I got home yesterday, but no rest for me here! There is lots to be done here with studio organization and filling up my Etsy shop, but first things first.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is my birthday and that means a give-away. I will post details tomorrow instead of doing the drawing on my birthday like other years. See you back here then!<\/p>\n

Also, there will be a few days of CHA<\/a> reporting. It was all new to me, I met lots of interesting people, and wow, was it exhausting. I am simply not used to being out and about with loads of people interactions for 5 days in a row. I need more practice at getting out of my studio!<\/p>\n

That is the hotel restaurant on the first night, before any of the work began. I went to Orlando with my sister-in-law who was showing Twisteez<\/a>, an art wire that her family has been making and selling to schools for 50 years. This was her first venture into finding retail outlets for the product.<\/p>\n

This is what things looked like when we first walked in-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

soon, we were getting the booth put together-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and here is how it looked on Tuesday morning, opening day-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We kept ourselves very busy. In between talking to people, we played with the wire. Here are some of our creations-<\/p>\n

Sandy made a dragon-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a dragon slayer-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

together-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made an articulated little girl-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We both made flowers-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sandy made a horse-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I cut out a bunch of elephant shapes and we tried different approaches to them-<\/p>\n

Mimi-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and Sandy-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As I said at the beginning, there are no retail outlets for Twisteez yet, but I am going to help my son set up an Etsy shop to sell them- soon! I will let you know when they are available, in case you are interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
