Tonight I get to nosh on delicious The Sugar Path Cupcakes again. Meanwhile the last few days were spent preparing cords to go with the pendants. I’m also toying around with various display ideas for the summer fair. It’s fun to think about branding. Tonight’s setup will be like last time, though. Oh, and the […]

Just before Easter I gave a pendant the inventory number 100. I paused a bit, even though I had a few to go, because that was a milestone I didn’t see coming just a few months ago. To think that prior to April 14, 2012, I didn’t even know of this technique (Thanks Crystal and […]
Working on back-end logistics is time consuming but worthwhile. Prompted by all the art marketing resources I’m working on a newsletter set-up, and still trying to determine how I want Bento to work for me. Over Easter weekend it was rather springy around here, and here are some snapshots of my walks. These lions made […]

On Friday, the Arts of Life is hosting the opening of its second annual Square Foot Show. Last year’s opening was a bright and uplifting evening, and I look forward to seeing what art has been contributed this year. More than 100 pieces from the Arts of Life and other artists from around the country […]
Nope, I didn’t work on the pendant descriptions I had every intention to write. Saturday morning became frustrating as I fruitlessly searched online for findings that I know exist but apparently can only be found in 24-packs at Michael’s for now, instead of through a wholesaler. That’s the trickery of the Internet. You think that […]
Wow, it’s Friday already? Congratulations! Give yourself a round of applause for living the best week you could possibly have. It is all meant to be, and you’ve done your best. Creativity in action at Maike’s Marvels Yesterday was an immersion in Bento learning. It should be a handy program once I have figured out […]
The other day I pulled a Bible page and created a new pendant. I placed the text I wanted to remain legible on the back of the pendant. Do you agree or would you want your favorite verse to be on the front, even if a wire embellishment obscures the text? Then I realized the […]
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.†~ Mark Twain Last month I attended a discussion on Arts and Aging with the Chicago Painters and Artists Meetup Group. Fabiana Glazer is the owner of GoldMind: Arts and Aging, focused on bringing more arts to more older adults, […]
