A new look for my Friends/Fans page
Rather than wait to be pushed, I've thrown myself into the lake of fire that is the new Facebook fan page reboot. Not so bad -- mainly because I already took the plunge for my personal page.
Have you changed over your personal page or your fan page, or are you going kicking and screaming into that good night? Let me know on mah fancy new page.
Artfest 2012/ opening ceremonies
(Please excuse the weird photo posting; I'm doing this from my phone.) Tonight's Artfest activities: fast & furious trading of little gifties or "trades." Carrie Clayden's the woman in the cowboy hat (and tutu!) with my trade -- a scratch-off ticket (in a Bag o' Art Stuff) which gave people a shot at winning a free mini-collage.
Carrie didn't win -- see the sad, sad, sad face --but guess who did? Tristan Tartaglia! (See happy, happy, happy face.) More photos on my Twitter feed.
You may already be a winner
Yes, kids, it's possible to use Pinterest to do more than decorate a house you can't afford or plan a wedding that'll never happen, as some have said. A great idea from Mitsy at Artmind inspired me to give away a mini-collage at Artfest!
I made twenty scratch-off lottery tickets as part of my goodie-bag trades for Artfest, using the back of my business cards.
Don't ask me which card is the lucky winner -- even I don't know at this point. All I know is that I likely wouldn't have found this gem of an idea if it weren't for Pinterest. If you liked this idea, follow my "Oh so clever" board over there.
Yes, Pinterest can be a time suck. But the ArtBiz blog has a thought-provoking post by guest blogger Beth J. Hayden about how artists can use Pinterest constructively. See, I've already saved you time you'd otherwise waste! 'Cause I'm a giver.
If you're going to Artfest, make sure you look for me -- trades go fast, especially on Wednesday night!
One lucky person will fish out a coin and scratch away to find the magic word: "WINNER!" As long as they find me again by Saturday night, that person will receive one of the collages shown in my last post! Yup. The collages in the gallery are going for $50, but this one's free.
