Wooden You Love to be in Paris?!

Today I have to give a shoutout to Scott of The Porkchop Shop on Etsy. Scott is a master of the laser saw and creates the cutest wooden cutouts to use in art. I'm very honored that he used two of my digital scans in his Paris French wooden tiles set. Scott says that if you want to use any of his wood pieces for jewelery, he'll even do the hole drilling to loop your chain or ribbon through. Scott's Etsy banner describes his shop as "Trinkets and Art Parts for Post-Mushroom Cloud Living." If that line alone doesn't convince you what a character he is, take time to read his profile for some more laughs:)

 

I won't be so trite as to say he had me from "hello," but "Versailles" definitely demanded my attention:

"Imagine an artist blessed with a virtuosity rivaling the prissy court painters of Versailles. Imagine an artist rummaging through time discovering the lost thoughts of Lascaux cave painters..."

Steampunk gears, crowns, Alice in Wonderland cutouts, dolls, door knockers, butterflies, keys (the door kind and typewriter keys, too) vintage tickets -- even aviation instrument parts. You'll find all that and more at Scott's shop.

And now, I wanna give a shoutout to myself cause I actually accomplished one of my New Year goals -- already, for real! Yes, I created a Facebook page for FrenchKissed. I understand that some of you are averse to Facebook. I understand! Over the holidays, The Hubby and I watched "Social Network," the story about how Facebook was created. My chest had a knot of anxiety the whole time I was watching it. Something about watching Harvard students have sex in bathrooms, snort cocaine and be obsessed with status really disturbed me! I seriously considered deleting my personal page.
But as one friend told me, "We stay on Facebook so we can communicate with our kids." Pitiful, I know, but .. the truth.
And also, to be honest, I'm hoping that Facebook can give my business the exposure it needs, so that folks can find me!
I plan to use the Facebook site to post and share links to all sorts of things: French items in the news, Etsy treasuries -- just little quick tidbits and fun reads. So if you are on Facebook, please "Like" me and share my page with your friends!
