Storybooking with Kids!

I had the honor of spending this morning with a delightful group of 6th graders at a local elementary school!  They were bright and curious and wonderful to work with!

They are each making a 7×5 storybook of a topic of their choice.  Some are doing family history books, some a book about their dog.  One girl is including the poetry she wrote.

The thing I love about kids is that they are fearless!  They click with no reservations!  There’s nothing that can be hurt by moving things around or trying something, and they just go for it.

I’m so excited to see what interesting things they include.  They each brought in photos, art, and documents for me to scan and upload into their accounts.  They were curious about how they could get photos off their phones or home computers to include – and understood my explanation of those procedures!

They oohed and aahed when I showed them some of the fun features our studio has – like swapping out different papers and layering elements.  I love the versatility and know they will push it to the limits  – just because they can!

We plan to meet every Thursday morning to work on their projects. I gave them each their own personal account so they can work on their project at home as well.  Once they have their books set up the way they like, their teacher and I will help them tweak their proofreading and layout skills as well.  I plan to post their finished products for all to enjoy!

Gotta love kids!

Wine Bottle Engraving

Wine Bottles are probably the most popular engraving I do!  This is the perfect gift for your boss, friends, newlyweds, anniversaries, or retirements or for the perfect addition to that beautiful gift basket!  Personalized wine is perfect for corporate gift-giving too.

I engrave elegant Copperplate Calligraphy very deeply on the bottle or wine glass and then apply a beautiful gold or silver fill to make the lettering shine and complement the label on the bottle.  I can put as many words as you like, but a simple greeting with a name is usually best.  I can do orders as corporate gifts as well – incorporating the company’s logo with a name or message.

Add one my  little ceramic “wine lights” and you have a gift for them to enjoy long after the wine is gone!  This is the greatest gift idea since the wine itself – call me today!

My standard pricing for wine bottles is $18, but please ask about volume discounts!

More on Etsy

Here are a couple of new projects I posted on ETSY today.  Have you ever visited ETSY?  It’s an amazing marketplace of handmade and vintage goods – created by thousands of artists.  I started posting my creations there early this summer and haven’t had any sales yet, but the key to Etsy is to update daily!  Whew – it gets to take a lot of time, but I am told it is worth it in the end.  I need to be part of their community and promote others in order to be promoted – kind of like life.  The more we give, the more we get.

Anyway – here are my latest posts along with links to my listings.  Enjoy!

“This Little Piggy is a piece of Altered Art. He started as a silver-plated piggy bank. I used paper mosaic to create his beautiful multi-colored coat and finished off his mask face with little faceted-bead piggy eyes. He needs a good home and some coins to fill his belly.”

Here is his link.

Next we have this beautiful Canvas of Kylie.  It is called “Sweetness”.  This photo is so sweet I could almost eat it!

“This is a beautiful canvas designed to convey “sweetness” – great for a child or love photo. Send me YOUR photo and I will create this amazing piece of art for you!

It was created in shades of white, off-white, peach, soft green, and tan. The word “sweetness” circles the photo, and below is this subtle lettering “Share a moment of sweetness”. The flowers are a soft peach with coral centers. Soft green leaves and “cardboard” hearts complete the frame below the photo.”

Here’s where you find “Sweetness”.

Last for today is Best Friend.  Okay, so I borrowed the dog pic from someone else – but wouldn’t this make a great tribute to your #1 Pal?

“This fun canvas honors the “Best Friend” in your life! Send me YOUR photo and I will create this amazing piece of art for you!

It was created with “paw print” background in brown and white and your pet’s photo featured front and center. The words “Best Friend” are brights in orange, green, blue and yellow.”

Press your little paw right here!

50th Anniversary Vase

Here is a beautiful Orrefors Crystal vase I hand engraved for a customer.  It was a gift for their parent’s 50th Anniversary yesterday.  They wanted the engraving to be plain – no gold or silver fill.  I think it turned out great.  Carving on nice crystal is like carving on butter!  I love to work with it.
