And I like it a lot so far. Even when I completely embarassed myself in the forums with my pure unadulterated ignorance people were nice! Really nice! and helpful…on a forum! No flaming! It was hard to fathom, really. So I’m hooked already. They’ve got my love.
In any case, my store is called Wyvern Glass and I am selling hand-blown Pyrex and steel jewelry, fresh from my new glass-blowing studio in Park Slope.

It’s been a long time coming but it seems like things are firming up for me here in the big A (I say, and then begin to frantically knock on wood with all my heart while looking to the gods for forgiveness for even considering future stability). I mean, after everything I’ve been through it’s about time.
I am only selling one piece at the moment. I meant to get more up but I just bought a digital camera (yeah!) and it took my about two days to actually get some OK shots of my jewelry. After that ordeal, my remaining free time only allotted for setting up my account and putting up that one necklace. Hopefully I’ll be able to add more during the week. I’ve got some cool stuff that I’m excited about!

Here’s an art project I have been working on lately. It’s in no way complete… not even close, but I thought I would post it as I progress with it. This is really my first project since moving to the city in May. I am slowly beginning to get over running about like a chicken with my head cut off.
Well, this thing I made happened to me, not the other way around. It’s about 22″x 10.5″. It’s a combination of acrylic painting/marker and pen illustration, paper pulp sculpture, stuffed little velvet maggot eggs covered in adornments like wire, leather and beads- on a wood board.
It’s hard to take photos of this sort of object.

So here I am with a wordpress weblog. I’ve actually been meaning to start a blog for a very long time, well, ever since I got to NYC which feels like a couple lifetimes ago. I had this dream of getting my own domain a la www.my-name-something-something.com and creating a wordpress weblog there and also using the site to showcase my web design portfolio, art, music, photos and ramblings. I started creating the masthead and got frustrated with trying to make the design absolutely perfect because I felt like it had to represent everything I can do as a designer. Well, f**k that.
And then my friend Liz last week sent out an email with a link to her weblog. She has helped me see that I can’t really grow into a tired and cynical older woman because that just isn’t my style, or hers. Her writing is always such a pleasure to read, so full of humor and patience. If Liz can do it, I should too! And then I realized that it was indeed time for me to stop procrastinating and that that moment only minutes ago was as good a time as any for me to get my act together to have a presence on the web…well, besides one of the sites I create for other people.
I see this as part of my emergence into the world.
Within the last few years I have come to the realization that I have hidden myself away for the majority of my life. That has included my artwork (which was rarely shown to people), my interests (which I assumed no one would appreciate or take seriously) and my honest opinions. I have made the decision to express myself as much as I can and I am constantly working on feeling safer to do this. People I effect just might be better for it.
I plan to acquire a digital camera and document my daily life here in the craziest place I have ever lived hands down, and I’d also like to post up artwork, my own music and the music of others that inspires me. Sooner or later, I’d like to customize the CSS on this page and make the design unique, but that might be a while. It’s hard for me get excited about doing any coding in my free time. In theory, it sounds great, but in reality, it might be few months. But I’ll keep changing the header picture whenever the mood strikes me.
