What to say about a shop

Reworded my shop statement, but I'm not sure that the new one is any better than the old one. The whole artist statement thing was never my strong suit, making was always easier than selling for me. Need to get Photoshop up and running again to make a new banner, so that will have to wait a few days. Now to go create something.

Keeping up with chores

Finally reposted all of my long standing items on Etsy in particular my hair accessories. Looking at my shop reminds me that I really really need to redo my banner, since it was done before I had anything to even put in my shop. Perhaps it would be best to just feature one of two items with a white background or something like that. Must contemplate the best visual presentation that represents my art and myself. Oh, and it can only be 760px by 100px, so no challenges there. No wonder I have left it as the old banner for so long. I fully admit that I'm not the biggest fan of e-housekeeping, so I'm dreading making further posts of my items.

It would be nice if I had wealthy patrons who just threw money at me whenever they saw a thing I had made, but this is reality and those people require a bit of wooing, or so I would imagine. *sigh* Must keep up with making things and allowing others to see them.

A little bit

Today I went to SCRAP (my favorite place on earth) and bought some lovely items for the LARP event I'm helping to decorate as well as a small paper guillotine for myself. Also found a whole bunch of National Geographic magazines there for free and spent about an hour cutting out great pictures for collages. Now that I think about it, I'm probably best categorized as an assemblage artist, but I still like mixed media most, because it covers so many aspects of my creative endeavors.

Sheepishly Returning

Sooooo, I've been lax in my dedication to my dreams, but no more will I shoot myself in the foot. I am going to do better and will return to posting about what I've done creatively, even if what I have to show are the Dreaded Works In Progress (which hurt me a bit to show to others). It is my hope that by doing at least a little something more often, instead of letting everything slide and going a little crazy, that it will be easier to remain creative. Furthermore, I hope that by doing something productive each day that I will not fall into the wallows of despair and existential crisis that I have allowed myself to mire in for far to long.

New leaves are difficult to turn over, but if I take it a baby-step at a time, the miles will fly by before I know it.
