Holidays are coming...

...and that means a few craft shows and/or bazaars for Green Mum.... Just a peek at a few things I did tonight. :)

Thinking about ordering a Portrait Tote?

Here's the process:

1. Choose a bag size- either 16"x 15.5" x5" for $18 or 19"X15.5"X5" for $25

2. Email me a picture to greenmumtotes@gmail.com.

Please note: The picture needs to be at least 300dpi. Make sure the person's or animal's face is clear and that the facial expression they are making in the photo is what you want represented on the bag.

3. Due to the custom nature of these bags, I do require 50% deposit before beginning the project. This may be paid via PayPal to the email address listed above.

4. Give me about 10 days to get it done and shipped out to you.


Some final thoughts:
* There is no extra charge to add the name or for additional pics (up to 3 faces). I would not reccommend more than 4 faces on any bag.
* They will ALL be done in one solid color. Black is best, but any color is ok.
* They will all be sillouette in nature. ;)

dish towels

I have gotten a few orders for some of my dish towels... here's a peek. :)

My first animal portrait....

How fun! I got a custom request to paint an owner's dogs on a tote bag. I have never tried to paint "real" animals before. I had so much fun!!!!!
Here's a peek...

Hard at word or hardly working?

I really enjoy my crafty stuff. I was busy this weekend, and I have more to do. I have to take a break in my day for Dexter. I will back to painting as soon as it's over, though.

2 more things to say... Go here, check me out, and PLEASE vote me "Best in Show!" I think I win something cool. :)

NC Conservation Network Holiday Auction

We are pleased to be able to donate to this organization. Although, the tote seems small in comparison to other items up for bid.... Every little bit helps, right?

...and more work!

I am so excited to have work to do. Here are 3 more recents bags. :)

Just some more bags....

I have so, so many more to work on. I am heading to the beach this weeknd, and I think I am going to bring everything with me to catch up! Here are just a few more that I've done. All gifts... ;)

A test post... or an excuse to ramble

I have tried to link my blogging to my face book fan page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Greensboro-NC/green-mum/113961479481?ref=nf), so this is just a quick test.

A few things are going on for green mum right now:
1. Today, potentially a thousand or more people with see an ad for us in a program for Baby! Baby! That is amazing and frightening at the same time.
2. The contest submissions are all wonderful, so the pressure to create amazing graphics for them is on!
3. Orders! Orders! Orders!

Last thoughts... thank you for all of your support and encouragement. It's a great feeling!

Good day and good week!

Until next time.
