Celtic Knot Autoharp String Pendant Survey

Celtic Knot G-String PendantWell with all the strings I break, especially at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival this year. I must've gone through 20-30 strings. So when I met a woman at MiddleFaire who could take one string and convert them into a Celtic knot, I knew I had to make more of these.

So the question is open. Would you be interested in an Celtic Knot Autoharp String Pendant?

If so, how much would you be willing to pay?

Unfortunately, the cost to make is not cheap. So I need to see if this worth while.

We Have Totes and Tees!

I forget when we first released this t-shirt. I guess it was in 2003 maybe? Or was it 2004?

Whenever it was the T-shirt design was created by Nikki O'Shea of Dragonpress Graphics. We met Nikki several years ago at I-Con, a Sci Fi Convention on Long Island. We loved her work and asked if she would be interested in making a Brobdingnagian Bards Comic. She agreed.

Nikki began the comic using lyrics from Randy Farran's song "Do Virgins Taste Better". And if you're wondering why there's a unicorn in this story, you'll have to read the comic.

Nevertheless, it went over so well that she decided to design a T-shirt. The t-shirt sold out shortly after printing it. We made a second printing. THAT one sold out. Then she designed a 2006 shirt for us. And while "Dreams Are Made of Music" went over great, everyone kept asking for This Shirt.

At long last, *whew*, we reprinted the shirt. This time, we added in baby doll shirts for the ladies. The shirts were printed by Lunatic Fridge and they look fantastic!

Oh! And we also printed some Tote Bags too, which is Awesome, because my old Tote Bags are really worn out.

You Can Help Me Raise Money for My Next Cat CD

"To Love Is Human, To Purr Divine"

I love my kitties with a passion. Working at home, I spend a lot of time with them, and they spend a lot of time with me.

In fact, in February 2006, I caught them napping together, paws tossed over one another taking a simple cat nap. They were adorable. So I grabbed my camera and *snap*. I captured a beautiful image and saved it to my computer.

Later that day, I was inspired. I sat down on my long antique couch. Not the best place to paint, but it's comfortable. I printed a copy of the image and started painting. I was amazed by the finished item. It kinda touched me. I love this painting.

As much as I love it, I feel I must part with it for a bigger cause. You see, it is time for me to start planning the follow-up CD to Irish Drinkings Songs for Cat Lovers. That album was not inexpensive to make. I expect this album to cost $6,000-10,000 to make. Yeah. Not pretty. I don't have that kind of money. So I need to start raising money to pay for the new CD. Yes, I have new Celtic Cat Wooden Mugs to help me in my goal. But it's not enough.

Because of this financial difficulty, I decided it is time to put my favorite painting, "To Love Is Human, To Purr Divine" up for sale.

But I am not just making this available for any old purpose. All the money earned from this painting will go towards the release of my next Celtic Cat Lovers CD. This is for the die hard cat lover, and the sooner I get this sold, the quicker I can start production on the album. In September, I start looking for a producer. So stay tuned.

"To Love Is Human, To Purr Divine" is a one-of-a-kind acrylic painting on canvas. It is 12" x 91/4" and currently still on its frame.

Buy Cat Portrait: $2500
