A Whole New World

Well, as you can probably guess, I've been a little busy lately...  Ever since the Christmas season hit, I've just been playing catch-up with orders and requests.  However, this has led to a new and exciting venture!  My wood burning has expanded to include doing business signs!  Two orders have been filled, a third is in progress and I just got an inquiry for a fourth!  The first you should be able to see soon in downtown Corvallis in the window of Browsers' Bookstore.  The second, you'll have to attend some Renaissance Faires to see, as it has gone to a corset maker's business called 'Damsel in this Dress'.  The third could possibly end up being in more than 100 offices if they so choose to order that many.  Once I get the first one done, I'll find out how many more they want!  Whew!  So much happening!

I'm keeping up with events as well.  I've already done the Oregon Logging Conference this year and this Saturday, the 23rd, I'll be at the Clackamas Tree School event at the Community College.  The summer will of course be packed with Renaissance Faires including the Canterbury Faire in Silverton Oregon in July and the Shrewsbury Faire in Kings Valley Oregon in September.  I'm still waiting to find out about the Sherwood Fantasy Faire in Sherwood Oregon and the new Oregon Renaissance Faire in Hillsboro Oregon.  For that last one, it all depends on whether or not they'll let me vend for just a few of the weekends, as it runs for 6 in a row!  Could be fun, though!

I'm still taking special order for smaller pieces, it just may be a little bit more of a wait than it used to be.

So there you go!  All updated with the new and exciting adventures in wood burning!  I hope to post here somewhat regularly again, but I can't make any promises. :)  So, if you want to keep up with what's going on in the wood burning world, you can visit my Facebook page at 'Great Jesspectations' or go to my new website at www.greatjesspectations.com
