This year has been a busy year in the studio. Working, listening to books on tape (I particularly liked “The Book of Air and Shadows”, by Michael Gruber), reading blogs and attending a few conferences. SxSW, the Feast Conference and the American Craft Conference are 3 that stand out.
It was my goal several years ago to stop doing shows; that is, stop doing trade shows and craft shows to sell my work. I have more or less succeeded and continue to learn about ways to show and sell my work. Mostly by work of mouth and brides seem to find me. Learning and sharing by attending conferences is far preferable to standing in a booth and selling my work. Conferences often lead to other surprising kinds of development.
I am working on goals and planning for 2010, which everyone seems to feel will be better than this past decade. One goal I want to commit to right here, right now, is more regular blogging. So, let me leave you with a thought for new years eve and day- Let ‘er rip. Well, that maybe more for me than you, but hey, maybe you relate?
Thank you for stopping by. See you next year!
