So I have been busy making iphone apps for those I know and myself as well. Here are some I made to give you an idea of how one could use this active business card method.

If you want an iPhone app for yourself I will do it for $45.00, just email me and I can tell you what to send me or direct me to your website.   I would keep your app current for a year with your updates and as you can see you do not even have to have an iphone to use the app as a promotional piece as it comes with a website so you can promote it with different download buttons that can be posted on your web or blog site. If you have no need of updates a one time charge would only be $30.00.  

 

OK, I am under the gun as we decided to up and leave for 4 months and go to Green Valley AZ. once again . The push is on  to get everything handled before we leave including taxes.   So to get out the newsletter is a crunch... I also am still working on those blocks to be sent out and I have 100 to finish. So I am going to give you some of that effort. Here is the project in stages. First I paint all the cards and I try to create a card that will have two images to cut out. After they are finished I paint them all with a coat of future floor polish to protect the surface. After dried I put a block over the pattern area I want and use a ball point pen to scratch the line that I will then cut upon. I take all the blocks and paint them first with mat media on the edges and the back side to seal them and follow that with a coat of paint.

Next I take my business card an use mat media to paste it on the surface. I use rubber bands to keep them tight so they glue down.

With everything laid out I take the blocks one at a time and with a sponge brush I use mat media and paint the card backing and fix them to the blocks. I use 4 rubber bands to hold down all the sides till the glue dries.

I then wrap them with a cellophane strip, tape them closed and also put a note to ask "who purchased me" inside but visible. 

I filled one box with 95 blocks to send into the company (fun that they are selling so fast) and decided to hold the additional 5 to take with me on our trip as examples and perhaps to sell. This is always quite a project to pull off so not sure if I will keep it up as I have not established if it is accomplishing what I wanted as an advertizing method to promote the web site across the country. I probably should give it some more time to prove itself.

Thank goodness I had to sit the gallery this week as I was able to paint some more to put in the news for you. Here is that four hour effort.

This teaching video is over an hour long
and I hope it will give you good information  

in one chunk instead of in bits an pieces.  Painting on a small table to  

show that this can be done anywhere, small apartment, to an RV.  You do not have to have a studio.  Here is the link for the video.

I just got the notice that I will have to be charged to send out this monthly newsletter in the future.
If you want this newsletter to continue I would have to raise the funds to do this through subscriptions. I will have to leave this in your hands to see what kind of response I get, but otherwise I have enjoyed the opportunity to share my experience of wax painting with you all.
Thanks for your interest over the years.
