New Item:

Just added a new item, my altered star collage! "Journey Through the Universe" is an OOAK  5 page altered book/ mixed media piece that was inspired by the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" & the History Channel's series "The Universe."  It is a set of 5 mini-paintings of images one would see traveling across the universe: a small cluster of stars, an Earth-like planet, a rocky satellite, a cluster of galaxies & a sun. It has great depth & texture along w/ brilliant colors. The words are the lyrics to the ethereal-like song written by John Lennon.  I have a slide show of this piece here on my blog, posted last week.  You can find this at my shop: www.jmliss.etsy.com

FB Business Page

Cool thing about Facebook is not only that it has an etsy application (http://apps.facebook.com/etsyshop/) that will add you store to your personal profile wall, but you can also create a FB page for your business!  FB is such a fun network site! I am in touch w/ people I have  not seen or spoken to in well over 10+ years! Nice thing is that I can easily share w/my friends & other FB uses my esty business!  You can modify all the privacy & control settings, create discussion, allow reviews, make favs from other etsy store or businesses, post photos, create links & more.  FB uses can become fan's of your site & will receive updates on their wall. Now, how cool is that?

One of most favorite web sites is: www.wordle.net. It is a site where one can create word clouds. I have found it to be very creative, therapeutic, and well, very addicitive. I have used this site to create many word clouds I have & will be using in my art. The creator of the wordle program, Jonathan Feinberg, created this word cloud & posted it to his blog. All I can say is "WOW!"

Journey Through The Universe

As soon as I am done w/some finishing touches & editing my pictures this altered book-mixed media collage based on the Beatles song "Across the Universe" will be posted on my etsy store. The quality of the slide show did not come out as clear as my pictures, need to play around a bit more.
