First, I just want to thank my customers and friends that made this year possible. I quit my day job one year ago to make my art full time. It's been a bit of a roller coaster, but I'm glad I made the leap. Being your own boss is the only way to go! In honor of you, those signing up for this RSS feed and all my regular customers, I'm offering free shipping to the US and Canada this week, 12/11/11- 12/17/11, on your order of any amount made from my website thejadedog.com. (Make the note "BLOGGER" in the comments to receive the offer.)
This year I've added two galleries to the list of venues where my work can be seen. In Chicago, Illinois, Curly Tale Fine Art, 16 West Erie Street Floor #1. And in Dubuque, Iowa, Outside the Lines Art Gallery, 409 Bluff Street.
One of my paper pendants was worn on by Lizz Winstead of The Daily Show fame on The Ed Show on MSNBC, December 9th, 2011. You can see a clip of the show here.
The one she wore on the show was created to support Planned Parenthood. I recycle the information sheets in BCP packs. 25% of the $ goes to support PP. I'm also creating a line supporting The Humane Society of the United States (made recycling The Human Society's "All Animals" bimonthly publication) with 25% of the $ going to that organization. I also have comets and stars made from recycled junk mail and maps.
I urge you to sign up for the RSS feed to receive an e.mail letting you know I've published an updated newsletter. I won't flood your e.mail with news. This newsletter is for big announcements, like class schedules and art fair dates, and the occasional sale.
If you'd like to see what I'm working on, see specials and sales that occur daily, check out my Facebook business page. ***You do NOT have to be a Facebook user to view business pages!***
Have a great holiday, and a very happy New Year!
:) D
