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 […]
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 […]
There really has been nothing to say, this month…until now.
I finally got my hair chopped off to a VERY short cut again (not that my hair was ever longer than just-above-the-shoulder) and it has increased my desire to make more short-hair accessories. Also, I turned 30 at the end of May this year, and […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Far Grove has been busy today, due to a friend who has something of a following at her blog mentioning the shop. 6 hearts in one day and 4 items sold…I definitely don’t put it down to coincidence. So, thanks very much, Res. I really appreciate it.
Also since I’ve checked Etsy a few times […]
This entry should speak for itself, so I’m not going to blabber too much. I really like the new style of hairstick I’ve made, though they do present some problems, most notably the fact that they’ll have to be shipped in different (thicker) boxes, meaning it’ll put them out of the ‘light packet’ range of […]
For a long time I’ve wished I had a paint that would adhere to bone: I hate being limited to black and ivory as my only colours for bone sticks. But acrylic paint will not adhere to bone…at least not any variety *I* have found.
However…and I admit that with extensive logical problem-solving skills applied to […]
The trouble with ear-wraps is that everyone’s ears are very different sizes and shapes. I have very small ears, so I automatically make small wraps that wouldn’t fit on other people. I can make bigger ones if I remind myself to do so, but there will be NO getting away from the fact that people […]
