My one new commitment is to start blogging again and to start blogging again means I need to start working in my studio and craft room on a more frequent basis
If all goes well I should be finally able to do a show in July and to do that I need to make a lot of things in preparation.
I already contacted the Purple Turtle committee to make sure I get a spot , bought a new pop up tent for the show.
In preparation I thought I would look back at that long list of things I wanted to get done in 2020 (yes 2020 )
1. Create a Vitrograph kiln and set it up - I purchased all the fixins for this years ago and have the kiln so just need to build a set up to pull from - NOPE Totally forgot about this almost right away but I may work on this project in 22
2. Clean up and get all my daughters boxes stored to the back corner - almost did this last year - enough so I could walk around the studio
3. Get all my books and magazines (that are in totes from my downstairs room that got taken over by my daughter ) either stored/stacked to back of studio or get some bookcases to get some of them out and accessible - I moved them around but they are not truly accessible but I know where they are
4. clean up my Pen turning equipment area (I left it a mess during the winter ) Ughhh no - this spring for sure
5. Clean up BIG kiln area so I can get in and start fusing - yes I cleaned it all up and now I have filled that area again since winter
6. Clean up my wine bottle area - its overflowing with bottles - sort of still needs work
7. Work on Some PMC Clay - nope
8. Do more steel etching plates- nope
9. Do more copper etching - earrings, pendants, bracelets- nope
10. Make more recycled glass Plates (round and square min 50)- nope
11. Make more recycled glass candle holders (min 50 )- nope
12. Make more fish large and small-nope
13 Make more cats regular and fat Paddy-nope
14 Make more lamp work jewelry (bubble necklaces min 10)-nope
15 Paint and finish a tiger or any other painted project -nope
16 Make painted beads-nope
17 Make more turtles -nope
18 make more dragon eyes-nope
19 make more hearts-nope
