Now Open for Business!

I finally got around to posting something (anything!) for sale in my Etsy shop, The Blue Forest Shoppe. Yay! So far, I only have a few of my handmade wirebound blank books. I make most of them out of found items or postcards from my extensive collection of postcards and other paper goods. For example, the Pineapple Express journal is made from a postcard I picked up at SDCC last month. Most of these would be thrown away, I hope I've saved a few from that sad fate. :P The TTT one to the left was made from a tent card ad. Even the backings were cut from saved bits of chipboard packaging. So, I get to combine two things I love...geekery and conservation. Woohoo! I will try to upcycle, recycle, reuse, etc. anything I can, so don't be surprised if I've turned a used box inside out. ;)

I've also created a few postcards which I am planning to offer soon. (Have I mentioned how much I love postcards???) One card is made from a photo I took of an actor, and the rest are (so far) mostly based on my papercuts. My favorite is based on the cover of a book by Dr. Seuss. They will most likely be offered in sets of 5 or 10, with envelopes or without.

I am trying to keep the costs reasonable, but competitive, and I might be able to take special orders. Since I am currently on break from work, I can afford the time to be crafty, but normally my labor is just too expensive! Hahaha...
