Ok, so who thought that preordering was such a great idea for my little business?! I have never done it before b/c I didn’t have a good system of holding people’s orders, and didn’t have a way to show people the gift baseball designs I make before they are ready for sale. But that has all changed now for 2 main reasons: 1. By showing people on my instagram/ facebook page the flat artwork for my baseballs, they can see what the ball will look like even though it is out flat. 2. With a wordpress site, I can take a pic of my flat artwork and post it with my baseballs on my site- I don’t have to wait for...
Congrats to the WS champs SFGiants! What a great world series- for the Royals too- everyone played their hearts out and should be proud. Offering my Kauffman Stadium ball for presale (should be ready to ship first week of December) also got in the Blue Jays Rogers Centre- great looking park! Happy Halloween!
I was in a mad rush to paint the Royals stadium baseball knowing that they are in the World series- and all the fans would be so excited since the last WS win was 1985. Funny how some stadiums are just a breeze to paint, while others get tricky. The tricky part of this stadium was that I want to paint the name as it appears on the building, as the 'outer panel' on the ball. But for Kauffman, they just put up a beautiful front to their stadium with all this glass, but it is not where it says 'Kauffman' on the building, so I needed to pick the side that had the name written on it. So I painted...
Just a few baseballs I painted- they help to keep around and laugh at when things are crazy here!What's new: Working on new designs as fast as I can! We have Blue jays stadium coming in stock soon, and I just finished Progressive Field and Turner Field. Trying to<!--more--> get a Royals stadium and a Jeter ball in before the end of the year- I'll keep you posted!Staying up til like 1am painting- think collectable baseballs would be faster to make if I wasn't spending so much time getting the little details right, but the perfectionist in me can't let them go! Hoping to have pics to show soon!
