Alright, I've come to a decision with the tarot deck. I'm going to offer five proto-types of the tarot deck, to see how it looks, how well its received and to figure out what I need to change on it to make it better received on a whole. So this is what I'm going to do for starters, this is the listing on my site: ........................................ ........................................ ............... http://bethalynnebajema.com/scriptorium/?page_id=91&category=1&product_id=59Sepia Stains Tarot Card Deck This is a limited edition proto-type version of my Sepia Stains tarot deck. This deck is being printed locally and will be put together and polished off by me. It will come in its own decorated wooden case with a certificate noting which number (of the five) it is, that it is a limited edition item and have my signature. I will include four 5x7 inch metallic prints of the tarot deck art, the buyer can select the four pieces of art from the deck they want. The deck is going through the final stages of print preparation. This is an item that will not be available right away. I'm not sure how long the printing process will take or how long it will take to put it together and polish it off for delivery. I want to be very clear about that so you're not expecting the deck next week. The turn around time will be reasonable though. These decks will have all the bells and whistles of a hand made item. Even if the deck is published by an outside publisher down the line, any of the decks that are printed by me will be unique and limited edition styles. Besides the standard ones being sold here, there is also a miniature version of the deck I'm selling in very small numbers as a novelty. Three are being sold through my site, and two of the decks are being sold through the etsy store, in case you find them sold out on my site: http://ettadiem.etsy.comTo view examples of the deck, please look here: http://bethalynnebajema.com/scriptorium/?p=777........................................ ........................................ ......... If the deck does well this way and the final product looks good, depending on what was involved in creating it, I may sell more like this. I want the decks I create myself to be special though, and be a quality that is not mass produced or easy to come by. I have more items to put up today for sale. I have quite a few new things ready to go. Feedback is always appreciated. Right now, as it tends to be in summer, sales are down. I get requests for things, but not a lot of follow up. I'm also a bad judge of what of my work should be available and in what size or style. So I welcome suggestions.

I've been griping about this is my private journal, but just for the record after an ER visit on Monday, I was admitted into a GR hospital, under the name you know me by. I'm not dying, but my health has been in a far better state at other times. I'm hoping for the best, after a lot of whining, and getting beyond being scared. In the meantime, tonight my lover came to visit me baring gifts in the form of cute, squishy and soft cthulhu-like pet. I've given him the same name as one in this painting of his below... sadly not pictured in these particular samples. Myke's work is quite incredible and meshes the good steampunk fashion with our love of all that is Lovecraft and adventure intermingling. His works are all 100% hand painted in a traditional fashion. The giclees he offers from these paintings are worth every cent if not more -if I could just get him to bend to my price nagging ;) Anyhoo, since I have nothing to put up just yet, please take a look at his work.

Courtesy is a dying art form. This makes me sad.
"The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead,
and with its head he went galumphing back."
I had been told rumors but I thought they were just over-reacting. But as it turns out, they were not. Fuzzy pelt & cartoon totem worshipers be damned. Sad sad state of affairs when someone cannot just be honest and say it to your face. Ah well, have you seen my finger paintings? It's their loss. Truly, their loss.
But not for you! This cryptic and strange wayward post is just to say that a few new things have been popped into the shop: http://ettadiem.etsy.com
Thank you for passing through! Oh! And on a happy note, to the left is the nearly final draft for my tarot card set. I've begun my publisher solicitors this week. |

I temporarily deleted my personal journal (the "bajema" one) while I go through it and clean it up a bit. I've got a decade of entries on there where my level of personal entries goes up and down. I'd like to make a great deal of it private so I'm just taking it down for a spell while I do that editing. So no worries, it's not some drama-laden hand stapled to forehead "woe is me I must delete my journal now beg me to come back!" type thing. I just feel like being a bit more private with my personal life and would like to quietly edit it for those items. For anyone who happens to be concerned, it will be back up in a week or so. There is always this one for art and my blog on my site for more art and info. |
