yippee, i think!

so some crazy/good things have been happening...and i thank you all for your calls and emails, though i wish y'all just POST the darn comment, but oh well. so i have decided i will keep this blog...being the constant communicator that i am, i can hardly contain myself at an arm's distance, so it's inevitable. the next 2 weeks will be mad busy though...i am launching my etsy shop (yippee!) and also preparing for a gallery show (double yippee with a side of fries!). i'm showing some of my Nuno felted pieces, and let me tell you how labor intensive it is to make a piece...VERY, okay? like harder than giving birth to the actual sheep that provided the wool for the roving...that hard. so by the time i'm done with it, i never i mean ever want to lay my eyes upon it again. so pricing is hard. today i was at the art supply store where i love everyone. they set up a special area for me in the back room so i could try to mount these beauties...it's like nailing Jello to a wall. try mounting a sweater, say, in an attractive way so that people will pay big American dollars for it. yeah, okay. so anyway, one of the clerks came in and was all about this one piece, and she said, "dare i ask how many thousands that one is??" i'm thinking, "Thousands??" like, if it doesn't sell, you can HAVE it. so maybe i'm just undervaluing my work due to the exhaustion involved. i know for sure in this area, the only thing people will pay thousands for is a snowmobile or some electric fencing. I'd quote Grandma Lana and say they wouldn't pay a nickel to see Christ jump off the cross, but that would be so far past what i consider taseful, that i'll let it go by. plus i bought a lottery ticket and don't want to jinx it. so i'm real tired and have a looong day tomorrow back in the art supply store dungeon, so check out the new place here. i'll still be here but the other place is self-sufficient and kind of fun. so 'night y'all, and shalom to you.
