Sans frais ... gratuitement.. that means free!

Here's another little morsel of design work free, free, free for now.... inspired by little apple pieces left on our cutting board -

it's a little pillow box that you can make with original digital patterns I created. Download the template, print it out on heavy cardstock, fold at edges, fill with something tiny, sweet, and tasty and give it away to your favorite person. It will look something like this when finished:



I'm putting cat nip in mine, and giving it to our old feline friend, who has endured some recent toddler mishandling.

A little behind on my own imposed deadline of free art every Friday... due to a busy week full of hobby train shows and spending time helping a new chicken adjust to our backyard (the other girls are giving her the cold shoulder, with an occasional loud SQUAWK, and she won't come out unless she hears our voices.)

Ready to Join this Century

... well, mostly. I'm currently sitting next to a cute Kelsey Excelsior letterpress that I'm borrowing from a printer friend, but the rollers are being recast after some time spent in a cold barn. I'm not packing up the ink canisters or anything.

That said... I'm going digital, baby!

It was inevitable, and my leap is your fortune. While I'm still a newbie at publishing my digital designs, I'm offering FREE downloads of my work. My goal is to have something posted every Friday, so check back often. Print it out, hang on your wall. Eventually the give-aways will end, but for now, please enjoy!

Today I'm offering this leaping lion I created for a toddler's birthday card from an original painting.
