NeatoStuff Feature: Paintingsbyjude

Playing in iTunes: "Mother and Child Reunion" by Paul Simon

In case you haven't heard, Neatostuff is hosting a really fun promotional tool. Everyone features everyone elses Etsy account for a day (but only if you signed up). Today....EVERYONE is featuring Paintingsbyjude , and let me tell you...it is a frickin' awesome feature. Her work is so vibrant and colorful. I can picture it on any wall. Especially my yellow one in the living room. Her Siamese cats will be ANY cat lovers joy to have (especially if you are allergic...no dander!). I swear!!! I am not exaggerating or just writing this because it is my duty.....these really are fabulous!!

Speaking of Fabulousness....take a look at her prices. EVEN MORE FABULOUS!!! That should be her name. Fabulousnessbyjude. Really...it should. That is all she sells. Fabulousness....

Oh for Godsake....(I just flipped over and looked at her shop again)....the cuteness is just painful!!! I think I may actually be reaching for my credit card right now...or maybe tomorrow, when I forget that I have already reached my Etsy quota for the month. (I know it's early...but the hypnosis CD will be worth it!!!! I know it will!!!)

WHERE IS MY MIND!!???

Playing on iTunes: "Where is my mind?" by The Pixies

Oh my goodness I am busy today. I am trying to get everything uploaded onto Etsy to beef up my store...make it look full, you know? A few people on the forums have said that they didn't even sell anything until their product count reached 100. I am going to try anything! Besides, I was going to upload this work anyways. That being said, be sure to check out what I have going on! I am uploading everything from services to ACEOs to Gallery Wraps. Something for everyone. :) Next week.....CHRISTMAS!

Cute, cute, art

Playing on iTunes: "Spin Spin Sugar" by the Sneakerpimps

I love art. If I didn't love art I wouldn't be on Etsy, now would I? Let's be honest. Some of the art on Etsy is not what I would hang on my walls.....and some of it is just fabulous!!! Today, I would like to feature some fabulous.......if you don't mind of course.

Thedreamygiraffe's work is FABULOUS!!! It's colorful, cute, and....well....dreamy. Her big-eyed characters make you want to jump headfirst into their world. (I am a particular fan of her bookworm prints!!) There is a character for every person and even a wonderful backstory to accompany them...which makes buying her work even better!! Be sure to check out her "misfits" series. Trust me....they will fit just about anywhere on blank wall space.

A little secret....

Playing on iTunes: "Funny Face" by The Muffs

So, I had some comments in my last post on my current background. Cute huh? I thought so and so got to thinking...perhaps I should share the cuteness! So here's the secret. Look up in the left hand corner of you screen. Go on ahead. I'll wait.....

See it? See the little button that says "Free Backgrounds and More @ TheCutestBlogOnTheBlock.com"? Well, it's there. If you don't see it, then click the phrase I just typed out. These gals are fa-bu-lous!!! And the backgrounds are free!! And there are hundreds to choose from! And I think I am going to hyperventilate from all of the excitement!!

I use blogger, so I know their pages work with that site. I am not sure about the rest, though. You might wanna play around to see.

Now go, my friends!! And beautify your little corner of the inter-web!!

New Project

Playing on iTunes: "Time is Running Out" by Muse

So, I am on vacation right now, which is making it very hard to produce new work and post it to Etsy. Primarily because I have no models to work with. So, I went out and bought some! :) A friend and I found this fabulous store in LA called Wacko. They specialize in fun toys more for the robot sect.....so I bought $50 dollars worth. (Hangs head in shame.) I love toys. I am in Santa Barbara for the next week, and each of my toys is going to have a fabulous photo shoot.

You will, hopefully, be seeing them posted to my shop very soon. In the meantime, I hope your art is moving fabulously along!! And I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween!!

cbtscloset Feature!

Playing in iTunes: "Brand New Key" by The Dollyrots

Ahhhh...time for the first post. Let the fun begin! I will start with a bang and jump straight into features. Just so you know in advance, the best way to get featured on my blog is post creative stuff to your Etsy store and...of course...friend me so I know you exist. :)

Without furthur ado....I present cbtscloset. I love this shop, primarily because she takes me back to my childhood. The colors, patters, and choice of subjects in her pendants are fabulous!!! CAN YOU SAY NEON!! And no...neon did NOT go out with 80's. It just needs to be done right. Spandex need not apply.

Plus, they do laser cutting!! Do you remember when you were a kid and you could get the laser cut design written in your name on a glass heart and pasted on a woodcut? No? Maybe that was just me. Texas is a weird state. Well, these guys do it better anyways...and are definitely more in the average buyer's price range.

It just so happens, according to her etsy profile, to be her birthday today!! So head on over and check out her shop! I am sure a great birthday present would be a purchase from you!

Until tomorrow!

Welcome to my world...errr....and yours!

Playing on iTunes: "Blue Eyes" by Cary Brothers

So, I vote we get the quick, awkward introduction out of the way first. Quick and easy...like ripping off a band-aid. Take a deep breath. You never have to read this again....

Ready?

GO!

My name is Terra. I'm a photographer who lives in Washington, DC. I love animals...and don't like you very much if you don't. (You read that right). I have two shops on Etsy, here and here, (although one will not be open for another two weeks or so...so no link). I started this blog to feature other Etsians and to have a place to get the blob of thought out of my head. I am a writer, in addition to a photographer...hence the blog. :)

*sigh* Finished. Done. Much better. I can relax.

NOW YOUR TURN!!

GO!
