Another quick post before I sign off for the weekend. Katie From Art Wall Online has done a very nice interview with me! Although (believe it or not, as you will) I really don’t like talking about myself, answering questions and trying to explain my process I learn new things about myself – who knew?

Anyway, if you have a minute or two, please do go check it out…what I love most is that she is predicting that 2010 is going to be the Year of the Art Quilt – for ME! Yay! Thanks Katie!

Have you seen Art Wall Online yet? It’s a curated online art gallery, the brain child of Katie Stephenson.  It was created to exhibit the artwork of independent artists. The pieces are showcased in the form of an “Art Wall” — an arrangement of artwork placed on a virtual wall. The walls are themselves pieces of art created by Jessica Gonacha, modeled after a particular room in Katie’s house. The art in each frame comes from a different artist, and is a link to the artists online shop. The featured art is affordable, and either from a series of art or a print.

The site actually launched the day my site did, last November 9, and in the midst of the haze of that day, I remember seeing a tweet that sent me there and it was love at first sight! I immediately sent her an email asking her if my work was a good fit, thinking of my newest series, the Botanical Sketches and the  Branch & Birds.When it launched in November, 3 rooms were live, and she added another room in December and now in January, the dining room is live. Can you spot my pieces? Because my pieces are so small, she actually including 2 different series! Woohoo! Thanks so much Katie!

For the record – I am so AMAZED that it’s been under 2 months since my website launched – I feel like I’ve lived a year in those 2 months!

My new business cards are in – and I LOVE them! PSPrint is the company I used this time. They are

• Pretty inexpensive ($38 for 250 with full color both sides including shipping) with no download fees
• I chose the slowest shipping option, they upgraded me to a faster one
• PSPrint often has sales (one of the reasons they were so cheap),
• Closely compare to MOO quality, (not QUITE as thick) but the price made the difference for me (I do like that you can have lots of different photos on the back of MOO cards, but the cost really was much higher)

Here’s a quick photo:

The file’s I sent them are pictured here

Thanks again to all the folks who chimed in with their 2 cents – I really love these, and you all helped!
