Fish Soup, a Haircut, & Friends of Dragonfly

I got a print from Cynthia Schmidt in the mail today! She sent me Fish Soup, and I have to say, I am really, really impressed with the quality of her product. The print itself is a very clean reproduction of the original painting, and of such high quality, you can see the canvas and every detail. On top of that, her presentation is also very nice. The print came matted and in a sealed celophane "envelope" with a label bearing the name of the piece, a cute little sentence about it, and all her business information. Which is not suprising, but it's a nice detail that I find a lot of small business owners skip. The quality of the print and presentation are very much that of a much larger and more expensive dealer, despite it being highly and easily affordable instead (only $19 for the print, plus a mere $4 for shipping; you can't beat that with a stick). Très impressive! :)

I got the print when I came home from getting my hair cut. I just couldn't take the heat any longer, so I went down and hacked all the hair off the back of my neck, which sets me back at least 6 - 9 months in the length department, which sucks, but the bottom line is that I really could not take the heat of it a second longer. It was too short to pull back, so it just constantly hung against my neck and kept the cool from getting there. I will weep for it later, though. Right now I am too busy enjoying the cool.

By the by, Dragonfly jewelry now has a new Friends of Dragonfly page, for independent artists and craftsmen. In addition to Indigo Art, Sea of Stars is listed.
