Rather productive day. Made blueberry bread and mini banana breads for tomorrow’s Early Birders<\/a>. Bathed. Fiddled some sketch images, put ’em on RedBubble<\/a> and Goblin Dreams at Zazzle<\/a>. Cleaned the car with Mo. Did scads of dishes. Fussed at kids for watching too much anything. Vacuumed a tiny bit inside. Might have a potential art collaboration\u2014a new thing for me!<\/p>\n

Idle thoughts: many online “shops” means more exposure, more hope, more work to deal with. So making limited sets of stuff in the new ones. RedBubble has loveliest interface, simple, not too clunky, fewest products (so easier to make images for). Cafepress lets you tweak for-sale products (price and image changes) but you can’t position an image on the thing there\u2014have to do it in the image before uploadign. Zazzle lets you position things when you’re putting the image on a product, but you can’t edit it once posted. Cafepress lets you make your store look like how you want it. So everyone’s different, each has pluses\/minuses. Not sure which works best for me yet, if indeed the answer is only one (might not be).<\/p>\n

Daydreaming of next Sketchfest<\/a> already.<\/p>\n

Now: I’m going dancing. !!!<\/p>\n

The rest of them if I recall correctly… might be forgetting something, somewhere…
