Do you know what it's like to stand on the edge of a cliff knowing you have to jump. It really is not an option to back down. All the steps you have taken have just brought you to this one place. You have no option with the next step. You have to jump or go home. I'm going to jump.
I've been playing at " Jewelry Designer" for a long time it seems. Not really ever taking it serious. The entire time however I knew I wanted this to be something more then a hobby. I don't want to make myself pretty things to wear. I want to make them for you. Granted I have sold things here and there before. Taken a basket of items to work or been part of a craft show or two. But I don't make crafts. I make jewelry, I make art. I'm calling myself an artist for the first time. I have said before in the past that I am not am artist, I just string beads and play with wire. But the difference between what I do and what artist do is what they call themselves.
My name is Michelle, and I'm an artist.

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for you! Way to be with taking this next step. I hope you have fun and I hope you're successful. Feel free to get in touch with me so I can take a look at your work. I really love art and jewelry, so this is the best of both worlds for me. :) If you ever need beads, I've got a box full I don't use and would be glad to donate to the cause, so to speak.
Take care,
Emily :?)
Does being an official artist come with a French beret? Because I'd like to see that... would be a distinctive look for you! ;-)

To be continued.
If you don't create, you don't exist and if you don't exist why are you taking up space. I'm not depressed just depressing. Nothing is worth doing that it does not become work even if you love it. One of the true meanings of love. Your an artist, so I'm supprised. Been telling you have talent so make it your love. I did for 42 years. Dad
