After some fussing and fuming, the first Teeny Penny Positive Boxed Set sits in my Etsy shop.
I don’t know why this makes me nervous. Maybe because I love these itty bitty things (1 ½ inches by 2 inches) and have spent lots of time on them. But that doesn’t make sense. I spend lots of time on all my work. Maybe it’s more like sending your kid off to kindergarten.
Maybe it’s because my sister commented that my art has gotten smaller and more complicated over the years, which, she is sure, indicates a kind of pinched pathology. An interesting theory. Still, I love doing tiny things well, so that’s what I’ll keep doing. Whatever makes the soul sing, right?
I have three more sets in various stages of completion. That ought to keep the music flowing for a while.
(PS. This sold almost as soon as I hit “Post.” So Holy Crap, folks!)

Well Catherine, weren’t you the very lucky one!!!! 🙂

I knew I had to act quickly. 😉
Oct 21, 2019 @ 07:44:27
I also think your idea of adding a Sandy Su business card with every ‘bit of joy’ you share with someone, is BRILLIANT! Way to go…. 🙂

Thank you! We must hold one another up, amIright? 😀
Oct 24, 2019 @ 16:31:00

Await further offerings in this style of boxed set – :). Alas, what might be viewed as ‘pinched’ from one perspective, I rather took it upon myself to label, “World renowned Miniaturist in the Making” – so there ya go – 😀
I so admire your talent for putting things together – even more for doing it in ever smaller sizes — :D. Congrats on the near insta – sale – that should be enough to let ya know you’re onto something while you explore ideas and increase your skills set – :).

F*ckin’ A, Sister!
Oct 16, 2019 @ 12:10:11
LMAO!!! That…THAT Right There is why I do so love the ‘you’ that is shared and makes my life so much more lovely!!! Rock On – My F*ckin A Sister!

My little sister, the artiste.

Who woulda thunk it?
Oct 15, 2019 @ 04:59:19
Damn, Catherine beat me to the punch! Please let me know when the next box ‘goes live’ on Etsy, Sandy…I want it! And I love Catherine’s idea of including with holiday cards. You go girl!! 😘😘
Oct 16, 2019 @ 11:19:03
I’ll just save it for you, Lori. I can make it a special order and let you know.
Oct 16, 2019 @ 12:16:19
Terrific…thank you!!😘😘
Oct 16, 2019 @ 11:22:34
Also, since it takes me so long to make each Teeny, I’m thinking about putting fewer in a box. Maybe 40 instead of 50. They’d fit better, too. Hmmm…
Oct 18, 2019 @ 09:47:59
Sandy, do you think you could entice Lori to send me one – to me – as a gift of hers and you?! 😉 You see I’m not beneath begging. I wish you great success and please only ‘do’ them, create them, as long and when you feel like.
They are MAGIC – as we have told you umpteen times!
Oct 18, 2019 @ 15:24:58
Thank you, my friend.
Oct 19, 2019 @ 11:13:50
I would be happy to send you one, Kiki. Just need to get your address. If you forward to me at lori@writerloriferguson.com, I will hook you up…😊
Oct 21, 2019 @ 07:43:01
you’re a darling – wasn’t thinking that far, more – like (how I hate it when people say that nilly willy and there I go myself!!!!) – pushing Sandy Su a bit…. 😉
Check your inbox; I’ll be coming soon. And thank you in advance!
Oct 18, 2019 @ 09:46:02
Lori, Lori – aren’t you (another) lucky one…. She is SO blxxy amazing, our Sandy Sue!
Oct 19, 2019 @ 06:37:31
She *is*, Kiki! I have ordered a number of her cards and I can tell you, they are amazing! 😊
Oct 16, 2019 @ 12:28:42
5 – 50 in a set, makes no nevermind to moi – :). But sure it does play into container and shipping costs/efficient biz model – and, one must wait for quality and true value things…. 🙂

occurs to me that pinches create new and interesting shapes and patterns – least they did when i was hanging in gardens playing with small pieces of nature’s puzzle
Oct 23, 2019 @ 12:10:00
that’s what I’m thinking, Robert.
