The Alchemists Vessel: What's New In My Shop

I am not currently working on any new items in the shop as to speak. Getting ready for the monthly Market at the local Fair Grounds and Exposition Buildings, in lovely Garden City, Idaho, takes a lot of time and effort when you're a one-woman band.

However, we do have a new shop. It is different from the jewelry I create. Many Moons ago I designed and drew simple and stylized graphic versions of the Zodiac symbols for fun (and I admit, profit). Having forgotten about them, I came across them searching through a computer disk looking for something else. I love it when buried treasure appears out of no where! Not wishing to attempt to stock the house with yet more stuff, but wanting to do something with them, I have opened a cafe press store. You can find it by following the link in this post, or by clicking the "Shop Cafe Press" link in the menu to your right.

The cool thing about Cafe Press is that you can have pretty much any graphic printed on any item you want. There is a huge selection to choose from on the site, from T-shirts to Teddy Bears, Wall Clocks, puzzles, and accessories abound! All printed with the version of your Sun Sign. All twelve signs may be found there and I intend to see about getting other items up for printing or customizing as well. Currently working on a popular motif, Skulls, I'm sketching in a very stylized Rabbit... Below are the twelve designs I created. As public domain, any one may play with and finagle the images. These are mine, and belong to me, and may only be used outside the sales or shop sites with the express written consent of The Alchemists Vessel and the owner, proprietor.

All twelve signs are included. As soon as I figure out how to get these changed or configured to be appropriate art flash for dark material for the site, I'll do that too. Right now they are available in Black Print on Light Shirts and Sweats. Although there are all kinds of items in the shop, from Cell Phone covers to Lap top skins, stationery, stuffed critters, bits, baubles and decor.
