Efficiency versus ethics

December 4, 2009

They say that you begin to grasp a subject when you realize there is more that you don’t know than what you do. For some that’s an ego thing but I think for most of us that means we can itemize what we don’t know; we have a more specific form of measurement than...

An indescribable week

November 27, 2009

Truly, I can’t think of a word or phrase that can sum up the jumble of events over the last week. Firstly, the craft show last weekend – unfortunately a massive disappointment in terms of sales.  However, I’ve come to the conclusion that even moderate success would have caused me to continue pursuing events...

The value and danger in prototyping

November 20, 2009
The value and danger in prototyping

I am definitely one of those people that likes the research and development stage far more than day to day business.  That’s not always a bad thing but this week I saw the reality of the downside.  I’ve been pushing other things aside to get jewelry done for the show this weekend but as...

A week of fighting the ‘I must start perfect’ demons

November 13, 2009

I don’t know if this particular demon is genetic or environmental but I can say that the majority of my family suffers from it.  And they all know it too, which doesn’t seem to reduce it’s impact.  If it takes too great a hold you can end up sabotaging yourself in order to avoid...

Approaching deadlines

Approaching deadlines

There’s a big gap between where I want to be in two weeks for that first craft show and where I am right now – which has had me in a bit of dither all week.  Of course, that means that solder is refusing to melt and silver is not which leads to having...

Lots of new things to learn

October 30, 2009

I think my brain is starting to hurt from all the new things I’ve taken in this last week. On the plus side I finally got my merchant application in so that I’ll be able to process credit and debit cards at shows – it will be a miracle if it goes smoothly because...

Refreshed and refocused

October 23, 2009

It’s amazing what a little vacation can do for you – while I didn’t find any treasure with monetary value in Florida over the weekend, I came back with a sense of adventure.   The plants were different, the shells on the beach were different,  the houses were different and I got to try authentic...

Intermission

October 16, 2009

I don’t know why trips take even longer to prepare for than the days actually traveling but there it is.  This week has been largely about that with some side notes.  I spent Saturday working in the gallery and setting up their website, which I managed to get the bulk of done in that...

Attachment to the wanting as well as the goal

October 9, 2009

Dreaming can be delicious, all the possibilities and potential are there at your fingertips to pick and choose and switch out in day dreams.  That’s how I’ve felt about treasure hunting in Florida – maybe I’ll find emeralds, maybe silver coins, maybe a gold box full of jewels (someone really did find one of...

Feeling impatient

October 2, 2009

It’s funny how when things start happening you just want even more to happen.  That’s where I am this week; trying to reign myself in. At the last minute I found out about the chance to submit artwork for the giant hospital expansion nearby – since I can hear them pounding and shouting all...
