This is what I did today:

I must...

get to the college and play on the wheel again. I have a couple of lightswitch plates that I'm working on. I have one or two left from this summer. Most of them sold, but I guess I need to start working on inventory now so summer isn't a killer this time.


These sold like crazy.


I was playing with glass as well. Here's what I did last summer:

They say: Queen, Fisherman, and Hot. I only sold one of these...not quite unique enough, I think...I stopped doing the etched glass for a while, and now I have a large shelf of glass just waiting to be played with and modified. I want to melt it...and then etch it...

traffic exchanges

These have been a fun way to find new sites and generate traffic to my site. You're probably surfing here using one of these methods, but if not, I recommend trying them out. Mulitple accts = more traffic and more sites to see faster...

My favorite exchange is Blog Explosion.

There's a link to blog clicker on the right...it's a lot like blog explosion with some of the same users.

This one just started up in January and has only a 15 second wait time: Traffic Pods.

One more that I use is Haunted Clicks.

That's all for now...

Our opening went well today.

The opening for The Art Thing's "Emergiendo" show went very well. There was a good turn-out of people, as well as a wonderful layout of food. I brought some crumbly chocolate cake rolls and tiny cheesecake cups. Unfortunately, I forgot my digital camera, so I'll be begging pictures from my friends who went.

This evening I'm updating my website: Polyartgirl.Net. I have big ideas.

(I'm always looking for an honest and helpful critique.)

Throwing again...

I spent several hours playing in the mud today...throwing for the first time in years. After making a mess, destroying most of what I made, and trying to remember what the hell I'm doing, I ended up with a few bowls that will be handled into cups soon.

In the upper left you can barely see the little red vase.

The Art Thing: Emergiendo

Our art group is finally having our first show. After showing in various places for the past year with other artists or in open settings. We're beginning with three pieces each, as well as a portrait of another of the artists. It'll be fun to see what people get done.

These are four new framed photos heading off to the gallery today:



Two van dyke prints on handmade cotton rag paper, and two fiber darkroom prints. Better photos to follow...
