Turn Your Hobby Into A Business - Part 1

Publishing my own greeting cards:
Little Curly  new greeting card: Happy Birthday!
 
I had not really thought of producing my work as cards until a girl who saw my work posted on Saatchi online Gallery and sent me a message to ask where she could buy my prints or cards, I also received numerous friends’ requests about the availability of cards and seen other artists selling their work on line, so I started to do some research on the internet about “How to sell your art online”…..... Then I found a site for artists to sell handmade craft, I signed up as member to learn how do other artists sell their work, a few months later I set up Ella Parry online shop and started selling my own greeting cards  which are now sold in a variety of locations! :)

All Ella's new greeting cards will be selling @ www.ellaparry.com Soon!
I print the cards myself rather than employing a printer; I have found this is the cheapest & most convenient option, which allows me to control all aspects of the service from printing quality to maintaining an appropriate level of stock.

I use a 6-colour Epson Photo Stylus printer (its does super print), I get most of my greeting cards (blank cards, envelopes and cello bag) from recycled papers suppliers - eco-craft Ltd
 * Tips: Purchase them in bull to keep cost down.

All cards are made using:
* 100% recycled texture white card
* 100% recycled envelope
* biodegradable cello bag
* cards are blank inside
* hand decorated
All images are from Ella’s original illustrations 
*All Ella 's greeting cards will be available @ www.ellaparry.com 
Very Soon!!!!


Support Artists!
*Buy handmade and you support a true artist
*Support Independent artists by buying their work on artist's website!!!

Clinton Nuke Codes Lost for Months?

A story broke recently claiming that former President Clinton had lost the "biscuit" -the card bearing the nuclear codes- for months. What utter incompetence!! I guess this is yet another consequence surfacing due to Clinton screwing around with Monica Lewinsky.

Is Charitable Discourse Possible?

While writing on charitable discourse it seems that Conor Friedersdorf manages to be uncharitable toward others with whom he disagrees. While I disagree with pretty much all of his assessments and assumptions of conservative pundits his ideas on charitable discourse seem interesting.


I believe that approaching things in a charitable manner and thus engaging those with whom we both agree or disagree using charitable discourse is the right thing to do, good and prudent. But, if a person comes along and makes outlandish statements and assumptions about your motives instead of debating using facts then one may not be able to be charitable. Should a person base his charitableness in public discourse on the basis of one’s education, knowledge on a subject, gender or political ideology? Does having a college degree make you smarter or more knowledgeable? Does having a higher college degree give someone the right to think that they are better or smarter than you? Are we susceptible as human beings to be more charitable to those we agree with? How come some that have called for charitable public discourse seem to only follow that rule with those with whom they agree, those who are anonymous, or those who they have never met but treat people they have met and know harshly? There can be tough debate while being charitable at the same time. The moderator or blog owner need to be fair and consistent with regards to what comments he/she deems to be inappropriate. Can one’s political ideology blind them to the truth in recognizing evil in the world or when there is one or more threats on the American people?

In most cases even though I am upfront and use a direct approach with what I state on my blog I try to be charitable. But, if a person (usually liberal) appears on my blog and makes ad hominem attacks or outrageous statements then, for me being charitable goes out the window.

Second Time Audience Breaks Into Pledge of Allegiance Despite the League of Women Voters Moderator Objecting

http://kdka.com/video/?id=77101@kdka.dayport.com

http://kdka.com/politics/League.women.voters.2.1984050.html

For some reason I can't get the video to load so above are two links to the video.

This is the second time that a League of Women Voters moderator has tried to deny the audience from saying the Pledge of Allegiance when requested before a debate.  This is also the second time the audience stood up and said the Pledge, making sure the Pledge would be said, before the debate.  Tim Murphy is actually my Representative and is a conservative.

NPR Tribute Featuring Noam Chomsky, Juan Williams, and Nina Totenberg



It is time to defund NPR.  NPR is clearly no longer a reliable source for objective news (and hasn't been for years).  NPR is clearly bought and paid for by the leftist radical George Soros.

An artist's best friend

I love to draw under the natural light but living in London with this "Grey" weather....... forget about it :( 
working on my "little curly first day of school' children book
Light can be a big issue for artist!!! Especially come to the winter time in UK.

If you're working in a studio without large north-facing windows or like me, living in London with short daylight (it starts to get dark around 4pm), you should invest a daylight bulbs so you can draw all day, all night long!!!!

I have found my best friend-Energy Saving Daylight bulbs
