AT LAST ....after many many delays, we are finally
up and offering for sale on Ebay. It has been a long time from
site opening to being available for sale, and that's for a number
of reasons.
ebay
pages for sale
Firstly I didn't want to offer for sale until I was
satisfied that the prints were the BEST we could possibly get.
Many papers, resolutions, and inks were tried till I was finally
happy. Also painting methods have been changed so the actual painting
is rendered many times bigger than the actual page to and shrunk
to fit to preserve detail as MUCH as possible.
Then we took photo's of the finished pages so that
people can get some idea of what they are bidding on, you can
find them here please be aware that
the quality of pages does NOT accurately show through a photograph.
These are here just to give you a more accurate view of what you
are bidding on.
Several test sets were printed and sent out to Witches
that I know for opinions BEFORE we offered for sale, and every
single one LOVED them. They were more inclined though to frame
them for some reason than to put them in their books.
We have also faced delays due to personal problems,
myself and my husband have recently started IVF treatments, and
find ourselves shunting backwards and forwards to and from the
hospital at odd times. Hopefully now we will be more settled and
the mad rush to open is now behind us.
As you will no doubt already have seen ALL the pages
have been given a reworking and the Rituals page has been redone
quite a lot. They have all been added to the site in thumbs and
in larger and detail views..
I do apologize for the copyright measures on the images,
unfortunately it was brought to my attention that people were
printing out the views for their Book of Shadows rather than wait
to purchase them from me.
For that reason I had to tighten my copy protect measures
so...sorry about that. All pages now have passed my rigid printing
tests and we now have six all printed out ready to be photographed
for auction...great stuff!!
So keep an eye out for them...
I am now working on the seventh page design which I
can now tell you will be titled Sabbats :)
After many many many different printing tests, using
all kinds of paper, inks, resolutions, and brightness I am now
totally satisfied with 5 of the 6 prints. They have been changed
as in order to get a sharper and clearer image we needed to print
them at the HUGE size and resolution I paint them in.
Otherwise they just aren't as sharp and clear, them's
the breaks unfortunately and I'm glad that I now have some print
outs I feel confident I can offer for sale.
Over this next week I will be scanning in the actual
pages so we can show you want they look like on paper, so you
have a good idea what you will be buying prior to bidding.
I will be also updating all the images on the site
to correspond with the new and improved image borders and scrolling.
Sadly one page didn't make the cut, and that was the
Rituals and Esbats one, for some obscure reason the PC doesn't
recognize it as a huge file which causes all kinds of trouble
in the printing stage.
I have decided to completely rework it and hopefully
by the end of next week all six will be available to buy on E
Bay.
So What's New Then...
Well to be honest pretty much everything :), I am if
you haven't pretty much guessed already a new bushiness so please
feel free to have a really good look around because EVERYTHING
is new.
I'm hoping that everything works well and correct,
please forgive me if a few links miss.
I will get to them as soon as I notice, as you can
imagine it has been a busy and hectic couple of months to get
this all set up :).
How's it going to work then
Well to try and stop customers having to search the
whole site, just to see if I am offering any new artwork I thought
I'd use a news page to post any info on. Because we are new now
ALL the pages are new.
For future reference though I will post thumbs of all
new pages in the column on the right. I have placed a few of the
pages there to illustrate how this will look. Helpful as ever
that's me.
I will be looking into a mailing list of some sort,
and will post details in a later news. So that about wraps it
up....hope you like the artwork
Hugs and Squishes Elise
