I’m SORTA feelin’ groovy!

In news that is not fun: my health is still causing a lot of trouble right now.  But I have fun news as well!  My supply order was made…and arrived sooner than expected!  Not only that…I made my new work area!  To do this I had to:

Move my piano.
Buy 3 bookshelves
Assemble the shelves
Buy a melamine […]

Supply order 2008

I only make orders from my main supplier once or twice a year, because shipping is VERY expensive (even the cheapest option) and the discounts are WAY better if you order in bulk.  So I make giant orders to save on shipping and get nearly 50% off what the cost would be if I was […]

Stop with the cute!

Well, I did actually do a set of floaters and I even tried a black and white clippie…but they’re not turning out as I’d like.  I think I’m going to have to go with something a bit more unconventional.  It’s VERY hard to make a clippie look anything but ‘cute’, and floaters mostly fit in […]

Goodies!

I’ve decided to use this blog primarily for information and contact purposes rather than for promotion, and as such there will be no such thing as scheduled updates, any more. No ‘definitely once a week’ or anything of the kind. If I have something interesting to share, I’ll be around…and otherwise this blog […]

Sentiment

I am the kind of person who would LIKE to be sentimental…but just can’t manage it.  It seems so unfeminine, to be almost utterly lacking in sentimentality.  I don’t look at old photos with any sense of warm-fuzziness, I don’t look upon gifts as talismans or signs of love (though I do remember who gave […]

My hidey-hole

I have been pulled off the internet and more into ‘real life’, lately…and consequently I forget all about this poor little blog.  I think I’m still managing once a week, and sometimes more, but still…I do keep forgetting.
I made 5 or 6 sticks the other day but that was a little while ago…the creative front […]

Take a peek in my closet…

I was going to post yesterday, but I felt *awful*.  A little better today, but still not good enough to be in the mood to concentrate on anything.  But still, I did get another idea for possible jewellery, and again the inspiration came from Skip Beat.  (Much gratitude to Nakamura for her attention to detail.)  […]

Apple Blossom

I was intending to clean up today, particularly because it is too windy to go biking.  (It’s not a great replacement but it’s important to get SOME physical activity even on cold, windy days.)  So I took half of a half-strength (regular ones are 200mg but mine are only 100mg) caffeine pill.  (I have a […]

Art components

I’d like to do a little more collaborative work…making jewellery (hairsticks and so on) using components made by other artists.   I’ve done it before…David Christensen cane glass is available for purchase, even in bulk, and it’s beautiful stuff, and though expensive it is still affordable enough to use without having to raise your prices […]

Unusual shapes and colours

I’m definitely coming to the realization that I simply cannot post to TFG’s blog 4 or 5 times a week, every week.  I think it’s better to post when you actually have something you want to say/share than to force yourself to think of something daily.  So I promise I’ll definitely post at least once […]
