happy and sad times.

I am having an inspiring time producing some new products for sale. I am overflowing with new ideas to try out and a short spell of great weather always helps, (though there is something of a change just now).
Balanced against the happiness is the sadness of losing one great promoter of women in business who has helped me so much in the past.  Cally Robson, founder of shesingenious.com died recently,  A great woman who has helped many.
Strangely, I photographed an unusual cloud while visiting my parents on the day Cally died.

So I am including these two photo's today to illustrate the happy and sad...

big, dark, heart-shaped cloud.

Heart-warming message..received today.

Lovely shop Liz! Your Girl, Boy & Pony have done a bit of travelling... Here is final gift for our Grandaughter Maya's 1st birthday (in Ireland). It is completely hand made with love from 3 different people. Your beautiful handmade Girl, Boy & Pony are mounted on handmade linen & embroidered cloth-made here in Betencuria Fuerteventura-Canary Islands. Ceramic frame was hand designed and made by friends from Greece & Italy who own local Ceramics Art shop here in Fuerteventura. They did the mounting as well. Maya loves your dolls and wanted them off the mounting to play with them. Thank you again Liz. Love and hugs to you xo

So glad to hear that Catherine and her new daughter are well.  Happy days.

Updating and organising shop site.

I'm learning, slowly, how to speed up the process of getting products into the Etsy shop. Still much to learn and lots of products to post.  I'm having to fight the desire to just carry on making.  Here is one example of my latest landscape range of collages.

Lessons in networking and explaining....

I am beginning to understand how networking works, it's not being fake, it's being honest with complete strangers, which can be difficult.  I've never faked...but being open with strangers...umm!
Like many artists, I thrive on the construction of artwork, but find the paperwork, sales and promotion a lot more difficult.  My sister, (also a creative, but with a better organised mind than mine) tells me;  'What's the point of making more work, if you're not promoting and selling what is already made...'
Okay, I give up...you're right...but it's difficult.  It's often hard to describe those intimate emotions that inspire a piece of work, or drive its construction.  I find that describing  the work is more difficult than creating it because the process is instinctive and difficult to understand, let alone put into words...but I love what I do, so will persevere, and if you like it, then you get it and that's a success in my book. xxx
