Now this box is for holding little decorations and decals that I had picked up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/tranquil-solace.com\/photos\/artstuff\/blogflowerbox2.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"378\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My decals!  No wonder scrapbooking is so popular, all the little embellishments for it are so dang cheap!<\/p>\n<p>So I took another crack at making business cards and following <a href=\"http:\/\/finni.fourthewin.org\">Finni&#8217;s<\/a> advice, added some artwork to the card design.<\/p>\n<p><!--more [ Read More &#10140; ]--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/tranquil-solace.com\/art\/junk\/2010\/cardexperiment4.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"525\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t get more personal than drawing chibi caricatures of oneself!  Especially slightly pissed ones!  Thinking I might change the black and white background on the backside of the card and use the gray-black patterned background that&#8217;s on the front instead.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/tranquil-solace.com\/art\/junk\/2010\/cardexperiment3.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"525\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I really like this second design!  I hope it isn&#8217;t extra expensive to custom cut rounded cards, haven&#8217;t seen many people with cards like this.  Better get these printed and see how they come out. <\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, I&#8217;ve started working on a new website layout.  Inspired by a blog post by the artist <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ashen-ray.com\/2010\/08\/29\/paradise-5\/\">Shilin<\/a> I&#8217;m going to put up a little test page at <a href=\"http:\/\/tranquil-solace.com\/ts3\">http:\/\/tranquil-solace.com\/ts3<\/a> , I think I may actually go and tweak the layout in photoshop for a little bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So related to my secret project I went and did a little shopping at the dollar store&#8230; So as part of the project I need a box to hold money in.
