Hm... your Etsy link doesn't seem to be working?

[beard5]

That's odd, it works fine for me, even when logged off. Well, should you be curious (not yet, no items there for sale, they're coming starting tomorrow, I hope) just do a search on Etsy.com for username "Beard5" I'm pretty consistently Beard5 across the internet.

Oh, regarding the A&S 50, I'm trying to beat my artistic muse back with a stick. She wants me to do 50 yards of bobbin lace as well as 50 yards of Lacis (netted lace) and reticella. (I can't do 50 pieces of illumination since I did that this year)It's a great idea, and 3 arts that I can't do yet...(My bobbin lace is as bad as my knitting, the less said the better, it's frightening) however, I need another massive project like I need a hole in the head.

Well, do you routinely do 50 scrolls a year? If not, you could challenge yourself to do 50 a year for the length of the Challenge, since you do so many anyway. Or you could do 50 yards of lace TOTAL, instead of breaking it up between types. The idea is to be challenged, but not completely overwhelmed!

I'll look for your Etsy site later this week. Thanks!

Re: Scrolls, if I'm counting prize scrolls as well as awards, yeah, a lot of scroll work.

I'm thinking the fifty yards of bobbin lace would be a good challenge, something new to do, and potentially useful for edging ruffs and cuffs :) (something I really want)

Good luck with your sales!

My friend at http://ryhopewood.blogspot.com/ just posted about taking pictures of her artwork, and suggests a book that might be helpful.

Will do! I hope to have some stuff up this afternoon, if I can get some decent pics.
