Crafty Pets

Sunday, March 29, 2009

I am spending most of my blogging time on my biz site now, but thought I'd drop by before to do a little cross-posting. I just finished designing a sample coffee table book for my photog biz, and wanted to share a few key pages.

I know you've seen these before here, but not in published form, right? Favorite crafty pets from our favorite crafty bloggers!

Grumperina's Kitty:

Maritza's Malachi (her cat LG is also in the book):

And of course, Bunny and Veebs:

Saved the best for last

I love the way the book came out, and loved best of all the thrilling experience of flipping through your own coffee table book.

There is however one more print vendor I want to try. I hear their finished book product is a tad better, for about the same printing price. In the end, these books are not going to be cheap. It's all in the labor: all the time sorting through each photo, processing them, determining page layout, deciding which photo gets which layout, DOING the layout. It doesn't get much more custom than this. But if I can give potential clients a little more bang for their many buck, everyone wins.

Alas. I have no knitting to show :-( But if anyone out there is still interested in Sundara Yarn prints like the ones shown here, THEY ARE COMING. I have just come out of the R&D haze. Blergh. I wanted to offer postcards but have changed my mind. The papers used for items such as cards simply did no justice to the yarn color. I wouldn't feel comfortable charging what I would have to charge, so I'm abandoning that idea for now and just sticking with prints. Beautiful, vibrant, matte prints. 5x7s will be available soon. It's been a matter of packaging them right, and finding the time! Always a battle with the time!

Still working through your Q&As from last month! I haven't forgotten about them
