Finally, I’ve gotten around to printing my own business cards. Just wanted to show them off because I’m loving them — never underestimate the difference the way you visually represent your business can make.

Engler Glass
I’m loving these glass “splash” bowls from Dylan & Amy Engler. I love the variety of colors and the way each one has its own unique variations. They’re perfect as an interesting serving vessel, a place to set your keys when you get home or just a gorgeous piece of art!
Books & Brew
This weekend I delivered the last of the order for Books & Brew. Located in the Old Junction Mill in Milton, WI, Books & Brew is a cozy little coffee shop that holds regular events like book clubs, signings and live music. Thanksgiving weekend, they’ll be hosting me at a ‘Meet the Artist’ afternoon. If you’re out shopping in south-central Wisconsin, stop in and say ‘hi!’
Neile
Neile is a jewelry design studio that employs the wings of naturally-deceased butterflies to create stunning rings and necklaces. (That show-stopper above? That’s a ring!) The wings are encased between panes of glass and surrounded by artfully placed silver solder. I love the way the natural iridescence of the wings is preserved — the perfect way for these transient insects to live on.
Total Bust
This weekend was a total bust. Yesterday, I had grand plans to drive all over the state to buy several cases of wood type and visit my sister and a couple of friends from college, but the only thing that worked out in my whole scheme was lunch with my sister. And she was hungover, which was funny, but I think so was our waitress, which was not. Five hours of driving later, we returned home with full bellies and empty hands.
In better news, I finished up the last bits of Iconi’s order (above) and met with the owner of a coffee shop in my hometown of Milton, WI. She’s going to carry a selection of my holiday cards and host a ‘Meet the Artist’ afternoon November 29.
I also got some printing done: I’m currently working on my first stationery collection of the first year (hoping to have everything printed by December so I can start on PR!) and trying to print all of my vintage cuts so I have samples (a few are below — I love that owl!).
