Master the Internet - a Guide for the Overwhelmed!

10:25 PM Posted In , , , Edit This 0 Comments »

I have posted a fun article on my ArtFire Artists Blog that I thought you might like. It's fun to have a blog there for things that might be a bit too long, or not quite right for here.

It's all about mastering the internet, coping with too many emails, too much communication, and I would welcome your opinions and comments.

Rush Order for Whskr

I have been invited to submit some of my art dolls to a lady who is selling in the Catlins area of the South Island here in New Zealand. She was a super vibrant person I met at the Aotearoa Creative Textile Forum and so I have to get busy. This will mean less online time but I will schedule daily posts in the meantime.

Wish me luck!

There is a fun and straightforward tutorial over at Objects and Elements the blog of bunch of fantastic art jewelers. It's fun and involves texturing copper using a texturing mallet, but, my mind is lareayd thinking other textures.

There is also, for those of us who read the blog, a challenge to make something textured. This sounds such fun I might give it a go. I love the earrings made with the sample - I need a metal cutter to make perfect circles now!
