Back to the Studio: Reviving My Jewelry and Art Creations
I”m excited to go back to work tomorrow morning. Who says that after a vacation?
I do. I love my work!
I've already got an order after opening up my shop yesterday, and I'm so grateful I'm still making jewelry that people enjoy wearing after 20 years.
I'm ready to get back to experimenting with porcelain jewelry, and I have some new glazes that arrived while I was in Colorado to try and see how they fire.
I took a few pictures while in Colorado that I want to try and paint into Christmas cards, and I'm hoping to sit down at my painting desk and see what happens. If I can get a couple of new designs for the holidays and get them printed, I'll be satisfied!
I was so enamored of the Aspen trees of Colorado with evergreen's scattered in the Aspen forests we came across. This photo will be the inspiration for the cards I want to add to my collection.
I want to start offering my cards to purchase online. Right now, they are only available at Black Dog Salvage in Roanoke, VA and Words Matter Gift shop in Staunton, VA.
I still have to work out how to package them up so that they arrive safely.
Something else on the agenda is loading up my jewelry designs and offering them for sale on my new website this week, too.
I want to offer some one-of-a-kind designs on my website, separate from Etsy, and beginning the transition off of Etsy to my own site.
In October, it will be a year since I moved my studio out of the basement of my home and I'm loving it more and more every day.
Having a dedicated space to create and dream is wonderful, and so fulfilling.
Ok, not much to report on today as I was getting ready for this week, grocery shopping and clothes washing, along with some house cleaning.
Vacation is over, but my work is so fulfilling that I must admit I'm ready to get back to it.
Random fact about me: I make sure and pet every dog I meet on the walking trail so that I can get some free probiotics when they lick me in the face since I no longer have a dog.
