Magical

Now, I don't really know how to reference photos from Google images, so forgive me if I've 'stolen' someone's art to use this picture. But I couldn't resist it's beauty. Can you?

The Shop is Open!!

Announcing...

So busy at work!

It feels like AGES since I posted, but it has been really busy back at work after the school hols.

Also, we have a new computer *Yay!!* and I have been trying to work that out (which is tricky since the other one was NINE YEARS OLD and had archaic programmes. )

Also, I am busily trying to organise myself for the launch of my Whimsical Works etsy shop on Saturday. My next post will be the official ad for the launch. You can use the ad on your own blogs and websites to help me promote the shop. But, keep in mind, it actually takes awhile to make the card sets, so I can only sell what I have, and right now there are only 4 complete sets of cards. As I want to create card sets for other classic stories there will ONLY be 4 sets of cards for Alice in Wonderland, so, grab one quick if you want one!

If all goes well, I might be able to introduce new items to the shop every Saturday.
Ha! We'll see how that pans out!

The Launch of Whimsical Works, and The Lion

You might be wondering when and where I'm going to sell my cards. On Saturday, the 1st August, I am going to launch my etsy shop called Whimsical Works!!!!!! I will definitely be selling 4 Limited Edition Alice in Wonderland greeting card sets, and possibly the Alice in Wonderland character prints will be available too (remember those, from ages ago?) The Wizard of Oz card sets will be released soon after, along with the Wizard of Oz character prints (that I am currently working on). Hopefully, each month after that I will be able to release a new card set and character prints, but it just depends on finding the time to do it! Now that I'm on a roll, and have found my suppliers, it should be easier to get things together.

If you could help me out a little, I would love for my followers, regular readers and occasional readers, to promote the launch of Whimsical Works on their blog closer to the date. I'll post a photo that you can use on your blog, and if you could just do a little blurb for me that would be great! And leave a comment on my blog when you can - I get so excited when people leave comments and I always look at people's blogs when they leave a comment. Also, adding me to your blog roll would be awesome! I always look at other people's blog rolls to find new blogs.

Anyway, enough of the shameless plugs... the next character in my Wizard of Oz series is the Lion,

and here are the cards that reflect his colours, texture, fur and mane.

Coincidentally, my Dad is showing The Wizard of Oz at the Cygnet Cinema in a few weeks. If you are in Perth and live near Como you could always pop in to see the movie. You might even meet my Dad!

The Scarecrow

The next group of Wizard of Oz cards are for the scarecrow.




Think farms and fields, green and brown clothes, plants, fruits, country, checks, spots. They were my inspiration!

Glinda the Good Witch

It is a magical moment in the Wizard of Oz when Glinda, the Good Witch, arrives in a bubble to welcome Dorothy to Munchkinland.

These Wizard of Oz cards represent Glinda as they are pink, pretty and sparkly!

By the way, if you get the chance, read the book Wicked. It is about the lives of the witches of Oz before Dorothy came onto the scene. I haven't seen it myself, but I hear that the stage production is amazing too.
