New Site design for ShoClothes.com!

I have recently re-designed the Sho Clothes website for Michele Hundt. New color themes are in use along with CSS for faster page loads. The site has also been upgraded to XHTML Transitional.

Sho Clothes has recently opened it’s new “Sho Clothes / Sho Room” in Wellington, Florida. The website features photos from the Sho Room and many wonderful new dressage apparel items. The site also now boasts online shopping carts for popular dressage accessories such as Stock Ties, Stock Pins, Gloves and more.

Now Available - Kelli’s NEW BOOK!

From Creating Art to Creating Income
Marketing Tip for the Visual Artist



“How did you get started selling your artwork?” That is the question that inspired me to write this book. It is a question I have been asked many times over the years. Whether self-schooled or traditionally taught, most amateur artists have been taught little about how to generate income from their work. This book contains a wealth of helpful tips, interwoven with life philosophy, designed to inform and inspire. I cover traditional marketing methods such as art festivals and gallery shows along with modern ecommerce approaches to selling artwork like websites and online auctions. Packed full of helpful information, this book is sure to inspire any artist ready to take the plunge into “earned income” from his or her own creations!

This book is now available through Kelli Swan’s Book Storefront. In coming weeks the book will be available through my website and also all the major booksellers like Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

Dog Sympathy Card - Pet Loss Sympathy Cards

I would like to introduce my latest design and offering: Pet Sympathy Cards! The idea for this project came from a conversation with my sister Chris. She was talking about the difficulty of finding nice pet sympathy cards, when it hit me -- I have the perfect design and message for just such a card.

The outside of the card shows a sleeping dog, and the phrase “Good Night Sweet Prince.” The inside of the card features a saying inspired by my father: “Never say Goodbye. But rather - Until we meet again ... across the Rainbow Bridge.” (I also have cards with the phrase “Good Night Sweet Princess.”)

Now offered through my Sunny Sense Cafe Press Store, these cards are available as pet sympathy cards - greeting card size, or, dog sympathy cards in 10-pack notecard size. You can also purchase "10-packs" of the greeting cards. Feel free to contact me with comments on the cards, or with suggestions for new pet sympathy cards.
