I made some signs for my friend Julie's shoe repair shop.  Then I made some for the lovely Cammie who makes a delicious hybrid of East Indian and S. African food out of her trailer on the same corner.  I'm proud of my amateur efforts and have shoe repair for life!

some art of late

hello followers: my computer is not happening at home....I'm not sure what's going on...but I just detached for a while....it feels strange to be used to it and then not have it just be there to prove one's existence....anyways, lots of art being worked on ....and other changes. I'm writing from the coffeeshop.....I'll try to post some photos as soon as I'm set up and running again...either that or I'll be running into the woods to hide! love, janet..luddite at heart.

crackedpots was a blast

this was my second year at Crackedpots garden art show at Edgefield.  It was their 10 year anniversary and they had a great pile of gleanings from the dump for people to see and take home.  Other than that, I got to be in the same sweet shady little spot with the same gals as last year:  Brenda, Suzanne, Jill and Bonnie.  I didn't call or write much during my production time.

It was a great vacation for me.  As much as I understand how helpful technology can be in terms of self promotion and sales, I had gotten into this guilty mindset that I was failing as an artist cause I don't care if I have an audience for every moment of my life.  I realise this has everything to do with the time I was born into and who I am.  this is not a judgment against anyone who enjoys blogging, tweeting, texting, facebooking and on and on...it's just that I don't have a natural attraction for any of these things.  So, I needed to get back to giving myself credit for making things and get into a work schedule and feel good about what I was doing before I could start selling online.  I feel so much better and so much more myself.  anyways, maybe I can use some of these things as tools and leave the rest alone.
