OOooo...I was gitty upon picking the package up from the post office. I scooted right home, so I could drool in the privacy of my own workshop.
I'm still trying to figure out the best set up for my workshop. Enameling takes up quite a bit of room. Really just having to move everything out of the way to torch, and I like having all the enamels out, easy access. I'm wanting to set up a table specifically for using the enamels, but first I have to make room. UGH! Still working on that, but in the meantime, this is what I've done so far.
A couple pair of earrings. While practice makes perfect, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome of these.
In other news...I'm totally over the moon about the publicity I've gotten locally this week. About a week ago, the local paper did a brief interview regarding my participation in a local artisan fair. Just hit a couple high points, you know...I'm local, second year at this particular event, and the specifics regarding the show. Then the article was published...one of my pieces was on the front page of the paper advertising this event. It was small but it was still there. Then a nice, big picture of my piece beside the article, with a great plug for my business. I was so pleased...way more than I expected. Then, the other night I was perusing a local magazine when I noticed a piece in magazine that looked just like one of my pieces. Low and behold...it was one of my pieces. I guess they had photographed some of my work that I have at the art gallery. This was totally unexpected, but I was only too excited to come across it.
On the agenda for this week...you guessed it...more enameling. I'll keep you posted on the progress.
Have a great day...it's another rainy one here.
