If I Wore A Hat I Would Tip It To...

.....the wonderful lady who helped me with my banner. I am not the easiest person to work with and I often will accept something just to keep from being a pest. I know, it's not good to be like that; I am trying to improve. Anyway, I have been making lots of changes in my website and needed my etsy banner changed also. I had someone make one but then I took another look at my website and just wasn't happy with it. I'm basically a "grit and grunge" person and I finally realized that no matter what I do it isn't going to change ME. So I tinkered with the site one more time. So of course I needed a new banner. Some kind person on Delphi Forums told me about Tejae Floyde. Tejae is a wonderful polymer artist and very patient lady. Through a series of emails she drew out what I really wanted, honed it and smoothed out the rough edges and viola! Done in a day! She even gave me some good feed back on my website. I am eternally in her debt and will sing her praises to anyone who will listen. 

So when you get finished reading this go visit her site and check out her tutorials and lovely objet d`art hearts. And just look at the picture (above) of the exquisite work she does! Wouldn't you love to own one of those beauties?

A Learning Experience....

    For weeks now I have been busy with my latest creations; I have received a lot of positive feedback and generally was feeling pretty confident about it. It had been years since my last show and then it was with a totally different product, so basically I was starting all over. Since this was a small show I wasn't too worried about having enough product.
      I hoped for the best but would accept whatever...for now. 
Unfortunately it turned out to be 'whatever'.  The show was not well promoted even though I was assured it would be. It also seemed as though it was geared to a different client than would be interested in my funky boho style. I guess I could be discouraged but somehow I'm not. 
   In the booth next to me was a very nice man who had some fantastic jams and jellies. We chatted to pass the time and talked about our grandkids.  Some one else gave me a tip on an art show that would be more suited to my style.  After an absence of more than eight years I had forgotten how to pack for a show, so this was a good chance for a 'practice' run. And while re-packing I discovered something that would help enlarge my displays but actually reduce the amount of things I had to truck in and out.  So even though is was a poor show (sales traffic wise) I had a whole different attitude than I might have had 8 years ago.  Some of that might be that I have mellowed with age; might also be that I have an upcoming appointment with a lady who would like some of my jewelry for her cute little shop. 
   So I can only go up from here-right?!

Well It Was Fun, But It's All Over Now!

During the month of February Polymer Clay Central had the TAD (Thing A Day) challenge and I picked up the gauntlet. I never thought that I would last the whole month but I did and I'm now doing a little happy dance. Here is a slide show of the past month's work. 
Thanks to all of you on Polymer Clay Central and elsewhere for all the kind comments and for stopping by to look! Now I guess I no longer have an excuse to put off house cleaning!
