Besides painting, designing, and packing orders lately, I also fashioned a new press-kit-ish thing for the Black Apple (and me, of course).
These tiny, sweet wooden boxes are easy to paint, and feature a "picture frame" window, perfect for popping in a mini-print. Add to that a stack of glossy postcard images of my work (bound up with peppermint string), a business card or two, and a couple of other things of interest, and I think it's a nice little box that I would very much like to receive, and I hope other folks will too.
Happy Weekend, loves!

um... i want a box like that! :) any chance the boxes will make an appearance? Or maybe mini prints? Especially of that lovely squirrel girl or tear papa, which is my favorite.

Super cute, Queen Apple.
Hey, I sent you a friend request on MySpace, and decided to say something about it here because I didn't want to seem like just some random person... but then I thought about it a while and realized I am just some random person.

These boxes are adorable! I know I would welcome one, so I'm sure they'll bring you a lot of delighted business.
On the subject of privacy on the old internette - re mailing labels a bit earlier - maybe you should smudge your phone # as well?
