So anyway
I wonder how many wonderful business ideas have fallen by the wayside due to the fact it takes so bloomin’ long to get going. Seems there’s a hundred things to do and just li’l ol’ me to do them all.
Nonetheless, I have been very busy developing designs, sourcing supplies, talking to people, doing market research. I have sold some chandeliers via a local gallery and the Art Tour was hard work and not particularly profitable but worth doing for the experience. I am learning heaps from each exposure, each conversation – so it is good. But I will admit it is hard at times. All I want to do is make lovely things, the business side feels a bit like a neccessary evil. Dozens of ideas milling round my head but practical matters prevailed. So, I’ve knuckled down, got my website up taadaa! and have opened a shop online with Bigcartel. The next few days will be adding stock details, taking pictures and…gulp….starting to promote myself. Scary, so nice comments would be appreaciated

Just wanted to say how happy I am to see that you’re writing again. I love your blog and missed it these past few months. I enjoy reading about the process of being an artist and discovering the resources you provide references to. It’s a very engaging mixture.
