Just an announcement that you can now find Ty Randall Creations products in the Flemington New Jersey Borders Books and Music store. They are carrying my local New Jersey postcards and hand-made photo bookmarkers. The Flemington Borders store is currently the third retail location and second Borders store to carry my products - East Brunswick was first, but they closed in January 2008, and Watchung was next.
As you can see from the small sample below, some of my postcards are sort of unique and perhaps a little more unusual than a typical postcard. They may be views of familiar places taken from different perspectives than you are used to seeing or maybe of local scenes you would not expect to see a postcard of.
My bookmarkers are high-quality pieces of an actual photograph. Inspired by Jerry Garcia ties, which use only a portion of the original artwork, I take a portion of my original photograph and create a bookmarker of it. Sometimes I create several different products using the same photograph, sometimes it's a unique piece. I don't really like wearing ties, but I do read a lot, so I thought I would make bookmarkers instead of ties. As these things usually go, you do a few for yourself, you start giving them away to friends, others start requesting them, and before you know it, you're running a small business. You can see the bookmarker samples on my website under the fundraiser section.
