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.

Please contribute or attend the benefit.  There is also a 50/50 raffle and other auctions, and the benefit dinner.  See event for details.

Sara Easto's Benefit

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

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!

Inktoberfest

It's October, but for artists, we might know it as Inktober.  A 31 day art challenge where we strive to create new inked art every day for the entire month of October.

I'll be joining the challenge this year.  You can follow along on my Patreon, Facebook event or on Pinterest.  I've been preparing all week for this month long undertaking.  I have papers cut to size and an art journal being prepped for the arting to begin.  Here's a sneak peek onto my art table....

Papers cut to size, and an art journal being gesso'd for arting.

So many, many pens.  They've all been checked and ink is flowing!

Metallic and white gel pens for dark paper.

Let's do this!

Be sure to check out many great artists participating this year!  Facebook ---> #Inktober
