Ahhh friday....

[deb_m]

I've had a super busy Ebay week (for a change) and its been very gratifying. I have learned a few things about marketing and this is good. I realized at one point, while I was working on posting some stuff on Ebay, how much I really have learned about marketing and selling art over the last year or so. This makes me really happy because, up

That yarn is nice (I'd love to take it off yer hands, hehe).............. and I'm lovin the box, - I'm in desperate need of a work area
I want to be down with fiber friday so bad but I havent really mastered downloading pics off of my camera yet, I need more practice.

You **must** do fiber friday!!! I'm dying to see your stuff. Did you make up your pattern for your halter? I have this cute retro floral fabric that I want to make a halter out of but am not sure what kind. The problem with the yarn is that there are only small amounts of it cuz I am just playing around. Of coarse you are welcome to some anyway if you like!

Nice work Deb! That little purse is very cute! I love shadow boxes, yours is so intriguing! I bought some shadow boxes myself awhile back at the thrift store and you just remind me I never unpacked them. I have no idea what to do with them though. At one point I was going to mosaic them, now I am not so sure. Anyway!

Glad you've hit a super-productive phase! Yippee! So have I :) It sure feels good doesn't it? But I would love to hear more about the "emotional and spiritual purging" that is "unblocking" you if you'd care to elaborate. (More like what you're doing to purge, than what it is you are purging, if you know what I mean.) I am sorry if that's a nosy question, I'm just always curious about creativity-enhancing techniques that WORK. I am pretty prone to artist's block, and I hate it!

Not nosy at all! I am constantly going thru cycles, often they coincide with the seasons. I usually try and help move things along by creating rituals around the purging. Firstly, cleaning out my space...getting rid of old stuff I don't need. That is a biggie. Then sometimes I do some writing (which often leads to crying) about things that are changing....what I am letting go of....what I am opening myself up for in the future, etc. Selling artwork that is piling up in my basement helps too!

Good thoughts and ideas! Thanks so much for sharing! I sincerely appreciate it.

Cleaning out my space is something I find hard to do. *sigh* How do you decide what you don't need any more? :) I have a real hard time doing this. I feel like I need everything!

I used to write a lot. I don't write so much any more. I sometimes wonder if I should start again.

Again, thanks, I appreciate it that you shared your process with me.
