Hi Everyone!!
Hope you're all well!!
First, let's talk about the mail! The mail is being delivered across Canada and out of Canada. "Talks" are still going on about everything!
So, technically, you can mail!
But, saying that, if an agreement doesn't come, then Canada post gives a 72 hour notice and a strike could happen. If this does, all mail stops. Even if it's something in transit, the parcel/letter, will sit in a holding area, until the strike is over.
So, really, it's up to you right now, what you want to do. Personally, I am going to keep my shop closed till the end of July and open everything up in August. I might start mailing a couple of things out, that I have been holding on to.
If anything changes, I will let you know, right away.
I finished another aceo (2.5" x 3.5")
"First Kiss"
I finished him! Again, it was a pain taking pictures! The background is more of a pale grey, but in my photos, it kept coming up more blue. I even took the pictures in the shade. I hope it looks ok for all of you! The second picture is more closer to the background colour. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful day! Smile, Dance, Love!!!
Big Hugs!!!
Hope you're all well!!

Your paintings are delightful to look at as always!
ReplyDeleteAs you probably know I've deleted my blog, if you'd like to visit my new and one and only blog I have now, you're welcome to stop by, by clicking on my name.
your crows are so creative and different from so many styles I've seen - i really like these! they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteA mail strike would be a pain, especially for people whose livelihoods depend upon the email getting through. I love you work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pain Canada post is being! I hope it is resolved. Fredrick is awesome, and I love that he's perched on a skull .... what a great painting
ReplyDeleteFirst Kiss is super adorable. Always a cute moment. :) I am loving Frederick! I hope Canada Post can come to an agreement this month. I thought I blocked Canada in my Etsy shops but an order came through overnight. I am going to ship it and keep my fingers crossed!
ReplyDelete"First Kiss" is sooo cute. And "Frederick" looks so stylish.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be dealing rather well with the post office issues. Some of my other friends with online shops in Canada are rather upset.
Frederick is still great!
ReplyDeleteIs the mail thing common? I mean, has it just been lately or is it something people up there have come to expect?
Frederick is so intriguing...love it! And of course First Kiss is adorable... π your paintings make me smile! Have a great week. ;)

ReplyDeleteLOVE Frederick! And think I may risk the mail...at least it will be on it's way XXX
ReplyDeleteFrederick is lovely! The mail strike must be frustrating!
ReplyDeleteFredrick is such a handsome crow - LOL!!! And first kiss is magical!!! You did it again Stacy!!! Canadian post must live in another world than we do - how damaging for the country!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work as always Stacy! Frederick is quite dapper and distinguished!! I love seeing the progress of that piece too! The little additions/subtractions and how it makes the final composition pop. It has to be endlessly frustrating with the mail being on such uncertain ground! I don't think I have had an order to Canada since the issue first came to light but that's to be expected. It's funny how much, despite the "internet age", we still all rely on the mail for so many things.
ReplyDeleteAll the mail will stop? That's not going to be good.
ReplyDeleteI love the baby crows' First Kiss. CUTE!
Mail stoppage is not good for business...anywhere. hat does suck, Stacy. But you are smart and your plan sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love Frederick and how sweet is First Kiss!!!
Take care sweet friend~
Hugs and Much Love
xoxoxo
hat should have been That...dumb computer is acting up again! Or...maybe I should proof read before hitting "send" ;})
Delete"Frederick" and "First Kiss" are wonderful! They are so creative. It definitely can be difficult to get accurate colors sometimes... I'm sorry about the mail situation. I hope it gets positively resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteI really like the background in Frederick's room. The cross hatching/lines with the bit of red and the overall mood. He's a powerful crow. Hope the mail gets back to normal asap.
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy! It's cool with me to wait out the "talks". The mail freaks me out too much even when nothings going on,lol. Love both of your new pieces. I know when I take pics in the shade they always get a blue cast to them too. I have to use the "white balance" feature on the camera especially when taking snow shots in the shade. However, blue is still my fave color!
ReplyDeleteI love how Frederick turned out! He looks so groovy now.
ReplyDeleteFrederick looks so gentlemanly :-) I have been brave and mailed a few things here and there. It's so tough to be on hold!
ReplyDeleteJust saw this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/20/woman-rescued-an-orphaned-crow---and-now-they-are-inseparable/

ReplyDeleteEven with the inaccurate background colours...he is still a star!!!
Lots of Love & Hugs oxoxoxo
