Today

Today I went to a meeting for Creative Arts Council. Donna and I are trying to get this group back on track and actually focus on marketing. We got a little bit accomplished, but left a little frustrated.

Donna brought a tote bag that she had made on Cafe Press with the logo of the "Fine Art at the Village" on it. I am going to look at that again. I want to get a tote bag with my logo on it. I might even get a shirt made. The shirt would be nice to wear for shows. Someday i will loose enough weight so that I can weave something that I will wear at shows.

Last night I finally got my www.etsy.com site set up. I showed that at the meeting and started to explain how to set it up. It really isn't that hard, just hard if you don't read the directions. My "store" looks cool, I got my logo on the top of my page and it really looks nice.

We met at Terri Voight's house. We went downstairs to look at her studio. She had bins of fused glass buttons sitting out. This was a very expensive meeting for me. I have some awesome buttons. I may make some purses for these, or put them on jackets as just decoration. Then Terri showed us how to needle felt. I had been thinking about this, now I really want to try it. Janome makes a needle felting machine, that is all that it does is needle felt. Terri's needle felted purses were so cool. She printed fabric for the linings. I got so many ideas, but I don't want to copy, but I loved what she did. Oh well, this will have to wait until after my next show.
