Font Recommendation

 I just bought this fantastic bundle on CreativeMarket, I'd had my eye on it for a while and had to snatch it up while it is on sale.  It features "Berson Dream" which is the font that Zindee uses for several designs.  I'd like to be able to match the style, so have had that on my wishlist forever.  It's available by itself for about $13 everywhere.  So, this bundle for only $19 is a great deal.  Just thought I'd share.  Hopefully you can snag it before the sale ends.  Or add to your faves to save for later.

Benefit for Sara Easto

Sara Milanowski Easto's Woodstock Benefit

Celebrate the life of Sara

I'll be donating some works for the auction to benefit Sara Easto, a friend of Kevin's since high school.  I don't have a lot in the way of money to offer, but I do have a lot in the way of art.  I've selected a variety of pieces.  I do not know if they plan to sell individually or as a collection.

If anyone is interested in buying, please attend the fundraiser held on Leap Day this year.  The attire is hippie, so wear some bell bottoms, tie dye and love!  I won't be in attendance, as much as I'd love to be.  Kevin's friend Terry will be performing.

My items are a selection of art prints and originals and a layered vinyl decal design.

Miscellaneous Juxtaposition contribution

Look for my art and designs.  I do not know if they will be available as a collection or separated individually or part of other baskets.

Ripple Sketches Artist Trading Cards, Set of 3/6.

These were previously designed for an oil spill fundraiser several years ago.  The fundraiser has since closed.  They are packaged to be sold together as a set.  It was originally a set of 6, sold at $10 each.  Only 3 sold for the fundraiser.  These art Artist Trading Cards sized 2 ½" x 3½" on canvas paper with mixed media.

Star Stuff Artist Trading Cards, set of 4.

These are mixed media, trying a fun technique on printed cardstock from DCWV.

Das Faerie Gotik, Deathly Hallows & She is Made of Stars, ATC prints.

These are mostly limited edition prints in various styles and print finishes.  They were all printed via iprintfromhome.com  I do not sell my fan art, the Harry Potter digital painting is only available as an ATC sized print and only given away.

Dragon Cat 3 Layer Decal 3".

This item is not available for sale.  Designed for my line of acrylic keychains, this vinyl was cut as a test run.  It is not for sale separately.

Mark Montano: Cardboard Gingerbread House Ornaments

I recently came across this great blog by Mark Montano to make our ornaments this year.  I had been looking for ideas, and this was perfect.

Mark Montano: Cardboard Gingerbread House Ornaments: Two weeks before Thanksgiving I decided to give up sugar so that during the holidays I could splurge a few times without guilt.  It's b...

I adapted this to be a cut file so I could make several at once and on chipboard for the boys to paint with me.  Assembly was pretty easy.  Just a bit of hot glue.  Other materials we used: craft paint, tacky/craftbond glue, ribbon, and I attempted to make a dimensional 'paint' with DAS air-dry clay, but used too much water.



I've uploaded it to Gumroad to download for free or pay-what-you-want.  The cut file is either an SVG or 2 JPGs to cut in the program of your choice.

The Gemini Gypsy Parlor - Murder of Crows Tarot Wrap

So excited to find one of my Spoonflower fabric patterns in use.  This design has been purchased a number of times by the Etsy Distribution of Spoonflower, so I was curious to see what was being made.  I found a review by The Gemini Gypsy Parlor by Char and found these amazing wraps and zipper bags in her store.  So pleased to see my artwork used in such a beautiful way.  Her shop is full of gorgeous prints, and she said she will be restocking my design.

Follow her on Etsy and Instagram, and please, let her know if you would like to buy a zipper makeup pouch or a tarot deck wrap in my design!

"Skull Terrarium" SVG by Gillian Ivy

SVG design for the Zindee keychain blank "Diamond Stone" (affiliate link).  This is a free download, but you can pay-what-you-want to support my art and designs.  I do plan to make more such freebies in the future.

This was created as a collaborative idea with Sarah Nelson on the Zindee Facebook group.  I am open to suggestions and requests.  All such suggestions may be shared or sold here or in my Etsy store.  Exclusive designs are by commission only and subject to my standard designing fees.  I do design custom acrylic shapes as well.  Send inquiry by private message on Facebook to Gillian Ivy.

Acrylic Keychain Order Form

I've made a quick Google Docs order form if anyone would like custom items before I make a listing on Etsy.  This has my current stock of acrylic blanks.  I'll be adding what color choices are available and what type of hardware.  After filling out the order form, you will be contacted by me to confirm your order and you will receive a PayPal invoice.

Current pricing:
2 color 3" key chain - $8.25
2 color 1.5" charm -  $4
Add monogram/name - $1
Add double sided design - $3 (key chain)/$1.5 (charm)

Custom shape requests subject to minimum qty orders.  Must inquire.

Journal Jewelry and Acrylic Keychains

Coming soon to GillianIvyArt on Etsy, I will be selling custom journal dangles and keychains featuring my designs.  First are my DragonCats and Gumdrop DragonKitty pieces which feature a 2 color combination of vinyl and option to add a monogram or name to the back.  I have a few other shapes which I have plans for Pride month and a scrying circle.  I'll post pictures of those when I can.

I'll be calculating my costs and pricing on these soon and will list them immediately.  Was hoping to have it ready for Shopping in Shelby, but looks like I might be missing the deadline.  I don't have my inventory finished in a displayable manner and nothing for a table at all.  I need to get myself in gear!  I need to make a portable inventory system, put everything in packaging, get a cash box, get display units for a table, a portable work station...  The list goes on.  And, a babysitter!  hahaha

Follow my behind the scenes @GillianIvyArt on Instagram!

For the planner community, there's a new shape available on my favorite acrylic blanks supplier, a Happy Planner!  I've resisted the urge to buy it right away, but if anyone is interested in taking orders, I'll be making custom ones with my designs on it.  Perhaps even with custom printed covers.  Send me a private message for inquiries.

For anyone who is a maker, too, and is interested in adding vinyl blanks to your repertoire,  Zindee now has a referral program.  You can sign up with my code and I'll earn a commission.  Check out the Happy Planner acrylic blank, it's too adorable!
