The Groovy Fish Tank-Small




Details about this strappy tank are within the link of the title of this posting, I also created some flat cards with the same ink on saffron colored heavy cardstock. They look fantastic, I can't wait to list those too!

Funky Fishies on Brown

I have been dreaming of this little fishy for weeks! You may see the details about this shirt using the link within the title of the posting. I used a recycled (perfect shape) Old Navy brown tee and pewter ink for the fishies....I so heart this shirt, but it is just too tiny for me!

Nice Rack Distressed Lion Print


Did I step too far? I think this is just a hoot. I can't help that I have this odd sense of humor.

Not feeling like your 'ole self? Wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Feeling confused or off? This guy can relate!

Fresh doggie Illustration!

I'm illustrating a book for a journalist in SF, Ca. She's amazing to work with and I can't wait to see the finished product. (as I'm sure she's feeling right now because she's waiting on ME!) YIKES. I won't disclose much about the book here and right now, but it has been a blast. This was just a quick scan~ ah yeah it's a little early for brandy. I don't think he minds though!

I love Canvas!

I want to print all my images on it. It's so beautiful! I swear that it's indestructible too! I am beginning to list many of my prints on canvas it is so lovely and seems to add another dimension to my images. (odd and funky as they are)

What These Windeers Captured Print




How many figures passed these windows? How many sunny days and stormy nights have been watched through them? For moments they held the view of many and the window themselves became a frame for who may have passed in front of them. I'd like an album of the images captured by these windows during their first year and the last year when people lived in this home.

My technique uses a fair amount of design work, in my opinion...I guess some may disagree!

A Molting Progression


Beautiful walls that listened to the joys and sorrows of many families that came and went year after year.

Perhaps the walls are heavy with conversation, I mean how much can a wall hold? (What a relief if those walls could speak)
Beautiful walls that listened to the joys and sorrows of many families that came and went year after year.

Perhaps the walls are heavy with conversation, I mean how much can a wall hold? (What a relief if those walls could speak)

I see this as A Molting Progression of wall papers and paints, a door beyond a door, conversations no longer held but peeling at the weight of it all. Learn more about this print by clicking the title above.

Sending Promo? Do it Better!

I'm so glad to be a part of Natasha's Leads. My mailing list is outstanding and I'm gaining a stronger customer base because of it. I purchased my contacts from Natasha, and they couldn't be better. I have never had one returned e-mail when I've sent out my e-newsletters! Not one! I know it's common but I have used these for months and I must say they are as good as gold. Which brings me to the second benefit of joining this affiliate. I'm gaining cash from sharing this link on my site as well as sharing it with others that have any product to sell or business, home or otherwise. At this point it might not be a ton, but it is true cash of the spendable kind and I have done little and still earned it. I can't be more honest than that. So check it out if you have a product you are selling or need to promote yourself give this a try in a few months, I have noticed a big difference in my sales and views to my products.

Readers can learn much more about Marie, or Sleepy Sun:

www.MariPriscillaHanson.com

Mari has been so busy with her promotion work that it was a little difficult to get much out of her! However, I was able to get a little out of her.
Mari you tell me something about your writing habits?


I tend to write by hand and put it in the computer later! I have FILES of children's stories, novels and movie scripts. I tend to bounce around between them... I work on one for a while, or research an idea, and then move back to a different project. I don't know how effective that is, but suits my creative nature. I use my imagination for the fun of it!

I just want to say thank you to Mari for sharing a bit about her project and new book with us and wish her the best. If anyone has questions or are interested in the book please check out her site above and please request Sleepy Sun from your library and favorite books stores too!
