Last weekend for US buyers to buy from my shop any ready to ship clay item, sadly, until a reasonably priced Delivery Duty Paid service comes available via tracked Canada Post. My items are tariff free under CUSMA.

A waxing gibbous moon from last night, looking orange from the haze of the not too distant wildfires in northern Ontario and Manitoba.

I was one of the lucky designers who got kept in the Society6 shake up this year. My sales had slowed a lot since 2022 (I've been on there since 2013). But, I hope this means maybe they'll increase a bit again. One can Hope lol!

The moon is always a pleasure to seek out in the sky, though not always visible at an ideal time, last night was around 11pm and it is a half moon now.
Several days before, it was just a sliver.

My art banner is up, along with the other artists' banners, all Summer along the Owen Sound harbour walking pier!
This is an older acrylic painting I did, circa 2007, "Girl in Quebec", painted from my own photo - I took some artistic licence with her face and likeness.

Decided to cancel my Etsy Plus subscription after having it for 2 years, just not making the sales to justify the cost of it anymore, though I did love having it and the listing credits &added multiple cover photo feature were useful.
