The Far Grove

A new direction

I know, I never post.  So I thought I’d throw out a quick update on what I’m doing right now, even though it’s past my bedtime and I’ve been plastering and folding all day.  I’m going to open a second Etsy shop, since the only thing that really ‘fits’ my first shop is jewellery, and everything else looks out of place.  My second shop will be handmade envelopes (made of old calendar pages and maybe some other recycled stuff…you can see two #10 envelopes made of calendar pages in the photo below) and photo cards and maybe even prints, once I have my photography groove back.  (That’s what I went to college for…photojournalism…but it’s been so long I don’t really feel like I’ve got all the necessary skills any more and need to practise a lot.)

I’ve got a few interesting photos but I need a pretty big stock of truly reliable ones before I’ll feel confident in actually trying to sell them.  The stuff I take looks good on greeting cards but I feel like the subject matter has to be more deliberately artistic for prints, whereas it can be more ‘cute’ or just simply pretty for cards.  You can see a couple of my photos below, too. Just a few…

    

  

Anyway, I’m very busy right now!  Soooo much work to do, so little energy to do it with…
