This was my first watercolor. The friend who had been encouraging me to paint did landscapes and florals, and since I figured landscapes would require green and I didn't like green, I elected to try a floral. Who would know if a petal was out of place? Having had no lessons in watercolor, I had no idea how to use it, so I just dipped the brush directly into the tubes of paint and added water to it once it was on the paper if it seemed too dark. I still don't how how it's "supposed" to be done, because I've avoided taking any classes that might take the mystery, and therefore the fun, out of it for me. I just do whatever works at the time. Painting for me is a "correccidental" process: if it works the first time, it's and accident, and if it doesn't work, I just correct until it does. All in all I as pretty happy with the color and looseness of this first effort.

Forms

I have catalogs full of standard forms for businesses of all kinds, including forms that are specific to certain businesses like restaurant and automotive. Forms come in a variety of sizes and can be 1-part, or multiple parts with either carbon or carbonless pages. They can be formatted to fit popular software printing requirements and customized with your company logo and contact information. Consecutive numbering is optional.

Sometimes the information you want on a form hasn't yet been created and put in a catalog. In that case I can create completely custom forms that will satisfy your unique needs.

Labels

When it comes to labels, there is a vast variety of sizes from postage stamp sized full color photo stickers to bumper stickers and even those huge stickers you see advertising things on the floors at the grocery store, in a vast variety shapes, stocks, inks, and adhesives. Here again, I get out my catalogs and see if we can find what you need. If we can't, we try to invent it.

Invitations & Announcements

Weddings, graduations, all kinds of special events--from formal to merely fancy to casual to downright off the wall. Sure, there are some standard options available in my catalogs, but I can't rememer the last time anybody chose that over designing something much more personal. And of course, the wacky ones are the most fun!

Stamps

Rubber stamps, self-inking stamps, pre-inked stamps, daters and numberers, special inks and pads, notary seals...lotsa lotsa stamps are available in stock and custom designs. You can get your signature made into a stamp, or your logo, or your pet possum's footprint...

Tags & Tickets

Name tags, hang tickets, price tags, door hangers, bottle hangers--tickets can be custom printed and hole punched with or without wire tires, plastic pull locks, or elastic string, in assorted stocks and sizes. Raffle tickets and event tickets are available numbered and perfed.

Imprinted...

The list goes on forever: gift certificates, business checks, napkins, coasters, matchbooks, index tabs, Post-It notes, menu covers, check presenters, report covers and other binders, mouse pads, plastic bags, balloons, pens, pencils, cups, mugs, water bottles, magnets, pre-paid phone cards...you can even get your kids' pictures printed on a deck of playing cards for everybody on your Christmas list! Engraved name badges, table tents, and signs....

Etc.

I'm sure there's more--you fill in the blank.
