I don't know.... it's like when I get out of sync, i feel like i can't write or that i have nothing to write about...but in my little world i have a lot going on. actually so much, i can barely keep up.... yoga, work and a very busy social schedule has kept me away from my computer and away from my home and away from my mind and in some ways my sanity.....summer time..... it's amazing. it's crazy....Let's see...
my art fair, was not really an art fairmore of a craft fair. so i was a bit disappointed. not quite what i was expecting. i did ok.... not at all how i imagined i would do. but because i had worked so hard before the fair and made sooooooooo much jewelry, i had a bit left over and the last two days have been relatively low key on the production end. i had time to catch up on books, do my taxes ugh.. and other logistical things. that feels really good. yesterday i sold my ganesha gold pendant. it was so exciting for me. i was a little sad to see him go, but i know he has a good home and i am busy with my new plans for this year and new designs, new ideas are always flowing.... ahh.... i love that i get to be creative and use my mind that is full of color and shapes and textures and all of this can be put onto and into my art.... i am so lucky.
there is this thing that really bugs me when i am out selling. you see, there are a lot of who do the bead thing and they come to my booth and say "I do this" and i am a bit sassy and say back to them "no you don't, i do this". and then they proceed and look and say "oh this is a great design, I'll have to try it".... oh, the nerve. i don't understand. i have so many ideas in my head, i can barely keep up and then there are those out there that want to copy mine. it's soooooooo frustrating. the other day, this woman was at my booth with her friend and she was asking me what this stone was and what that stone was and then her friend said to her. " i love this design" and she said back to her " oh, i'll make it for you" so they sat there and studied it and then left. i was like, what the hell was that? first of all they could never find the beads i get and second of all it's soooooooo rude. and then there are the people that want to bargain. i just can't get over it. i don't think they have any idea i made under $15,000, i work my ass off and it's my art. and they want to make a deal. what do i do?? lose the sale or make a deal? it's such a dilema for me.
anyway, i am having fun and my dad keeps saying to me." i think it's so cool that over 1000 people are wearing your jewelry around the world" I never thought about that before, but it's true. and that's pretty cool.
