Etsy

This past Summer was a crazy one and this Fall seems just as crazy. I've been trying to get my butt in gear and apply to grad school. Along with that comes updating my portfolio. Now that I am starting to have more goals in life it has been easier to get things done and create, sort of. Even though today didn't seem physically productive, I was able to spend a lot of time on the computer and was able to create an Etsy Site! So far I have put up my dark humor collection that i started as well as chainmaille that all my friends wear and get complements on. It was tough to finally perk up the courage to create the site. I wasn't sure if I should put all more jewelry up on it. I love everything I create, but I know I want some of my jewelry to sell more than others. It feels good to be getting back into the swing of things. It has been a very slow process. A year and a half process. I guess life doesn't always go as planned and it really takes time finding yourself again. Man it has been hard, but I'm glad to say that I'm slowly closer to where I want to be in life. Check out my site! Yay Etsy! More pictures will be added soon! I will also post some pictures up of a piece I'm working on in the studio! Can't wait to show it off! Hopefully it will be done, mostly tomorrow!

SNAG

Long time no post... Gotta work on this...

Well, I'm sitting in the hotel reminiscing over my four days of SNAG conferencing. I have so many thoughts flowing through my head that need to be released and put down on paper. I feel like experiencing this conference was a very good thing. It really helped me get back into the mindset of creativity and concepts. I have a lot to think about how I want my future to be. There is so much I want to accomplish and so many paths I want to take, I hope I have time to journey down them all. I think I will always have this constant struggle of wanting to make art and wanting to make money. If that makes sense to you art people, I'm sure you will understand. This post will be brief and a more in depth one will most likely follow. I think the more I write my thoughts the better I will be able to gather my ideas and concepts... Goodbye Seattle, Hello Chicago.
