Handmade Promotional Tags: Marketing
July 30, 2009
This week I finally started cleaning out my craft closet…a task I’ve been putting off for a while. The great thing about cleaning is finding things that were lost or um…filed away in their proper places. I found an entire box of flying fox stickers…and since I’ve been thinking a lot about changing my brand name I figure I’d best get to using these up…I think it may take some time though, there are, like, a few hundred. So here are a few promotional tags I made by affixing the stickers to (recycled) cardboard, then distressing the edges with scrapbooking scissors.
Embroidered Notes
July 17, 2009
I make more plans for myself than I can possibly execute. I wonder: why so many notes? I’ve got books and books of them…or is this just the process some people go through, only actually working on some of the projects – the ones that call out to a person when they least expect it? It’s the overlap between the notes, writing and art/ embroidery that I’ve chosen to focus on lately.
