My desk is a mess, but there is a good reason 'why'. I'm taking inventory, and there's a good reason 'why'. I'm wanted.It's a satisfying feeling to know something you make is wanted.
I am thrilled to be part of two upcoming shows; the Main Street Arts Festival in Magna, and the Park Silly Sunday Market, in Park City.
I'll be doing what I love best--making paper and giving people an opportunity to make paper with me. My booth will be full of opportunity to get your hands wet and pull paper. I love giving demonstrations. Its amazing to watch people's eyes light up when they see a sheet of paper appear.
I have also made contact with a store in Park City known as MaryJane's and the great news is that they're interested in carrying my paper. I can't tell you how excited I am to have this opportunity.
So, I'm taking inventory to see if I have enough product for success. I can tell already, I don't....which means.... I've got to get busy.
Last weekend, I went to the Magna Library and found some books of inspiration. I spent this last weekend making paper (two different shades of green). Yesterday, I whipped two copic stitch books together and created a keepsake box to add to the inventory. I figure if I work every weekend for the next three months, I'll have enough to get by...yes, just get by.
I love that each piece I make is made by-hand, literally, by hand. Each piece is unique and special. It's time-consuming and after a weekend of work 30 sheets of paper don't seem to be productive. Still, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm wanted....it's a great feeling!
