A New Way to Shop...

...for Beth Logan designs, that is.

I just launched the shiny new Artstuff Ltd. Store on Zazzle (insert fanfare music here, ta-dah)!

Many of you already know about Zazzle - for those who don't, you should definitely check it out.  This is a great way for me to offer products and designs that aren't already out there in the marketplace.  I'm really excited about this! 

The Artstuff Ltd. Store has gallery-wrapped canvas wall art, t-shirts, bags, mugs, and more.  I'm still just figuring the whole thing out but will be adding lots more throughout the holiday shopping season, including a special holiday-themed shop-within-a-shop.

I'm especially excited about these:

How cool is that?  Hard-shell covers for your devices with my art on them!

I hope you'll pop on over and see what's cooking; "like" the store (you'll see that familiar little thumbs-up button!) and please give me your feedback and thoughts on things you'd like to see me offer there or other suggestions. I'd appreciate it!

And I do hope your holiday season is off to a happy start, ho ho ho!

Good Day to Stay Inside.

It's just not very inviting out there.

 
I mean, look at it. Yuck.

 
I've been painting at my desk with a cat in my lap all day.  What have you been doing to stay warm and dry?

Art Imitates Cat.

So this one might fall under the "better late than never" category, and I suppose I ought to apologize for that.  But you know how sometimes you set little goals and to-do lists for yourself in a certain order of how you believe they need to happen, but one tiny detail holds you up for some silly reason and then the whole process falls apart and the entire thing hangs dangerously on the edge of never getting accomplished, ever? 

Oh.  No, it's just me? 

Ok then, never mind.

Anyhoo, as many of you already know (no thanks to me!) The Cat's Meow has been in quilt shops for months now . . . you can still find it here and there on the web, and even some cute quilt patterns here, here, and here.  And finally (fanfare, drumroll, ta dat dat dat da!) I have yardage available in my Etsy shop.

Those of you paying close attention will also recognize some of the kitties in this group from greeting cards you might have seen in everybody's favorite gourmet discount grocer, or here on my blog (or Flossie's!).

Most of you are already familiar with my constant studio companion and muse - but did you realize that every single kitty in the collection is modeled by Miss Flossie herself?  This isn't the first time Flossie has inspired a fabric group, so I suppose it's not surprising that when Harriet from Henry Glass came to me last year to brainstorm about a cat-themed group, I went straight to my "used pictures from Flossie's blog" file folder and started sketching (these are just a few of the inspiration-photos straight from Flossie's blog).

  

  

 

 

 
And all 10 of these kitty pictures are still available as prints in my Etsy shop!

Fitting, but not at all unsual, HRH herself is cuddled up in a blankie on my lap right now, overseeing the writing of this post.
