Today was an interesting day. I actually got a lot done, which was surprising. Usually when I have to work a shift at my co-op gallery (Blue Door) it kinda messes up my day. But, I took a lot of jewelry supplies with me and got a lot of work done there. This is one of the necklaces that I finished. It's a little edgy and different from my usual jewelry work...but I like it. It is a vintage pistol/pocket knife that I found at an antique store in St. Augustine.
Yesterday, was a bit unusual. It was a little hard opening up so much here, and having friends leave comments already. Wow....I didn't really expect that. I always feel bad because I have zero time to surf through interesting blogs and leave comments. I hope people understand and are not too insulted by my poor blog etiquette. But, the comments that were left here and on my art site, were so encouraging. I cannot tell you how much they help me everyday. And it's also fantastic to hear that I've inspired someone too.
I tried to work on the webcam yesterday...but it was not successful yet. I was a little bummed about it. But, then in my email box this morning I had an note from an artist, Jonathan "Blade" Manning. He has webcast on Ustream for art journaling. He gave me a shout out in his latest broadcast and contacted me to be a highlighted artist in his next broadcast. He wants to use my resin technique. I was amazed at how fluent he was with the webcam...and definitely felt it was karma that he contacted me. So, I asked him to help me with the webcam...and I'll give him permission to use my YouTube video, and technique. Pretty cool, huh. I just hope he says yes. I love how things work out like that sometimes....
Well, gotta go for now. I managed to get some of the new jewelry in the Etsy store today, and went back to Ebay to sell some of my non-art items. I'm still floored by how much they are charging....but I don't know of anything better for non-vintage items. Let me know if you do...
Off to make dinner...fried green tomato pizza....yummmm....
Love,
Wyanne

Fried green tomato pizza! That does sound yummy. Congrats on the new artist connection and good luck with the webcam. Sounds like Madame Universe gave you a helping hand on that just when you needed it!
Dear Wyanne....
I discovered your art last year in a magazine called Artful Blogging. I should have purchased the magazine. I found some of my drawings inspired by your art. And they make me very happy. I don't have the set up to do large paintings and I have lost a measure of health with chronic fatique. I am a pen pal writer so I draw on envelopes...which gives my drawings purpose... Loved your peacock demo...could not hear the music. Even if I was connected at home to the interenet, I don't have sound. Rosieindigo7@msn.com
