I have always loved to draw with words and so I have decided to challenge myself to share at least one illustration of a quote each week with you, my dear readers.  Today's quote is from H. Jackson Brown Jr., "When you can't change the direction of the wind - adjust your sails."

All of my illustrations will be free for your personal use. To download the full size picture you can visit this link. Please attribute where you got them from if you share.

Hope you have an inspired Tuesday!

get out the vote for Favoring Brave!

Favoring Brave's booth at a recent show in Tulsa.

Hi friends!

I think it's horribly obnoxious how companies think it's a good idea to do every contest by voting now, but it is what it is. I am writing you today to ask a favor - to vote for me in a competition to win a free booth space for my business, Favoring Brave, at a huge show in the hometown, Tulsa, Ok.

Here is the link to vote on Facebook - make sure you're logged in to vote. Just two clicks!

https://apps.facebook.com/contestshq/contests/319377/voteable_entries/66789017

A little bit about what this means - I currently work full time as an artist, but that is becoming harder and harder to do. It looks like I might have to go back to work if I don't find some more avenues to share my work with potential buyers. This show could save the full time status of my business, as I would be able to be a vendor at this show 4 times a year after having been accepted this once through winning. Someone virtually has to die to make space in this show and this is my  ONE shot!

Please vote. It take one click on the link and one click on my entry - Favoring Brave by Jill Simons. Also, please consider sharing this with YOUR friends. Together, we can make this happen.

Hello crafty friends! I am so excited to announce the beginning of a rockin' new online magazine for indie crafters and makers  - Craftfairology.com! 

Craft Fair-ology, or CFO for short, will be an expanded version of my weekly column that started right here on Favor the Brave and will cover all aspects of craft fair selling, making, display, and business for the indie artist. 

We are just getting our feet on the ground right now, so things are in the works all over the place, but we want your help! Whether you're a newbie with questions or a seasoned regular with lots of experience, we'd love to have you contribute to the treasure trove of crafty knowledge!
