We shipped the work (we could fly free then and had 75% discount with FedEx) and always had damage and breakage -- that was the first problem -- then we drove in all sorts of bad weather from Seattle (the second problem) and I really had no clue what I was doing to begin with (the biggest problem!)

She DID get a book deal out of her blogging. She still works a reallife job but she has a book. And a following. <BR/><BR/>Your blog IS entertaining, full of fab eyecandy that makes you think (yes, conversation pieces!) even if sometimes the conversation is in my own head.<BR/><BR/>Many of my friends don't *get* art, especially handmade art. So it's hard for me to have a group of people who understand and will converse with me about it. <BR/><BR/>An online blog (redundant I know) is a perfect way to get that community following and while I can't afford to buy one of your pieces (danged budget) watching you grow (especially with a pot on your head) is worth $ to me.VOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720138340117045444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-23330801576480800762009-03-18T14:17:00.000-05:002009-03-18T14:17:00.000-05:00truly i think that you could logically transition ...truly i think that you could logically transition to the "conversation pieces" front name, because it really does distill the magical appeal of your art. it seems a natural evolution for the path your work has taken.<BR/><BR/>on the blogging issue, i respectfully disagree with your lovely husband, and not just because your blog is a favorite of mine. it's surprising how artist blogs create connections that lead to new contacts and new opportunities, $$$ opportunities included. there are many blogger/artists who now have books, greeting cards, fabrics, craft patterns, licensed products, gallery representation, etc because they made an impression/connection via blogging. it's another way to promote yourself as an artist, but on a human-to-human rather than solely art/product basis.<BR/><BR/>not to be sexist, but maybe the blogging connection thing is more appealing & effective among women artists, because of the way women vs men communicate generally.<BR/><BR/>just my 2+ cents worth. looking forward to seeing your new work under any name! --luanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-60102660923859639052009-03-18T11:07:00.000-05:002009-03-18T11:07:00.000-05:00Conversation Pieces is perfect, I love it!

It's also a way of keeping a journal and of clarifying your thoughts as you're writing those posts. Or perusing your magazines for just the perfect image for a post is a form of research that can help your design work.

Have you thought about doing a book?
