A Pink Leaping Bunny Who Could Want More!

My sweet vegan guy and I have been working so hard on my new website...
This pink leaping bunny was supposed to go on t-shirts BUT for now it's my new site header
and I adore it so so much, I feel like it just brings my website to  a whole new beautiful fresh level...

We are doing things a bit differently this time around with my website,

So check out the changes so far, tell me what you think

getting better and better, so far we're done the Home page, Keep In Touch and Contact pages.

Close To New Beginnings

Can you believe it's August already.  In a way, I can't but in a way I can.
 
It's getting close to the most natural season for changes and that's always lovely if you let it be so.
 
August will be my last month blogging here in this space...
For September will see the completion & launch of my brand new beautiful website and I can't wait...
I am bubbling up with excitement and I am also beyond ready for this huge undertaking to be done.
 
 
My beloved blog will be moving to my new site....
I sure do hope you'll follow me over.  I'll let you know when it's time.
 
My newsletter will be changed over to an awesome & much better MailChimp format.
 
My shop may very well be moved from Etsy to my own little online universe as well
but we'll launch come September's beginning even if the custom shop isn't ready.
 
It's funny before I was nervous about it all...now after over a year of working on it all I am SO ready.

Nervousness

I am getting nervous.
Soon my dearest blog will be moving from this blogger space over to my brand new beautiful website
(oh I am just so beyond anxious for you all to see it, we've been working so very hard on it all).
I know it's the right time to move it all over...I know it'll eventually be even better.
BUT I am still nervous.
 
 
According to my analytics an average of 200 people visit me here everyday & I think that's a lot!
When I move over will you all follow me?
Is what I do, show & share here worth the bit of effort of you all refreshing my url etc???
I hope you'll find it worth it.  I hope you'll follow me over...
but I admit I am nervous for sure!

Pssst

Pssst....
 
 
I just wanted to let you know about a few things...
 
1)  we're still working very hard on my new beautiful website
which will be viewable on the mobile web unlike my current site.
I don't know exactly when it'll be ready, it'll probably be another couple of months
BUT we'll get it done as soon as possible...there's quite a bit going into this new one, wow!
 
2)   because we are working so hard on the new site,
I've decided to forgo the archive site I planned for my last exhibition
'Stories, Dreams & In Between'...
there's only so much time in a day after all.
 
3)  My sweet little Etsy shop now accepts Direct checkout,
The usual payment through PayPal is still available and the usual status quo
BUT NOW
Buyers can now make purchases from me with their
credit cards, debit cards or Etsy gift cards.
YAY & WOHOO!

Excited

My web designer/supreme coding genius who also happens to be my bearded honey & I
have been slaving away on a brand new website.
Most of our evenings are taken up by it lately...but that's okay,
it's been about 4 years since the last huge website change.
I was so happy because his response to my shyly saying
"Babe, I LOVE my website still but I feel like it's time for a complete overhaul"
was an excited smile and an immediate "Yes, I agree".
I am so lucky, I tell him what I want & what I need
and he figures out a way to do so & more often than not takes it an even better step further.
 
The new site is going to be so beautiful.
Very sleek, easy to navigate & purchase from and just very very visual.
Oh and accessible on ipads and smartphones and all those new do-das.
 
I am so excited.
 
 
We've been working away for some time now, especially my honey...
It's easy for me to walk in and make my demands
or say 'yes' I like that or 'no' that has to be changed!
It's easy for me to lose my patience because I think something should be easy when it never ever is!
Dear heart has the patience of a saint!
Wait until the time comes when he has to teach me all of the uploading/maintenance/etc part of it...
then his patience really really shines, ha ha.
 
In the meantime,
since I don't know how long this beautiful new site will take exactly.
I am working away on updating my current site.
I'll of course let you know when the update is done...I've fallen behind so there's lots to do.
As always I'll seek your opinions and comments.

New Changes

I am so so pleased and excited to announce that new changes have been made to
my beloved website
I am extremely proud of my site.
(my honey is the web designer/maker supreme & I am so lucky to have his talents mix with mine)
I am over the moon to have it looking better than ever & to be showcasing my work so beautifully.


Do hop on over and have a look around.
There are new rotating intro images...
New works in the What's New section of course...
New studio/about shots have been added...
The newsletter and contact pages have been  updated and streamlined...
and most importantly are the new sections added...
now you'll see a 'photography' section which showcases all of my favourite photos.  
There is a new 'out and about' section which houses all of the fantastic mini-sites
which we conjure up for special arts events that I've participated in.
AND
There is now a 'This and That' section which is home to my dolls, felt work and
soon to showcase jewelry adventures, etc.
 
WOHOO

I am so so pleased with the changes. 
We've been working on it for some time now but I think it was worth  the work and wait.
Do take a few minutes to have a look.
(Make sure to clear your Internet cache or simply hit ctrl+5 if your using Internet Explorer)
and if you've another few minutes leave me a message and tell me what you think.

Thanks Everyone.

I've been laid up in bed with a seized up back...
but it's all good, ha ha because I am getting lots of new felt goodies made...
and catching up on older movies I've been wanting to see.

Birds Of A Feather Archive Website

We've been working long, hard and furiously on completing
and now it's done and awaiting your perusal....
There are many photographs of the Installation, The Opening & The Artwork itself.
There's also 3 videos...
1 is a visual tour of the exhibition,
the 2nd is an interview with yours truly
whiles showing beautiful landscapes we filmed from around our home
and the 3rd is an art talk about several piece in the show.


It's perfect for those of you who wanted to see my exhibition but just couldn't...
and for those who did see it but want to have another gander.

We are simply over the moon with it.

and I must say, once again, that I am completely luck filled and honored to have a honey-pie who tirelessly and most beautifully lends and blends his talents with me and mine....WOW.

A site I will cherish always.

p.s The 3 videos are also available in HD on YouTube as well....

See you next week

A New Mini Promo Site For Art On Main...

Instead of showing you a new picture this Wednesday, I couldn't wait to show you this new jem. My handsome & brilliant sweetie made another mini promo site for me. This one circles my involvement with Art On Main & our move to a new location this past June. It is of course for me & my business so therefore central to me & my work but I also think Jonathan did a nice job of highlighting the collective as a whole. I love how Jon made my decorative birdies into the buttons & he even included all the video from our opening night in cool little chaptered sections...

Jonathan put so much work & time into this...I always tell him not to but he says he enjoys doing these type of things for me & my business & well I sure do enjoy them as well...they are wonderful interactive photo albums that I can go back to when I want to remember a certain event. The first promo site that Jonathan did for me was for my solo exhibition in 2009 & it can be found here or on my sidebar.

I'd sooo appreciate you taking the time to check this new beauty out, browse around, have a look & than come back here & tell us what you think...we'd so appreciate any feedback, thanks everyone:D....and of course above all the biggest thanks to my sweets.

My Brand New Website Is Ready and Up....

I am beyond excited and proud to announce the arrival and completion of The New Home to "Bijou's Whimsy" my brand new website ...it's up and ready for your visits and viewing.

It's been a year in the making. It's been a big job for me. It's been an insanely huge job for my partner and web-maker supreme, Jonathan...who besides extreme talent also showed immense patience, as I know I was a very difficult and demanding client, ha ha!

And I can't think of a better day to finally launch it, than today, on my 32nd birthday:D...wow! I've yet to see another artist's website with the search capabilities that Jonathan has built in for me on this beautiful site of mine...wow, it's all mine:D...WOW!...

Well back to my birthday festivities:D It has indeed been a wonderful and amazing day...and again, please do leave your comments and feedback about the site and also please do pass the link around if you think it's as fabulous as we do:D, ha ha. WAHOOOOOOO!!!!!:D
