Progress
2007 is my year for self-improvement. I picked up a few ambitious projects - such as my Year of Clay - and part of any project is marking off the milestones.
On the right hand side I made a simplistic little graphic for one of my goals: 5000 beads by the end of the year. I started with 1000 but I finished that by March! So i picked a bigger number.
I’m being generous - it doesn’t matter if it’s a meticulously sanded layered floral bead or a very simple slice bead. In this case, quantity and marking it off is what matters!
Some of my other clay related project-goals include 100 canes, another art doll, entering the PCC challenge, 5 craft shows, another 5 tutorials, 100 pieces of finished jewelry… dozens of things. It’s on a list above my desk and I take great joy in savagely crossing them off.
So, what are you claying towards?

Got something to say?

Pens and Hamsa’s up at Klews
Time to use a couple of those canes I have hanging around. Next week…new canes.
Super
I made a few more items for my Saturday show from your canes - it’s a teeny tiny show but I imagine they will be popular because that sort of item is always popular here. I’ll scan in the earrings & keychains. I’m sticking with the simple presentation for it.
And it’ll pop stuck in my nice subtle floral stuff.
ooo I wanna see them
I have been using my canes for pens for my etsy store. thats what I did at the two day clay day at Klews. Now I just need to sand and buff em and get them photographed and on etsy
