it's raining leads, hallelujah.........

I got up a little early this morning (which for me is BEFORE 5 am) to see what had happened overnight after my first introduction yesterday as a new manufacturer on TODL (Trade Only Design Library, Inc) through one of their email blasts.

I am delighted to say that the leads and contact information are flowing in, and I am busy in my home studio/office right this minute drafting new information to go out to prospective buyers and clients to introduce my work in a hardcopy mailing. These introductory packets often become the basis for a consultant or designer to build a file on a manufacturer or artist, and these leads allow me to follow up and offer information to professionals who are always specifying new projects.

If you would like me to forward you a copy of this introductory email in which my work was featured, please just shoot me an email to judith@judithheartsong.com and you can share in my excitement at this really great feature!

A lot is happening in the studio, I got all three Stacked Stones paintings photographed by Frank Dene, a tremendous photographer and teacher, and easily the most professional person I have ever worked with in getting high resolution images of my work. Those high resolution images will allow me to print giclees and notecards.... coming soon!

I managed to get out of the studio long enough to buy new canvases for more paintings, one 40 x 40 that I already have a gorgeous, heavy frame for will be another stacked stones painting based on river rocks I picked up in that Northeast Pennsylvania stream I was wading in last weekend. I am adding additional coats of gesso to the 40 x 40 canvas and also bought 3 - 12 x 36's for a smaller take on a new set of stacked stones.... along with some tiny 6 x 12's just for fun. (I will have to start sorting through my collection of rocks.) A friend living in San Diego emailed last night to say that my rock collecting was finally paying off:)

I am having so much fun with this new series and look forward to seeing where it will take me.
