I'm back...

Did you miss me? Over the past few day's I've been recuperating from my cold. During the past few days I've spent lots of time looking at other people's blogs. There are so many truly talented people out there, with wonderful witty blogs. I've been resisting the urge to comparing myself to them. I've only been making jewelry for a short time - well a relatively short compared to those who have a BFA - especially compared to those with MFA - they really worked for their skills. I'm mostly a self taught artist - I haven't paid my dues. However, it's really not that productive to do that so I'm going to stop doing it. I've got talent, right?

Another thing I've discovered: My blog is boring!!! It really doesn't reflect who I am. I've got to change the direction of my blog. I think I need to incorporate more of what I'm learning while I'm "networking" and start posting more pictures of my jewelry and the practice photographs.
I've joined several groups which I'll write about later on this weekend. I'll take you on a tour of my studio. Maybe I'll show you some of the jewelry I'm working on - while I'm working on it.

Even though I've not sold a thing on any of my shops I'm having a good time. I've learned a few skills and hopefully my writing will improve.

I'll leave with those thoughts. I need to leave, as I'm supposed to be working on jewelry. I encouraged my husband to go out tonight so I could get some work done. So, I'll have to have something to show. He reads my blog so the truth is out. Sorry, honey - I couldn't resist the siren song of my blog. It missed me.

See you later.
