2012

So it's a new year, had a pretty miserable 'summer', as have most people on the North Island this year!
Been feeling seriously unmotivated to do anything jewellery-wise, which was NOT my plan! But hey, no point stressing about it. Got some ideas for this year, need to set myself up a good routine, but one that I will ACTUALLY stick to, that includes research, drawing, making, blogging...the lot really. Need to be a bit more active.

Had a 2am brainwave last night...of course, as always! Have a new idea to explore this year, think it will be quite fruitful and fun, and I get to play around with plastics and mold/cast making again...which I really enjoy!
So planning on getting into that soon.

Exhibition at Lopdell House in April, will be exciting. Need to start making for it though, always leaving it to last minute...only have 12 weeks, so need to start making. I have an idea in my head, which i always tend to do, but need to actually get making it. My usual dilemma.

Also would like to get my work into a shop...but need to actually MAKE some stuff to have in the shop, so think I will hold a market stall first...see what sells, then re-think....though.....what the market audience, and the audience of the shop I have in mind (a secret for now) are quite different...so testing it out at the market may not provide me with very accurate findings!!!!

So yeah....looking like a productive and busy 2012 jewellery-wise...and quite a stable year everywhere else...which will be amazing after two quite full-on, turbulent years...glad to be on the other side of those years!
