April Newsletter
Hello!
The past month has been a personal roller coaster. I taught some classes and took a class as a student, I reconnected with a friend who's been absent and enjoyed an entire chocolate festival with my husband. One of my cats seems to be finally improving from a long-term illness, and my other cat, heartbreakingly, unexpectedly, passed away.
Yet it felt like a really productive month too. I focused on SeaDragon enameling and on completing a back-log of 'work in progress'. Spending a month at a time focusing on a single type of project has really helped me to improve skills and finish more items.
This month will be 'admin month', which means a focus on getting displays and website up-to-date, and a Spring Cleaning of my workspaces. While I may not complete as many new items, you might actually hear more from me if you follow on social media, as I'll be updating photos and posting missing item to Etsy. I hope you'll stay tuned!
Things Completed
🎨 New enamels and enamel lusters were tested, with delightful results. How have I waited this long to get a grey enamel??
💎 I completed a pile of earrings and five glittering pendants
⌚ I collabed with a fellow ACCI artist on some very cool anodized titanium bracelets.
Things In Progress
April will be Admin Month; which means making sure my tent and table are ready for the summer craft show season, catching up on photography and Etsy listings, and doing work for classes at The Crucible.
But also on the bench, these two SeaDragon necklaces are almost done, so I will find time to finish them also!
