The musings of a ceramic jewelry artist…

I’m still here!

letterpressdrawers.jpg  And look what I found while I was on my lunch break!  Lots of finished pendants and beads will fit in these.

We’re in the final days of tax season, and hopefully I can get rested up soon and back to clay work. Priority number one is finishing up a couple of orders that have been in the queue for awhile (thanks for your patience ladies!), then I’m reclaiming the spare room.  I lost my craft room when Isaac came along, and since hubby has a great big garage, I’m feeling like it’s time to get the tools and stuff out of the spare room.  MINE!!!  It takes a huge bite into my productivity when I have to setup and breakdown during Isaac’s afternoon nap.   I’ve decided that this time my studio will be filled with vintage and vintage-style stuff that I’ve been collecting.  It will be a huge undertaking, but if I want to step the business up a notch something has to be done.     I recently received a couple of issues of Cloth Paper Scissors “Studios”, so now I’m all inspired now.  I know it’s customary to take “before” pictures, but it’s too embarrassing!

Have a Happy Easter, Everyone!

    You know, that Studios magazine is what started all this!! I saw all of the beautiful studios and said to my husband, HEY, would you mind if I switched rooms for my studio space!”
    I should have picked up about 5 of these letter trays. I am hoping to get a few more this summer during the big local antique fair.
    Good luck with your move. I hope it goes smoothly for ya!

    That’s exactly what got me started! I ordered a couple of back issues and that was it! I love how the artists incorporate all their old “stuff”, of which I have plenty. What I like about that mag is there are examples of great big rooms and itty bitty spaces. Before we had our son, hubby had one of the extra bedrooms and I had the other–I lost when it came time to set up the crib. I kind of wish I had a flag to stick up in the middle of the room which says, “MINE!!!”
