I am entering the exciting world of custom products with a design I’ve been fiddling at for several years — a pendant showcasing the astrological “natal triad” — Sun, Moon and Ascendant (aka Rising) Signs. And, part and parcel with offering something like this is I finally have a proper online store setup! Stuff is being added slowly, since my one of a kind work in glass remains ridiculously difficult to photograph well, but more will be added steadily over time. Shipping is currently free!
As the covid-19 restrictions slowly lift, I am slowly beginning again on this work, with lots of new ideas. I am now cancer-free, and my children are now back in-person at school, which makes it much easier to think and get things done! And so, I have TWO shows coming up: September 25th: Pancakes and Booze, my perennial favorite evening of carbs and art and (usually decent) DJs. November 27 and 28 (Turkey Day Weekend) – the return of GeekCraftExpo . This is a ticketed event, so there will be room to breathe!
Like so many of us, I am now in “self-isolation” due to the coronavirus outbreak, plus two kids at home for who knows how long, plus cancer treatment. I’m taking this opportunity to explore some mediums I’ve either taken a long break from, or haven’t yet learned, specifically charcoal (old, messy friend) and pastels (new, probably messy, hopefully friend.) We’ll see how it goes. If anyone else is going to join me in having distraction art materials sent, I’m exceedingly fond of Dick Blick. And hopefully I’ll finally get that darn online store set up.
