You cleared space to make room for better feelings, thoughts and thinking. That's healthy. Don't forget to stay in touch with your imagination. We are all challenged with this, and have to remember that our creative freedom is what drives our inspiration. You are doing great, your work is fabulous. Sounds like you are ready for some new inspiration.

Yes, we all have days like this.<br />As for tools...you know I'm big on my tumbler!!! A good Lortone is invaluable(not sure if you have one yet).

Waiting to see what your daughter's perception of a situation is before you tell her what her preceptions are shows a great deal of respect for her on your part.

That would be cool. Our local University just opened a glass studio. I really want to take a class in anything! <br /><br />Sorry that your daughter was so frightened. Kids really reflect what we are feeling, don't they? We make an effort to always give to those less fortunate, especially around the holidays. Maybe that might be a good option, to donate to a soup kitchen or food pantry to reinforce the blessings that we have. <br /><br />I am interested in going online for selling 2010 so I don't have any words of wisdom...yet. I am inspired by all that is out there, and to differentiate yourself is key. Great photos, intriguing descriptions and ease of use is all I can suggest. I think that your designs are great. I also sell at an artist's coop in town. That Gallery exposure is really doing wonders for me. Maybe there is someplace in your area that would work for you? I look at it as a stepping stone...ultimately my cirle will broaden because of it.<br /><br />I am also just getting into the metal working thing. From Jeanette Blix I bought some cool letter stamps, and a dapping block, maybe some custom bead caps are in my future. I have a great steel shot filled custom created bench block pillow that helps with hammering immensely. Email me if you want the Etsy sellers info.<br /><br />Enjoy the day, Leslie!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091779487160216046.post-19827785744257017382009-12-07T11:33:42.368-05:002009-12-07T11:33:42.368-05:00Kella, I can't wait to see your new Etsy shop....Kella, I can't wait to see your new Etsy shop.

We took our girls to Chicago for a summer vacation a few years ago and this was the first time they saw homeless people up close. They ended up giving away all their spending money over the days we were there.<br />Take care, SuzBusy Bee Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115487928147732314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091779487160216046.post-72778549838908098932009-12-07T11:17:33.502-05:002009-12-07T11:17:33.502-05:00Or wine!
