Cards and Prints now on Etsy

As of yesterday I have opened a shop on Etsy, www.etsy.com, an online site for artists and other craft people. You can now purchase my artwork there at CarolineArnoldArt. (Remember not to put spaces between the letters when you search.) I'm excited to have an easy way for people to see and order my artwork. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Since my last post (more than a year ago! See 2008 posts) I have created new prints. See www.carolinearnoldart.com. More info later.
My New Year's resolution is to post more often on my blog! I'm inspired by a weekend scbwi workshop on cyber promotion organized by Alexis O'Neill. We met at the Santa Barbara Mission Renewal Center (inspiring in itself) and talked nonstop for three days about blogging, tweeting, webbing, and all the myriad ways to become involved in social media. Today I began to update my Facebook page. Tomorrow I'll work on my website. Stay tuned for more!

New Print from Book Illustrations

Baby Koala’s First Climb
Limited Edition Giclee Print, Edition of 200. Signed and numbered.
Printed on archival paper. The art is 10 1/4 by 20 inches with a 1 inch white border.
The original illustration was created in cut paper collage for pages 12-13 of A Koala’s World, written and illustrated by Caroline Arnold, published by Picture Window Books, 2008.

I am in the process of having limited edition gallery quality prints made of some of the cut-paper illustrations I created for the books in the Caroline Arnold’s Animals series published by Picture Window Books. I have started with an illustration from A Koala’s World. The quality of the scan is impressive. Even though the paper is flat, it retains the three-dimensional quality of the layered paper of the original art.  To purchase a print of “Baby Koala’s First Climb”, go to www.carolinearnoldart.com for a link to my Etsy gallery.

I will add more art to this blog as I continue to have prints made of illustrations from the other books in the series. If you have a particular illustration that you would like to have a print of, please email me to let me know.
The following books are in the series.
Black and White Animals: A Panda’s World, A Penguin’s World, A Killer Whale’s World, and A Zebra’s World.
Australian Animals: A Koala’s World, A Kangaroo’s World, A Platypus’ World, and A Wombat’s World.
