I only have one question.  What took them so long?   I have a couple of Cafepress ones, but given I've only got basic shops, this hardly satisfied my thirst to do more.  Now, here it is.  I'm already charging ahead.  I've already got Teddy Bears and Horses up! 



And just to top it off they have free shipping with code: ORNAMENTSHIP

Here Comes Halloween!

Ready for Halloween all you horse lover's out there?

...Ghostly Horses, Spooky Jack 'O' Lanterns, Scary Horseman



After months of being too busy learning web design to post, I suddenly looked up and Halloween was on the way in! So I've been frantically working on Halloween designs, spooky horses to bring fun this season. 


New Designs:

I've added in:

An adorable clydesdale foal carrying a trick or treat bag with a jack o lantern on his head.

A pair of ghostly haunting horses gallop through a graveyard with glowing jack o lanterns.

A chestnut pony canters through the pumpkin patch.

A paint horse runs in the fog.

A spooky rider charges a black spanish barb through the dark.


Halloween Horse


Back up after being down for months:

The halloween pinto with spooky white markings, black cat mask.

A shying palomino reacting to a trick or treater dressed like a ghost.


Wouldn't this adorable halloween teddy wearing a clydesdale with bag make a great contest prize for a kid's halloween party? How about decorating the stable with these cute halloween horse mugs from ? 

And don't forget the zazzle party invitations.  Looking to ride with halloween spirit? Try out a horsey halloween sweatshirt or t-shirt.  Great stuff for door prizes, raffles or just for fun.


Also FREE Halloween Horse Desktop Wallpaper Designs: more coming soon.



Battling Breakthroughs at Zazzle

Posted on February 27, 2010 at 3:48 PM Comments comments (0)

Finally! Access to an art program with png and transparencies. The world of Zazzle choices opens up as suddenly I can make the designs look good on nearly anything! It's a bit slow, learning a new program. Then there is the whole, start on photoshop 5 (yeah, very old) on mac, save to flash drive, run down to try in pc program (GIMP) . Fight to open the file for unknown compatibility issues, tweak, save, run back up to mac to upload to mac and hope I didn't miss a spot to erase or make a 'newbie to the program' mistake. If I did then I have to do it all again! PC is not connected to the 'net yet. In addition I only have 1 mouse for the 2 computers. :roll:


But here are the newbies: Easter Arab Foal surprised by the bunny and Easter Appaloosa Foal surrounded by eggs are now on products at Zazzle: mugs, t-shirts etc. Also new wild fighting stallions are up and old designs are being revamped with transparencies for more options.


At Greeting Card Universe Saint Patrick's cards are going up and there are lots of Easter cards in the store. Horses and Teddy Bears of course. Check them out on the holiday products page! I'm working frantically to get them up in spite of all the technical and logistical issues. (Including being away from the computer(s) for far too long.


And to any horse lovers' watching keep an eye out for the lates BLM activities. The continued protesting continues to have an effect on the roundups planned. A march is planned in Washington D.C for march 25 if anyone is interested. If you love wild horses at all, if you care about what the government does with your money, let them know by researching the issue for yourself and taking a stand for wild horses. We aren't just bleeding hearts: we have done our homework, and this is wrong. Check out http;//www.thecloudfoundation.org They always seem to have the latest on roundups and petitions.

Art and Technical problems.

As usual more stuff is in the works.  Lots of horses, including a Selle Francais. Some delay in posting but I have uploaded a bunch new to Zazzle and Greeting card universe to finish.  There are some technical problems: I'm trying to shift files from my beloved imac to a pc, as the imac doesn't have full access to some websites anymore.  But the pc doesn't like the files, though they are standard formats.  I feel like I'm living in the mac commercial as the outdated mac does things easily the newer pc is having problems with...You are not giving me a good intro Windows...

Horses! Dogs! Unicorns! Dragons!

New!     Pug lovers-it's here.  Our first ever Pug.  This fun smooshed face dog is cuddled by the teddy bear.  Some versions say "Can I keep it?" (Is this the bear wanting the pug or the pug wanting the teddy? You decide!)  This version is a golden tan, but should soon be offered in other variations.

   

    Don't forget for cute to check out that clown teddy bear.


    Check out the dragons, the latest is an awesome red/white/gray one modified for different colors. There is also a unicorn.


    These awesome designs are available on mugs, t-shirts, binders, tote bags and even stamps and matching greeting cards.  For more fun pick your holiday.  You'll find a variation of the pug and bear available in christmas, valentine's day and easter versions. 

    So hurry in and look around for your favorite person's christmas gifts.  More added all the time.


Designs are done in color pencil, marker and photoshop, modified for different products and seasons.

New Holiday Animals

Posted on December 2, 2009 at 1:22 PM Comments comments (0)

New!  I've added more new holiday products to the website, so now all the new Zazzle and Greeting Card Universe offerings are together.  So far there is a new shire colt, a new friesian colt and my first ever dog offering.  An adorable white Bichon Frise cuddles with a teddy bear.  Look for them on cards, scrapbooks, mugs-even stamps!.  The dog is also available on apparel, and I plan to do the horses on some shirts too-soon.  Stay tuned.


Remember Zazzle products can be customized so if you like the picture and want it on another shirt, mug, etc. it will probably be available.  Greeting card Universe cards can be customized inside.


Some of these adorable illustrations have been or will be adapted for other holidays too.  I'm not ready to post for Valtentine's Day on this site yet, but both the Bichon Frise and the Friesian are already being offered.


So check out the Holiday Products Page and start Christmas Shopping!

    Three: items of note for my website.  First: I guess I have to add my new product news here instead of myspace. Myspace has very rudely, with no warning, decided my aging browser is not good enough.  And I can’t upgrade.  I am very angry at those behind these internet concerns who think everyone can upgrade and the heck with loyal customers that can’t.  I’m sure in this down economy I’m not the only one with the problem.  Yet perhaps because they are working specifically in the computer industry they can’t relate to those of us who don’t have access.  What to do but e-mail and object?


My Facebook Page   is here, I may start posting there instead.

Second.  My zazzle offerings have expanded and now include dragons.  Keep in mind the zazzle stuff is customizable.  You can add someone’s name or change the style of item it’s on.  If I haven’t gotten around to making it fit, let me know and I’ll see if I can  get it too.  The Appaloosa’s are going, up, one saddlebred is going up and I have some paint horses in progress.  This all depends of course on being allowed to continue without interference by those who could lock out my browser.  I’ve even done some stamps-but like the greeting card universe offerings expect a wait before they are posted.  I don’t foresee any issues getting approval.

Paint horses are in progress.  The Dragons look terrific on steins and mugs. It may take awhile to resize them for all items as I didn't do them with that in mind.  There is a lovely appaloosa binder, perfect for any horse lover and lots of new teddy bears.

Third. My non item info is probably going to move to my wordpress blog due to sheer necessity.   Look there for more horse stories, inspirations and wild horse info.
