I have trouble finding good material for the minis for this time of year. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Autumn in general are represented by large gourds, large leaves, large birds… You get the idea, Fall is about things that have grown all the rest of the year.
The other day I found a package of this really busy design, but I liked the simple colors (besides I have to support the Oregon State Beavers whenever possible). Here it is mounted on one of my new cards.
Yesterday I had the awesome opportunity to introduce myself and my approach to the miniatures to the owner of the local kite shop that I had stopped off at last month. She had come in to the day job to ask about some work she was interested in having done at her shop, and once we were done discussing her project I took the liberty to show some pictures. Later on, again after the work was done, I took the opportunity to show off the pictures to her store manager.
They are interested in having a better look at the kites, so I need to make some time for cards and mail out some kites. I also ordered in some plastic sleeves, I have been dragging my feet on that for some dumb reason.
I was energized by the progress, but an hour and a half Scout Committee meeting that took two and a half hours sapped me of most of my energy. I’ll try again tonight after the Troop meeting.
