OK, the preparations for the Etsy store are well underway, and we've managed to make a couple of prototypes of things we want to sell. I'd seen wood block prints on Etsy before, and I always wanted to try it. It's not that hard, but it's a bit of work. You take a piece of wood, cut to size, then you sand it, paint it, and attach one of your pictures using "Modge Podge" (A glue and finisher all in one). Then you add 3-4 coats on top of the picture, and you get this nice smooth finish. (The technique is called "decoupage" You can hang it on the wall on balance it on a bookshelf.
We also made some coasters by decoupaging some illustrations onto coasters, then adding some cork on the bottom. Who wouldn't want to put their drinks on these little guys?
