It's been a difficult winter for me, so had to take a longer-than-usual break. The holiday retail job, the cold, the flu, the DHEA imbalance - I'm just now getting to feel up to normal activity levels. But I'm back! Been revamping my approach to jewelry; acquired some new tools to make flattening and folding bottle caps easier, came up with some more sophisticated ways to put them together, and am working on ideas to bring together the caps, the beads & pearls, and the found objects into a more unified body of work. Other plans for spring include signing up for an Individual Development Account, which will involve saving up for a matching grant and taking a much-needed business class. I'm planning on this making my endeavors more professional and eventually living that artist dream to make it be my full-time job. I'll keep you posted.
