Uprooting

I made this piece a few months ago and it is finally happening! We are uprooting!

I am looking forward to a fresh start. We will have room to move, enough land for a real garden, lots of rooms for friends to visit, and a huge awesome art apartment that will house my studio and room for friends to stay and play! It is all happening! I have been so so so fortunate over the years to have a husband that supports us and allows to me soar with my creative self. The building in Downtown Manitowoc (it is for sale by the way) is awesome and it was a dream I never thought would happen, but it is time to move on. To live in peace and quiet and be a little more in touch with simplicity and sustainability. To shed these unfounded feelings of inadequacy that seemed to have re-enter my life when we moved back here. I am thinking it may have to do with being super duper bullied when I grew up here?...darn bullies. I liked... no loved the small town warm fuzzy I felt all the time in Baraboo and had a few of those moments here that I will cherish forever but overall there was more fight than flourish for me. I don't want to fight anymore I want to live and enjoy life!

 I will post lots and lots of pictures when we do move and I will be sure to let everyone know when the studio is set up and ready for you all to come and play! I am thinking classes will start again in April and am taking all requests now! What do you want to learn and who do you want to learn it from? I have so many friends all over the country who may come to teach you if they know you want to learn from them so name names of those mixed media superstars! I want an excuse to bring them here and you can help. :)

Happy New Year!

Dude how great is this moustache? New this year is digital copies of my images!!! How fun is this? You buy the image from my etsy shop.... See the left side bar....and then use it for whatever you want. Kind of like buying really cool clip art. But there is a twist. I will show you fun things to do with the clip art right here on the blog! Some of the ideas off the tip top of my head?????....tattoos, invitations, screen printing, journal pages, scrapbooking, cardmaking, prints for you and friends, water slide decals, print on fabric, oh man the ideas are ENDLESS! So $5 buys you that image for personal use but what if you want to use the image to SELL tshirts or coffee mugs? No problem. I have got you covered. Message me and I will create a listing for small business use for only $20! Why more? Well because you will be making money off my creation and I think that deserves a little more than $5...it's only fair. And then if you are a big time company who produces large quantities of great looking products you can contact me for Full Rights to the images! My email is gkgeiser@yahoo.com just in case there are any big time places reading this right now. :) All that I ask of you my lovely blog readers and customers, is that if you do buy an image please do not share it with friends....send them to my Etsy. I can't keep doing all of this without the money love and if it goes well I really want to start a website of my very own!

The reason I got this big surge of motivation is that we are moving!!!! We found a dreamy little...well big...mid-century gem just 20 miles from Manitowoc on the outskirts of a little village on Lake Michigan. Because we still own the property on N 8th in Manitowoc the budget will be a little tight and it is a whole lotta house to furnish so I need your help. For the cost of a latte you can buy my art now in a new and modern format. Think of this as clip art or a digital rubber stamp. As I prepare to move I will also be listing original art and jewelry in my Etsy. So help a girl out will ya? I promise to be eternally grateful to you. xxxxxxx
