AnnieBanannie's

Yea!!!  I have finally worked out the problems with the glaze and the glass tiles.  That was a chore. I walked away from it for a few weeks and then decided to check on the coating for the photographic papers that I was using.  Sure enough that was the root cause with a reaction to the glaze that created a lot of the bubbling.  I am so happy!!!  These pendants will be featured in our AnnieBanannie’s store and we will have customizable options available.

This one is a customize painting that I did with a gunmetal finished backing and chain.  I really love the look of the gunmetal finish.  However, I find that my preference is for the antiqued brass finish on this pendant that I did using a vintage rose image.

I love antiqued things and the image and the backing pair very nicely here.  I will be adding two additional backing options and also bail options when we launch our web store.  I am hoping to have the store up and running this fall.

I am off to work on some screen printing this morning – I was going to cut some stencils for airbrushing onto a few shirts, but the weather is a bit gloomy today – so I think I’ll just work on some screen designs and pull ink onto some shirts instead.

Well today on my agenda is getting my site forum up and running.  I finally got our contact form up and need to get that tested too.  We should hopefully be fully operational by August!!!  I am hoping that the weather will improve here so I can get out and gets some shots this summer.  I am heading out to Salem in late June and then will take a few trips to the coast hopefully in July and August.

I am hoping to have some new work posted at the end of June or early July.   It’s been difficult to find the time lately to work.  I am still planning to build an educational feature into the site – I haven’t quite mapped that out yet – but hopefully that portion of the site will be operational by sometime in early to late fall.

Ciao for now,

Well, I am in the beginning phase of building the web store for AnnieBanannie’s. This is really exciting for me – after a lot of years of hard work and finally things are starting to come together. I think that I have come to realize that I have a “Saka-like” (see Avatar: The Last Airbender) approach to everything that I do – I don’t follow a conventional path and in the end things somehow wind up where they should be. LOL!!! So hopefully that pattern will follow with the opening of our web store this fall!!!

Ciao, Kymmie

I am currently in the process of adding a social network component to the site. Hopefully I can get all of the bugs worked out and be up and running by the end of the week. I will be building the workshop and class area – which due to the nature of online learning – will need to have interactive features. My goal is to have everything operational by the end of June and then get busy working on a couple of class offerings for the fall. Along with that I hope to get some fresh work posted this summer. I have a couple of adventures lined up – so hopefully, I’ll have some good subject matter.

Here’s is hoping for a smooth process as this site build gets underway!!!

TTFN, Kymmie
