Peacock Tiles

I haven't gotten a card done for a few days because I've been working on making some digital files to put on Etsy. My latest tiles are these peacock ones I made from some of my peacock photos I took last year.

I also did a show over the weekend, but unfortunately, the economy is still bad, and nobody did much. It was fun seeing everyone again though. I used to sell between $500 and $700, last year, I sold a little over $300, and this year it was $126, and the cost of the table had to come out of that. I probably should feel good about it, a lot of the venders didn't get the money for their tables back this year.

There were a lot more people with tables than we've ever had, and a lot of people came, but this year they weren't walking around with shopping bags full of things like they used to.

I had other things besides cards, but almost everything I sold this year were my cards. It was the same way in the gift shop all summer, and in most of the other gift shops in town. People were only buying things they knew they would need, not gifts and Christmas decorations or other things that people cut back on. I hope the economy improves next year.

Tea Bag Folding Christmas Cards

Most of the cards I am posting were bad photos. I only have a few of them to post, and they weren't my best cards. This first image is what I call my Kaleidocards. They are made from old postcards I have that I scanned and turned into kaleidoscopes. I then applied them to cardstock and added teabag folding. After that, I glued dresden paper around the outside. I wish I had pictures of the really pretty ones, but I sold all of them.
