My friend and talented composer/violinist/singer/dancer/creative wonder woman <a href="https://jackiehighway.com/">Jackie Highway</a> just released this amazing music video. It's a lot of fun and fresh sounding, perfect to add to your summer playlist. Best of all, she is wearing a custom <a href="http://www.yazberry.com/">YazBerry Fashion</a> hand cut leather lace cuff I made her in some of the scenes. Watch for a shiny, silver leather cuff on her left wrist while you enjoy the tunes and colorful video. Keep an eye out for her new album dropping soon; it's awesome! <br />

<span lang="EN-CA"><b><u>Early Life</u></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Born in
rural Minnesota, Berry was an active and creative child. Her grandmother was an
avid quilter and whenever she stayed at grandma’s she would play with scrap
fabric and make things – clothes for dolls, from scratch stuffed animals,
miniature quilts. She also took classes in the fine arts and had paintings
displayed in student shows around town and entered into regional and national
contests. Informal lessons from grandma, mom and many other mothers in Girl
Scouts, taught Berry how to sew, quilt, design patterns, dye, weave, spin yarn…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><b><u>Education</u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">While pursuing
her Bachelor of Arts Degree at Skidmore College, Berry’s lifetime interest in costumes
and ability to sew landed her a job at the Skidmore Theatre Costume shop. Under
the tutelage of Patty Pawliczak, Berry honed her designing and pattern drafting
skills. She also took a course in textile arts where she learned surface design,
decorative embroidery techniques, piece work, advanced weaving and dyeing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">At
Skidmore, Berry designed collections for student fashion shows in 2002 and
2004. Dabbling with sustainable fashion and not even realizing it at the time,
in 2002 Berry constructed gowns from recycled black and white photos of people
from magazines. In 2004, after having spent a year living and studying in
Madrid, Spain, Berry made a collection featuring salvaged leather she had found
outside a workshop in Madrid. She also recycled scrap fabric from the costume
shop into couture dresses; one, her French model asked to bring home with her
to Paris.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><b><u>YazBerry Launch 2005</u></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Berry
graduated Skidmore in 2004 and in May of 2005 began YazBerry Fashion. The name
YazBerry is a play on the designer’s surname and offers a fresh, funky,
alternative to the expected strawberry/raspberry/blueberry while bringing that
juicy, fruity taste to one’s mouth when read. From the start YazBerry has been
a mix of handmade, one of a kind, designs by Berry and carefully curated
vintage finds. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">YazBerry’s
early designs were art purses, throw pillows, graphic t-shirts and assorted
custom orders. From there the designs focused on purses and ready to wear
clothing. In 2009, Berry was invited by The Fashion Reporter virtual Magazine
and Fashion Evolution Productions to showcase a selection of her purses at a
fashion show featuring pieces from the fall collections of Vivienne Tam, Tibi,
MNG Mango, Vera Wang and Rebecca Taylor. Purses from the YazBerry Fashion
collection were paired with designs by Vivienne Tam and Tibi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><b><u>Artist in Residence</u></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">In 2010,
Berry wrote a proposal for an artist's studio and retail space in Salem, MA, in
the City of Salem's Artists' Row artist in residence program. Berry was among five
artist groups selected to have space during the summer and fall. During this
time she created an extensive portfolio and expanded her line into jewelry,
stationary and decor items. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">During her
stay on Artists' Row, Berry offered workshops and demonstrations to members of
the community. She also produced a fashion show as part of the Ahht for Peeps
art event, in which her work was modeled by members of the community, real
people as she put it. She invited Artists' Row artists Ellen Hardy, President
of the Salem Arts Association, to showcase her hand painted silk scarves and
neckties and Dan Anthony, to share his handcrafted leather masks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><b><u>Retail Co-op</u></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Back in her
hometown of Northfield, MN, Berry showcased her work at The Riverwalk Market Fair
during two summer seasons and held a seat on the Leadership Committee. Berry also
held a share of a unique retail co-op, The Local Joint, featuring both her
handmade designs and a broad selection of vintage accessories and home items.
Berry’s knowledge of sourcing and valuing vintage items was nurtured by the
many experienced pickers in the co-op, further expanding her interest and
expertise in picking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I'm lost without a pen and paper, a check list, a brief note. YazBerry Fashion is my outlet to bring that which inspires me to life, in a tangible, wearable, useful way. I create because whatever it is that keeps me up at night with ideas spinning through my head must be fed by putting my hands to work manifesting my visions.<br />
<br />
I am obsessed with recycling; I think I was a first wave 'reduce, reuse, recycle' student and it stuck with me from an impressionable age. I strive to recycle as much as I possibly can; this comes through in my design work. I love working with recycled materials. I almost prefer them to new materials, though I do use a mix in my work. There is something about picking up a discarded material, taking in its limitations and characteristics and finding a way to breathe new life into it. I consider this sustainable fashion.<br />
<br />
In the last fifteen years I have made my way around the world. I am inspired by the colors I see, vivid tropical hues, bold eastern pigments and delicious color combinations. I try to capture these colors, textures and sights in my work.<br />
<br />
I enjoy examining everything I can with my fingers and my eyes, learning its texture, seeing its ornate details. I pay attention to these things and create with the details and hand in mind. I am inspired by vintage garments, architecture and the textiles themselves. Because I work with a lot of recycled materials, often the material tells me what it should become. I enjoy designing this way and find it more challenging to design from a drawing or a vision and find the materials that work to make this vision come to be.<br />
<br />
My work is colorful. It has strong shapes, bold colors and patterns and subtle details reminiscent of vintage craftsmanship. I create with people that enjoy treasure hunting in mind. People that enjoy the art of dressing themselves in special items, pops of color, three or more colors at once like me. I design for people wanting something unique, one of a kind; something not available in malls or department stores. My work is wearable art.<br />
<br />

I am a dilly-dallier and I can lose hours a day to Facebook and interesting news articles.<br />
<br />
I am trying to be come a good time manager and goal setter this year. Last fall I started a practice that I have impressively continued into 2016 (I start things with good intentions often, soon to abandon them to distraction). It's called Morning Pages. You can read more about it in my previous post on <a href="http://yazberry.blogspot.ca/2015/09/morning-pages-inspiration.html">Morning Pages</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Morning Pages: A master tool for getting out of your head and on to paper. More space in brain for thinking & productivity!</b><br />
Basically you spend time with yourself and a journal in the morning. I use it to write down things I am worried about that are blocking my mind from being productive. For me that is usually paragraph form. Then I write down today's to do list - bullet form (with a line in front so I can go back and put a check mark in it another day, once complete). I also use it for brainstorming ideas, setting goals and this year I am trying to write myself daily affirmations. This feels a bit awkward to me but I am hoping the idea will grow on me. Otherwise I am a big fan of Morning Pages and look forward to writing each morning.<br />
<br />
I am also revisiting a time management technique I had read about a few years ago but never implemented, <a href="http://pomodorotechnique.com/get-started/">The Pomodoro Technique</a>. You know those vintage kitchen timers that look like tomatoes? Well that is your main tool. (Pomodoro is Italian for tomato). I've been trying this for a week and find I lose significantly less time to Facebook (I call that a good tool already!).<br />
<br />
<b>Pomodoro Technique: A master tool for keeping on top of the clock and not losing time to distractions. </b><br />
I am only starting to use this technique but can say a week into it I feel more productive and in control of my day. I have not wasted hours on Facebook like I am often prone to do. I am also finding time in the breaks to do other tasks I have been putting off. The basic idea is you set a timer for 25 minutes and then after 25 minutes you take a 5 minute break to do what you want. Then after 4 pomodoros (sessions of 25 minutes) you get a longer break. I have been taking 30 minutes. Each session you complete mark a check mark on some paper so you can keep track of your groups of 4. The more advanced use of this technique involves carefully planning the tasks you need to accomplish in a day in to how many pomodoro sessions it will take you to complete the tasks. I am not that good at estimating time at this point and am happy just using a timer to keep myself on task.<br />
<br />
Additionally, though I have yet to decide if I like it or if it is necessary for me; I am trying one of the techniques used in <a href="http://bulletjournal.com/">Bullet Journaling</a> called the <a href="http://r3tta.com/487-2/">Daily Tracker</a>. Which I am hoping will help me develop a more managable routine and gain some work/life balance. I have dodged routine for most of my life thinking it boring, but as I am navigating working from home, I am craving it. I learned of this technique from a post by <a href="http://r3tta.com/487-2/">Retta Richie Holbrook</a>, an artist. If you sign up for her mailing list she is giving away a 2016 monthly tracker with her original artwork on each month. I know there is so much more to Bullet Journaling beyond the Daily Tracker technique, which some day I may explore or incorporate into my Morning Pages, but for now I'm dipping my toes in the Daily Tracker to see what I think.<br />
<br />
<b>Daily Tracker: A master tool for sticking to routine and completing daily tasks. </b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I admit, I can be a bit of a space cadet and not eat until dinner or miss my every other day shower (ew I know). Or good things like drinking daily lemon & turmeric water first thing in the AM, or using my new blue light to combat the chronically grey winter skies here. Basically you have the numbered days of the month at the top of the sheet and blank spaces down the left side to add your routine items you wish to track. Then there is space across the grid to put X marks as you accomplish the tasks you have set for yourself.<br />
<br />
Wish me luck on with my time management goals for 2016. I hope they help me make much more <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yazberryfashion/">YazBerry Jewelry</a> to share with you. Maybe you'll find some of these useful too! Happy New Year!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21159251.post-17996919248393500232015-10-12T11:11:00.000-04:002015-10-12T11:11:16.573-04:00I Orderded a Glowforge 3-D Laser Printer!I am going to own a laser!
I have been stewing over this for a month. Should I buy one, can I justify the pricey purchase? Do I really need this? Making lists of pros and cons...the only thing ever on the con list is the price...so today I placed an order for a <a href="http://glowforge.com/referred/?kid=70ZZG">Glowforge 3-D Laser Printer</a><br />
<br />
<br />
If you want one for 50% off the retail price you can pre-order for another 15 days or so (check the website to be certain) and you will get $100 off if you use my link and so will I! I just pre-ordered a <a href="http://glowforge.com/referred/?kid=70ZZG">Glowforge 3D laser printer</a>. It was an earlybird unit, so it was half price. They still have half-price units available, and <a href="http://glowforge.com/referred/?kid=70ZZG">this link is an EXTRA $100 coupon</a>. Please, help me pay for this thing so I can make you amazing creations.<br />
<br />
There are sooooo many things I can make with this and want to make. This tool will replace many processes I currently do by hand. Cutting of leather lace, cutting of vinyl records, cutting of fabric pieces. It will also bring in the ability to etch and pierce so many things! My favorite feature is I can hand draw anything, and place it in the <a href="http://glowforge.com/referred/?kid=70ZZG">Glowforge 3-D Laser Printer</a> and it will cut that design into anything! As many times as I want. No need to train myself on Computer Aided Drawing though I would like to learn someday.<br />
<br />
Wow, ok, so I am considering a GoFundme/Kickstarter Project which will have amazing laser cut gifts at the different donation levels. Stay tuned.<br />
<br />
Here are images of some of my work I hope to improve by using the <a href="http://glowforge.com/referred/?kid=70ZZG">Glowforge 3-D Laser Printer</a>:

While I love hand cutting leather, and will likely continue to as a sort of "originals vs. prints" concept, I have been wanting to automate the process by making my hand drawn ideas CAD designs and then learning how to program a laser printer or cutter to cut these designs.<br />
<br />
There is a new product out there <a href="http://glowforge.com/referred/?kid=70ZZG">Glowforge</a> which could make this possible at home! You can cut wood, leather, etch glass, cut felt...so many interesting applications. If you get a chance flip through their galleries because there are already so many amazing things this printer has made...<br />
<br />
I want a <a href="http://glowforge.com/referred/?kid=70ZZG">Glowforge</a> so bad! Meanwhile, I think last year I read about a makers group in St. John's that has a laser in their collection of tools. I may need to further investigate...<br />

I've just relocated again and have been trying to develop a new routine with professional and creative productivity in mind, while doing my part time day job and cooking meals, and focusing on mental and physical health.<br />
<br />
I really like the way Julia presents this idea, a focused form of journaling as the first thing one does in the morning. Start the day by emptying the brain of anxieties and ideas so that you may better focus on them throughout the day without worrying about forgetting them...confusing yes, but the near constant state of an anxious, creative mind.<br />
<br />
I have always been partial to list making. That is how I am using this project. I'm starting the writing with my immediate to-do list: things I hope to accomplish during the day or the following day. Then I spin big ideas. My favorite part. Things I hope to accomplish or would like to spend more time thinking about. Ways to grow my business, things I would like to contribute to the community, all sorts of great things.<br />
<br />

I've been tweeting for a few years now but mostly YazBerry related stuff. In an attempt at soul searching and figuring out what it is that makes me tick this past winter, it occurred to me that I read A LOT of articles online daily. I enjoy cruising my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yazberryfashion">facebook</a> feed for interesting articles friends post and also all of the news sources I follow. I started <a href="https://twitter.com/yazberryfashion">tweeting</a> links to the things I read, to take a pulse on what interests me. Deep down I think I am hoping it will inspire a career shift and focus.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love making things, but I also need to make a living. I am hoping it will help me hone in on something that allows both jointly. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In a further layer of soul searching, I've given myself permission to experiment with <a href="https://instagram.com/yazberryfashion/">instagram</a>. To see what visually makes me tick and how I spend my day. I am a very private person and don't often invite people into my home - in which I am the boss of every creative detail! I also don't like to overshare on the internet (shockingly I have experienced stalkers in the past...wtf I know). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All of this said, if you would like a more intimate look into what makes this creative person tick, please, I invite you to follow me on <a href="https://instagram.com/yazberryfashion/">Instagram</a> & <a href="https://twitter.com/yazberryfashion">Twitter</a> and as always, thank you for your continued support. </div>

Collection</a>. Perfectly mismatched. We both like to work with found, salvaged, rescued and restored materials and both enjoy each other's work. Be sure to check out <a href="https://industrialgracerestoration.wordpress.com/">her blog</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IndustrialGraceRestoration?fref=ts">her facebook</a>.<br />
<br />
This was Becky's brilliant idea, she asked me if I'd be interested in a collaborative project like this and a few months later, I opened the mailbox to the tiniest, hand crafted box (from recycled materials of course! She had packed into it 12 single earrings, each very different from the other. Included was a sweet note with the instructions: to make a pair for each earring, keep 6 pairs for myself, send the other pairs back and send some new single earrings for her to make pairs.<br />
<br />
How fun! It has taken me several more months to get back to my studio and supplies. I finally have the studio dug out and this is the first project I am working on.<br />

This was a fun project, I think I will use a different printing company next time. I wish more of the artists wrote notes on their postcards like Kat the organizer suggested, I wrote nice notes and was hoping for the same, some of this felt very promotional which wasn't what I was expecting. But either way. it's fun to see what people are proud of and to get surprise mail! Who doesn't love a little mail. I didn't make any new connections out of this like I thought I might but oh well, I painted! I like what I contributed, and hope it brightened someone's day!<br />

Here is a video montage of some of the contributing artists, compiled by Kat Sloma (copyright Kat Sloma 2015) I'm sharing as one of my pieces is included at 3:00 minutes. Enjoy!<br />

It's that time of year, Easter in the Christian world. Happy Easter to those that celebrate from my egg laden table to yours! At my house, like most creative activities, dying Easter eggs is an art, we try new techniques each year.<br />
<br />
This year, this <a href="http://faithtap.com/2767/how-to-dye-eggs-using-silk/">video tutorial</a> on how to dye eggs with silk scarves was shared by a few of my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yazberryfashion">facebook friends</a>. I thought, heck, that looks easy and lovely, I will give it a try. I found the instructions a little sparse, so I turned to <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/269788/silk-tie-easter-eggs">Martha</a> to fill in the blanks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Materials:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>-eggs</b> (as few or many as you want, my scarf was enough for 9 and and I didn't want to do a 2nd batch)<br /><b>-silk scarf, neckties, boxers, shirts, fabric, etc.</b> (must be 100% silk) mine was $2.99 at Goodwill. (Tip: look for small scale prints, you will enjoy the tiny details on your egss, or mix and match, I wouldn't go much larger than the print I have featured or you will get mostly solid eggs).<br /><b>-scissors</b><b>-white fabric</b> (anything, old sheet, cotton muslin, old tablecloth etc.)<br /><b>-twist ties</b> (plastic coated if you have them otherwise paper coated works, I just found they dissolved in the water and were harder to remove).<br /><b>-3 tablespoons white vinegar</b><b>-water</b><br /><b>-non-reactive pot</b> (I used metal successfully, though Martha suggests glass or enamel and the video uses enamel)<br /><b>-stove</b><br /><b>-vegetable oil</b> (optional - to give shine to finished eggs)</blockquote>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br />
<b>Step 1:</b><br />
Thrift, raid your closet or purchase new, something made of silk. You will be cutting it into pieces and the dye will bleed in the hot water so make sure it is something you are willing to part with. Make sure whatever you use is 100% silk as they dye process used in dying natural fibers such as silk is what allows the dye to transfer to your eggs...you know you your fancy clothes need to be washed in cold water? This is why, they are not color fast in hot water.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOSpBR69dPmMvHfc0Sw713V5DjnuHlnu8BbaXyFt5sKADdyPdMakPhD4_NQVUQ9UkZeGKDxHNKzOBNu5tTeMYUWJN8kvpZkZ4vY3GkJEVi6tcBx8VjCwtmgPRla7OoGvURedfxIQ/s1600/20150402_114223.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOSpBR69dPmMvHfc0Sw713V5DjnuHlnu8BbaXyFt5sKADdyPdMakPhD4_NQVUQ9UkZeGKDxHNKzOBNu5tTeMYUWJN8kvpZkZ4vY3GkJEVi6tcBx8VjCwtmgPRla7OoGvURedfxIQ/s1600/20150402_114223.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<b>Step 2:</b><br />
Cut your silk into 7" x 7" squares. Note: many silks have rich enough dye that you can reuse them 2-5 times (depending on lots of factors) to dye eggs. Cut your white fabric into 7" x 7" squares.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3: </b><br />
Wrap your eggs tightly with the silk squares. The video shows scrunching them around a broad side, I did mine scrunching them at the bottom (broader end) because I thought it would yield a better transfer. You can experiment. This is an art, not a science so have fun. The imperfections add to the beauty. Secure with a twist tie.<br />

<b>Step 4:</b><br />
Wrap the silk in the white fabric. Make sure you tuck the tails inside as this will limit how much dye seeps into the water and will give you cleaner color and print transfers.<br />

<b><b>Step 5:</b></b></div>
<br />
Place the wrapped eggs into the pot, fill with enough water so that the eggs are fully submerged. Don't pack too tightly with eggs as you want room for the water to circulate around the eggs to aid in the dye transfer. Add 3 tablespoons white vinegar.<br />

<b>Step 7:</b><br />
<br />
Once the wrapped eggs are cooled, remove the wrappings. Remember, you can reuse this silk 2-5 times. With the white fabric, use your best judgement, if it soaked in a lot of dye, maybe cut fresh pieces next time, if only a little dye was absorbed<br />

If you want a shiny finish to the eggs, lightly brush them with vegetable oil. Once you let the oil dry a little you can gently rub off the excess with a dish towel.<br />

Enjoy!<br />

<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21159251.post-68569307465454042902015-03-26T14:41:00.000-04:002015-03-26T14:41:13.509-04:00Big Changes at YazBerryDear fans and friends, and those that are one in the same,<br />
<br />
I regret to announce that after a few years of tragically slow sales on my one-of-a-kind handmade clothing and purses, I am going to take a break from the production of aforementioned products. I cannot compete with the prices of mass produced goods overseas that many are demanding of me.<br />
<br />
I am an independent artisan. That means I imagine the item, source the materials (online, out driving from store to store, anywhere I can find goods), design the item, I draft a pattern when appropriate or make the item directly on the dress form, I cut, assemble and sew each item, I photograph each item, sometimes many times since I am an amateur photographer at best, I write copy and descriptions of each item, I measure each item, I upload images to the internet, I make my own advertising materials with my basic paint and Microsoft Publisher software, I write blog entries, I promote my own work on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yazberryfashion">facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/yazberryfashion">twitter</a>, I try to convince buyers at craft fairs that my work is worthy of your hard earned money, I build display props (which involves sourcing materials, figuring out how to make my idea functional, trouble shooting, rebuilding, redesigning...repeat), I set up my own booth at fairs...the list goes on. I am a Jane of All Trades....literally. All of this while working full time day jobs!<br />
<br />
Needless to say, to keep up with the cost of living I need to earn more than minimum wage for all of this work and am not coming anywhere near that. My purses and clothes have been sold at production cost (materials and some labor (and barely)) for the past 10 years because when I raise the prices to a profitable number I experience no sales. I cannot sustain this business model. I love designing purses and clothing, but without a customer base it is a labor of love in vain.<br />
<br />
What does this mean? I am not going out of business. I am shifting gears. I will continue making fabulous jewelry and will also continue with the new baby shoes and accessories line. I will consider custom orders on purses and clothing on a case by case basis. I will also consider custom quilting projects, though be prepared to pay what they are worth ($500 - $1500+).<br />
<br />
I have been in the process of relocating to a different country for the last 2 years. Once that process is finalized, I will reevaluate my creative pursuits again and may launch a new line. I've wanted to design high end, fashion forward, performance outerwear for many years and may finally be able to take some design classes to learn about some of the technology out there that may make this process doable, though I <i>will not</i> be sewing these pieces from scratch but intend to source a domestic sewing shop to produce them.<br />
<br />
As my personal friends are aware, I have been slowly auctioning off at deep discounts, and now finally am giving away, the rest of my handmade purse and clothing inventory. This decision has been extremely difficult for me (simply facing the loss of potential income...not to mention confessing that I failed). Just today I gave away a hand stitched leather piece for free that I know should sell for $300! This decision and my failing business has caused me too much stress, anxiety and depression. It is time to move forward with new ideas.<br />
<br />
I want to thank you for your continued interest in my creative pursuits and support over the last decade (<i>can you believe it, YazBerry will be 10 years old in May!</i>). YazBerry has been an interesting ride and I hope you will continue following me as my creative direction shifts in the next few years.<br />
<br />
<b>Please continue following me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yazberryfashion">facebook</a> I am <i>too</i> active there and you will have the most up to date news. You can shop my existing inventory right from my photo albums. I accept payment via PayPal invoices (all major credit cards - no need to even have a PayPal account) and I will ship worldwide. </b><br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />

I've finished my postcards and after some frustrating printing mishaps from Fedex office online (BE VERY CAREFUL and put lots of info in notes in your online order because apparently simply clicking on the document type postcards does not guarantee you a postcard sized print...not a user friendly website at all...go to a retail place and pay the little extra to guarantee you get what you want...)</div>

I now have 8.5 x 11 prints of these images...that I felt compelled to purchase even though they intended to shred them due to the mistake (It just felt so wasteful and since it is my art I thought I'd take them since I NEVER reproduce my paintings...though sadly the edge of the Rat Baby Love image is slightly cut off where the text is...wanh wanh). I am happy to share with you if you want one :) I can have others printed too. Just <a href="mailto:shop.yazberry@gmail.com">contact me</a> and name your price. Prints are $1.49 plus postage and envelope so you have an idea of my expense (not to mention labor and creativity but again...name your price ;) ) I may work on the scans of the images with the all white backgrounds to get the shadows out from where the page was warped from watercolors. </div>
