Mural Paintings Project

The details have been finalized, and I have begun assembling materials to start on a commission I have received by way of the ArtsCare program of the Corvallis Art Center (ArtCentric) for two large multi-panel paintings for Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. The paintings will be two panoramic landscape scenes - one from north of Corvallis and one from the Alpine area south of the city.



The project will be ongoing through 2008, and the paintings will eventually be hanging in the hospital's Conference Rooms A & B after remodeling/ construction is completed. I'll post updates and pictures occasionally through the year, so check back!

Art on Display through end of February

The opening on Thursday went great!
Thanks everyone who braved the rain and darkness to come out. I was pleased to see so many friends and meet some new people too! It was all very positive.


If you missed the opening and still want to check out the 12 pieces on display in person, which I recommend, of course - Visage Eyewear is a friendly store, and they're open every day of the week:

More Etsy Gift Guides!

Oh! More Etsy.com Gift Guide exposure in the categories for Book Worms and Writers (Address Book), and Gourmets (Blank Recipe Book). This is splendid!! . . . though sales slowed down after Wednesday. Back to painting!

Etsy Gift Guides!

Aah, I just discovered that Rabbit Food Cookbook is also featured in the Etsy.com Housewarming, Hostess Gift, and Teenage Girls (12-17) gift guides!! They don't tell me about this I have to look around and discover it myself. I don't know how often the items are rotated, but still - Very cool!



I also updated my photos of the books on my shop, displaying them all on the beautiful green linen dish towel my sister Lynn knitted just for me earlier this year!

Featured on Etsy.com home page

Yes, for a brief while on Dec. 5 my blank recipe books were featured on the etsy.com home page, an unexpected surprise, and some nice extra exposure! Here's a snapshot pdf since the site's featured "pics" are rotated out several times a day.

RFC on Natural Health Magazine Website

Rabbit Food Cookbook has been included in the Natural Health Magazine holiday gift guide for 2007! Unfortunately it wasn't used in the feature appearing in magazine itself, but the free publicity/advertising is appreciated anyhow. It is listed on their website in the additional "25 gifts under $25" feature: www.naturalhealthmag.com/holiday07 (page 3).

More Retailers and other update

Check out the "where to buy in stores" link in my Beth Bee Books section for my growing list of retailers carrying Rabbit Food! Maybe one is near you!


Also, I'm finally preparing to soup up the Blank Recipe Book/Journal and get some sweet tabs made for it, like those in the new edition of RFC. Unfortunately this may not be off the ground by xmas, but who knows? The book has moderate sales on Etsy as it is, but if I made more at once, I could get more out there. Look for updates.

New Feature - Recipe Downloads

At long last I've added downloadable pages for the new recipes (here) added in the Rabbit Food Cookbook 5th Edition! If you've got a copy an earlier edition of the book, don't miss out on the new recipes & artwork. These are also available to anyone as a sample of what's in the book. Happy cooking!

I think I've decided this painting is finished.
