Hello friend! Have you ever tried shipping a photo or piece of artwork in a frame with glass in it? It is NOT pleasant, and the chance of breakage is ginormous - ugh! Not to mention how pricey those fancy-shmancy foam lined artwork boxes can be...(and wasteful!)

Anyhoo, please allow me to save you from all that unpleasantness by sharing with you how I packed up four glass framed drawings this week using all upcycled packaging materials - yay - upcycled, my favorite!!

I'm so thrilled to have more works going to my friend Ben Seller's art gallery, Willis & Sellers Gallery, in Tryon, NC. I had a few Goddess portraits hanging there last year and now I'm hoping to find some new homes for these life drawings in their lovely new frames (charcoal and white chalk on toned paper).
