The Crunch

 

I’m in the home stretch!  My goal is to have my Etsy store up and running by the end of January.  There is still so much to do.  I’ve learned I can’t always know how long a task will take.  I can only hope most of these will be quick and easy.  I think my greatest challenge is creating a new business card and postcard.  My strategy is to do the hardest things first.  I’ll be blogging updates all month.  It will be challenging because I am hoping to teach two after school classes a week, so I have less time than usual.  Hopefully I won’t fall behind on the blog like I did in December.  I don’t know if you noticed, but while on vacation I made up for all the blog entries I missed.  

Wishing you a warm, wonderful New Year!

Moving Along

Glamour Girl Earring

Well, I did it!  I processed all my photos.  It took a day and a half of pretty much working non-stop.  I feel pretty satisfied.  Most of the photos were pretty easy to adjust.  The challenging ones were the earrings.  Most of the photos had a few strands of hair covering the earring that I had to clone out.  I’ll want to redo a few photos at some point, but I think what I have is fine to get me started.  Thank goodness for vacation time so I could sit down and work uninterrupted. 

The next steps are to write descriptions of each piece and an artist’s statement.  If I can do that by the end of the month I’ll be very satisfied.  For the next few days I’ll take a break and work on other creative projects.
