• Mosaic madness

  First, the obligatory art:

  

  I call them “Little Magpie Mosaics”, since they’re less than 4 inches on a side, but that’s four inches of fabulous. Probably good for hanging in a nook or something like that. Super cute, eh? Want one? Then check out the ol’ Ets, yo.

  I’m trying to decide whether to sell the ocean mosaic. You all seemed very excited about it, haha. I don’t know if i could bear to part with it, but maybe I’ll just stick it in the shop for a couple hundred bucks and see if someone is silly enough to bite, hahaha.

  I’m such an art whore ; )

  hey! But some good news. I went for my jobby job interview at the gallery today, and they hired me on the spot. I was immensely flattered. Funny thing was, I wasn’t nervous about it beforehand or anything like that. I just went in and chatted up the owner, and we had a lovely conversation about art and jewelry design. So I start next week, and I met a bunch of my new coworkers already. I have a good feeling about this- aside from getting to hang out with beautiful objects and pretend I’m all super chic for three days a week (but not so much that i miss my jeans and my feet hurt all the time), it feels like I might really learn something useful there. I remember the first gallery they had in my grandmother’s town- it was one of my favorite places to visit when I was a kid. And now I’m working for them! A few of the salespeople even have their work on display in the gallery, which would be FAN-TASTIC for me. So I’m thinking this is some kinda kismet.

  And then when I got home? I found out some of my jewelry and art papers had been sold. And my showcase feature isn’t even until tomorrow, so i’m hoping this bodes well! That totally made my day, because if i can keep all this up, I just might have time to make more art, teach a class, earn a little gallery experience, and pick up a couple new tricks. Oh, and pay my bills. that, too.
