My students are so amazing! I wanted to introduce some of them on my blog today and show you some of the fabulous pieces of jewelry they have been creating in my classes, Addicted to Metal Clay at Blue Raven Art school and Fun, Fast and Fabulous Metal Clay at Tucson stained glass. We have a lot of fun, and their designs just keep getting better and better too! These are just a few of my regular students and I hope to have more students and their work for you to see from time to time…

I don’t want to talk about it!

"Floral Fantasy"

“Floral Fantasy”

You may (or may not) have noticed that I am not blogging as much as I used to. Not that I was ever setting the world on fire with this humble little blog but I was trying for once a week…. now I’m trying for once a month. Why? Well, I’ve been trying to prioritize my to-do list. No matter how much I do, the list seems to get longer, and longer, and longer. I have spent so much time doing all the things that everyone else said I should do in order to run a successful business….(you know, Face Book social networking, blogging, newsletters, shows, networking groups,,,,,the list goes on and on.) I found I had significantly less time to actually work on jewelry! I recently came upon this quote from Lou Danziger, “No matter how brilliant, talented, exceptional and wonderful the student may be, without work there is nothing but potential and talk.” Wow, I thought to myself, if even the brilliant, talented and exceptional must work to become more than ‘potential and talk’, then how much more should I be learning and doing and actually working on making my jewelry better? The saddest part of it is that I am actually so focused and happy when I am creating in my studio, and so not happy when I am only doing all the other stuff. It’s not that I don’t like being social and blogging, I do, but my priority has shifted and I am putting a plan in action to focus on my students and on becoming a better (working) student myself! So forgive if I say, I don’t want to talk about….. talk is cheap, I’m taking action! By the way, “Floral Fantasy” pictured above is a piece of my latest work.
