It’s always busy when I get back home…there’s the usual going over the sales, credit slips, checks, banking, over-sales, where I need to order stuff to ship out because I ran out, etc. And that’s not even including unloading the van…which can take several days just because I don’t get in a hurry! Going out on the road is tiring work.
My poor neglected blog…well, on Friday I did do some dye painting/screening on the start of a new piece in the series “…But Words Will Never Hurt Me”. I don’t know if it goes beyond this one or not…perhaps. Tomorrow I will put the finishing touches on #2 that will be shipped out this week for the Fiber 2010 show in St. Charles, MO. I just need to put my label with all the artist info on the back, cut the pool noodle the right length for shipping and it will be ready to go.
This is the week I must finish boring taxes. I am working on getting all of my business information together…that is the biggest job. Then I just drop it off to the cpa. Oh but how I hate paperwork…
I’m toying around with the idea of creating some ACEO’s for art fairs. And they may not be fiber either. I have been perusing ebay to see what people are doing and selling…I’m also doing some buying. :=) There is some interesting talent on there. I find myself drawn to bright colors and funky drawings of objects and even some realism, although I still don’t want to do that myself. Wonder why I would like the bright playful colors?
Ok, I’ll share one picture of some drawings I’m playing with.
Well, I didn’t say it was good….I’m just playing around! I added the “stitches” to see if I would like the interest they might add and explore the possibility of them becoming a trademark.
Hi Hon,
You have been given the Sunshine Award…enjoy!

Oh thanks, Robin!!!
Glad you’re back safe and sound and it sounds like the show went well. Congrats on the “But words will never hurt me” being accepted!! I think you have more than enough talent to start your ACEO’s. Mind sharing what you have learned studying ebay? I try to do that, but my mind wanders and I start looking at art, get inspired and totally forget what it was I was trying to accomplish! :~)
Is that you’re booth up top? WOW you’ve been a busy bee! I’ve never seen the horses! Talk to you soon! ~Jaime
