lighten the photo since it was so dark. The ghost is not digitally added. It's up to you to decide if it is a ghost, a child's toy left behind, or a light reflection on the window. I think it would make the perfect Halloween card.

I'm going to upload here the unedited version also so you can see that I did not add the ghost into the photo when I did the editing.

Barns


I love to photograph barns. I've just uploaded several new barn photos to my Redbubble gallery and will be adding even more soon as I was out last evening taking some photos of barns. I'll be out sometime later taking even more photos of barns. I also hope to find some abandoned houses to photograph but I will only be photographing things from the public street/gravel roads so that I will not be trespassing. You can see all the barn photos in my Redbubble gallery.


I hope to also upload the images to my Zazzle store soon. Right now they are currently updating the site and making some changes so I am unable to upload anything at the moment.

Digital Artwork

I thought I would share some of my digital artworks today. It is so fun to create. I love to create with both vintage elements and also with my own photography. I call my art eclectic because I just do whatever I feel like doing on a given day so I have so many varied subjects, styles, ect. to my artwork.

Rockin' with the Rhythm of the Rain



It's raining again. Time to sit down and create some more digital artwork :) Tomorrow I have another swap meet. I'll be uploading my newest artworks to the stores sometime next week.

Vintage Birds

Whew! It sure was humid yesterday. Let's cool off with this vintage winter bird sticker.



I think this one would look amazing as the stamp you use on your Christmas cards this year.



Send someone a beautiful birthday card



A postcard I created using various vintage elements.



And a pretty vintage Robin mousepad.

Grunge Horses

Here are some of my grunge horse designs and some other grunge horse designs I found on Zazzle. I think they are a great gift idea for a horse loving person.

Okay, so this one is not a horse but a unicorn instead. I think it would make a perfect back to school gift.




Well, I'm off to the Farmer's Market. See ya tomorrow!

I Don't Give A...



I did manage to get an image uploaded today and create something. I was going to create more today but all the other images I have been trying to upload have been giving me the "image has failed to upload" error message again today. I have a lot of my own photography and digital artworks ready to upload. This tee was created with a public domain clipart image. I hope they get that bug fixed soon because I really want to add more of my digital artworks and photography to my store. Anyways... Funny tee anyone?

The New Couple

Old English Bantam Rooster card

I went to a swap meet this past weekend and somehow ended up bringing a pair of chickens home when I wasn't going to bring anything that was a live animal home with me. I'd only planned to sell some of my antiques and artwork and bring home some new books to read. Well, oops... I brought home some live animals along with those new books to read. My bantam flock was shrinking in size due to some of them dying of old age and I was left with no roosters for Annie, Much, and the other 2 no name Old English Game Bantam chickens I have. Now I have this new little rooster and a hen in his color also.



This little hen came home and laid an egg the same day. She is so friendly and is always following me around when I am down in the barn. I think I might end up naming her Friendly.

I have another swap meet on Sat. but animals are not allowed there so I won't even be tempted to bring any animals home unless they are antique glass chickens. LOL Yep, I collect chicken figurines also. Hopefully I will get some more stuff sold and maybe I will find some bargains also. I'll be on the lookout for cheap books I can read and then resale and things I can use as art supplies in my mixed media artwork or possible cheap photography props to use in my photography. Well, I better get busy and get some things done now. See ya sometime later!
