Printing

 I am back in the laptop now for design work, and have wrestled with software new to me...plus remembering the old from a couple of years ago....

I have even got the laptop and the printer talking.

However I have been fooled by the printer not seeking to understand custom sizes...yet...

I want to print the back of some square cards....

Meanwhile I will stick with what the printer knows .....for now!!

The square card will have to have hand written backs...for now! 

Then they can go in the Etsy shop. High time I put more stick in there.

Bike bits!

 It was get down to it and list bits on eBay today, plus packing yesterday's sale.

The research is enjoyable if time consuming....

Memories of riding to the velodrome..well, track, it was outdoors...and taking the brake off the track bike ready to race....

I am gradually restocking my Etsy shop and the number of visitors and views has increased. 

It is very tempting just to get everything on in one foul swoop.....but that wouldn't work!!

So just one reposting every coup!e of days, and meanwhile work on new drawings and blocks.

I have in mind one view from our village, across a friend's farm, and across to Goat Fell on Arran....I have a few photographs of it, but I need just the right angle..

I think with making local images I can't use too much artistic licence and it must be totally recognisable

The background wasn't too visible on our last walk!!

Keep moving

 I am looking at these prints on A6 paper...do I redo them on A5 or do they say everything needed at this size?

Do I move on to new images?

Can't just sit around waiting for the ink to dry on the latest print runs!!

It's a rerun of yesterday's weather, near enough...and the same again tomorrow.

We are interspersing doing stuff with sorting and tidying. There is a limit to how long one can carry on with the latter!!

Print progress and politics

 Deciding which size to go for...I think the full A4 size, with small cards made from that...

For the moment I have taken off all but UK postage from my Etsy shop , and will only send to Scotland,Wales or England...until I can understand the new tariffs and rules...and it is not exorbitant.

I don't have many sales at the moment, and overall most do go abroad....

It is worrying....

I also wonder what I have to do to get home sales...
