Sunday

Weekend Progress

The end of the weekend is here, unfortunately...although it was lovely and relaxing. I hope all of yours were nice as well :-)

I got one more collage laid out, see below... And I ordered a printer! The Epson R1900, one I've been researching for a little while. Finally saw some test prints at the store - actually in a book, comparing Epson's top 3 wide-format printers (well, the top 3 for less than $1,000.00, that is). I'm so excited that I'll be able to print lovely, quality images soon!



While I was at it, I also ordered a new computer from HP. I love my little HP Mini Netbook so much, that little red-with-pink-flowers cuteness that you see peeking out of the corner of the pic above - but, while it's very pretty and very portable, the small screen is difficult to work with to process images, and I decided to splurge on a dedicated machine for my coming-soon Etsy business. I even have a repayment plan all figured out for the financing on the computer - thanks to my good friend S. who taught me budgeting & financial projections. I feel so business-like now!

I have to admit that planning for my online store, getting my artwork ready to introduce to the world, really committing to moving forward with this dream I have of being a successful artist, is really starting to take over my life now. There is not much else that I'd rather be doing right now :-)

  3. Ooh, you got the R1900!! Fantastic. I'm happy to hear you thought it's good after shopping around, that's the one I've been looking at too - just haven't made the leap yet... : ) Good luck with your prints and look forward to checking out your soon-to-be etsy shop!! (And I know EXACTLY what you mean in your last sentence - there's nothing I'd rather be doing right now, either. That fishbowl is an inspiring place...)
