Bird Invasion at Henry Road

Here's a photo of the Mincing Mockingbird wall of birds currently at Henry Road in Studio City. They're going fast, but he's bringing in new ones all the time, along with magnets and note cards, so stop in for some birderific art.

Keen for Adventure

Another new magnet. I had previously done this as a gocco print, but thought it might look good as a magnet. It feels good to be creative again.

Shin splints are fun!


New magnet design inspired by my runner son.

Renegade on the West Coast!



Wow! Two weeks from this weekend is the first annual Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles!

And I'm no where ready for it. But I will be!

Mincing Mockingbird and I will have magnets, cards, prints, note cards, buttons, pill boxes, and original art. If there's anything I haven't mentioned that you'd like to see a bird painted on or vintage clip art plastered all over, let us know and maybe, just maybe, it will show up in our booth.

Come out and have some fun and see the amazing handmade crafts that are available in Los Angeles.

And if you're a bit farther north, there's the second annual Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco the following weekend. Or make a week of it and go to both!

Cards, Cards Everywhere!

Sorry about the delay, but I've been waiting to blog until I have photos, and I keep taking photos and then never seem to have the photos in the same location as my physical being when I want to blog. So here's the rundown: My front room/dining room has two 6-foot long tables that are covered with greeting cards. And any greeting cards not on the tables are filed in boxes stacked three high under them.

We've got the initial NSS orders out and have two to ship this week and the rest don't want shipment until August, September or October. We may have to buy one of those tool sheds just to store greeting cards.

On the up side, I was recently contacted by a major chain that is interested in carrying a few of my cards. I'll let you know when and where after they place the order. Which reminds me of my next order of business...updating my website (and Mincy's) to include all the stores we're now available in. Maybe that will be this weekend's project.
