a card update

These are the newest cards that I have for sale in the shop! There are two different sets of cards. One is of 6 individual North American animals that I have painted in more detail and the second is a collection of simple tiny animals all on one card. The latter set is a set of 8 cards that are all the same. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out! They come packaged in a sturdy kraft cardboard box. Purchase them here and here.

a small update

Both of these wood slices are available in the shop. I know I haven't kept with my promise to update the shop in a week. But I will be updating in bits and pieces.

I don't know if this is of much interest to you, but I am selling my camera. It's the camera that I've used to take all my product pictures and all the pictures on my blog. It's treated me well for a long time, but I'm finally ready to get something smaller and more portable for traveling and events and such. I'm selling it in a large package of 2 lenses, 2 batteries, charger, computer cord, black leather camera bag, 3 lens filters, and many little extras such as cleaning supplies and the original manual. I'm asking $600 or best offer. If you're interested contact me at asmalladventure [at] gmail.com replacing the [at] with @ of course. And if you want to know more information I have a Craigslist ad here.

sf holiday renegade 2010

Here are a few pictures from my booth at the San Francisco Holiday Renegade Craft Fair from a couple weekends ago. Unfortunately, it was pretty dark in the Concourse Convention Center so most of the pictures didn't turn out so great. But here are a few to give you an idea of what my first whole booth looked like. I've only ever split a booth with someone else so it was kind of cool to try it out by myself. You can see my mom sitting behind one of the tables. Thanks so much for your help, Mom!!

wood slice paintings

I made these wood slice paintings the week before the SF Renegade fair not expecting anyone to buy them. I was pleasantly surprised that I sold 4 out of 5! Two of them I sold to my booth neighbors, Paul and Kat. They were such cool people and I hope I get to see them again. My favorite wood slice was the woolly mammoth which Kat purchased along with the raccoon for her boyfriend Paul as a surprise Christmas present. I was sad to see the woolly mammoth go, but I am so glad that it went to a good home. The only one that didn't sell was the gray squirrel which I will put up in the Etsy shop. Tomorrow I will try to update the shop with the new stuff. Check back!

merry christmas and happy new year!

This holiday greeting is quite belated and I apologize. I've been recovering from the Renegades and trying to get over a bad cold. However, my husband will be working all night long tonight and sleeping most of tomorrow so I'll have lots of time to try to post some pictures from the SF Renegade fair and update the Etsy shop. It might be a bit sad spending most of New Year's by myself, but I'm actually looking forward to working on stuff and getting back into the groove I was in while working on illustrations and crafts for the fairs. So please check back soon to see some new things. And most importantly...Have a Happy New Year!!

renegade craft fair los angeles holiday 2010

These are some photos from the Holiday Renegade in LA from this past weekend. It went pretty well besides it being pretty hot outside! I didn't get a chance to walk around very much, but hopefully at the San Francisco Fair this upcoming weekend I'll get to take pictures of other booths and put them up here. Thanks to Erin Dollar for letting me share a booth with her and Malachi and my parents for helping me with customers in the tiring heat.
