BookArtz Charm Swap

I cut the copper sheet, used my new dividers....straight lines can be a beautiful thing. Then I filed the edges and corners. Drilled holes. Tumbled them. Grabbed some pages from an old book (1920's) and started tearing & burning. The smell of vintage paper burning isn't pleasa… Continue

Is it me...?

Or is it really quiet on the interwebs? Not only here, but most of my mailing lists are quiet. Are y'all all at some big art thing I didn't get the memo for?

Focus. I needz sum.

Okay, so I spend too much time looking at lolcats, but I'm still struggling with the issue of focus. I love the jewelry I've been knotting and have way more designs floating in my head and on paper than I can complete in a year or 7, but there's so much more I want to do. Like playing with fabric, and fabric and beads, and fabric, beads and ribbon. And digital work, playing with brushes and filters and my photographs. OH and I have more photographs to take for my cemetary documentation project… Continue
