Show and Shop Balance

Since I've re-opened by Etsy shop, I remember why it was a tad difficult to keep it stocked, and, prepare for my shows.



Because a good deal of what I sell is hand painted, handmade, redesigned, etc., it's quite time consuming.

Still, I've been trying to find a balance.




The last cherub angel I completed, sold at my last show.  This one will be going in my Etsy.




She'll be accompanied by lots of my numbered clothespins.




They've turned out to be one of my most popular items.




I'm also getting requests for some of my larger salvaged metal crowns. 




I'm almost finished with this one, and, I'm customizing one for a customer.





I was a bit under the weather after my last show.

Now, after much needed rest, I'm feeling better, and, feeling quite busy.





I'm also busy finding balance.  Taking really deep breaths on a regular basis helps.

I'll keep you posted on upcoming shows.

See ya soon.

    I completely get it. Finding balance is so difficult at times. My plate is always full and yet I smile and do only what I can do.

    Your art is so beautiful. That angel is absolutely gorgeous!

    Take good care Rosemary. I had a friend who was a fabulous painter. His paintings were so intense I swore they had voices. His works of art were very large, the smallest being about 2'x4'. After he completed a painting, he was always exhausted. Creativity is exhausting because it comes from somewhere deep down inside and it cries to be used up in order to gain more. Let yourself have time to refresh and refill.
