Studio Day

I surrender............

This is how I feel about the internet today!  The weather is just too nice to be sitting in front of the computer so it's is a day for the studio!  I feel like working on my "Third Chakra"  wall sculpture today, something I've been thinking about  for about three weeks now.   It's about time I let it flow out through my hands instead of clogging things up in my solar plexus.  Yellows, golds, white rays, clearing, healing....oh yeah, it's time.

Before I go play, I wanted to show off this treasury by Etsy talent grahtoestudio entitled "Dreamscapes.....Feel Like This".   This shop is full of some really amazing items made from antlers...yes, I said antlers, so be sure and check it out!

Snow and Ice - An Etsy Treasury

I love staying home, but even I'm getting cabin fever from being snowbound.  Hopefully I don't go insane like  Jack Nicholson in "The Shining".  Hey now there's a book I haven't read for awhile...I remember I listed it as my favorite book when I was a senior in highschool......Good grief, is that book that old?  Am I that old?!  Fifty this year......ummmm, yeah, that's not old!!!!   Fifty is the new 30, didn't I hear that somewhere or did I just make that up to make myself feel better?.....lol

I'm participating in the  Great Handmadeology Chain Game Treasury Challenge.  The challenge is to keep creating treasuries that feature those artists who have featured you.  Some people, I notice, make GaJILLIONS of treasuries......I,  however, am almost a treasury making virgin.  

I made my first one a couple of weeks ago, and it....took.....HOURS!!  I don't even know how many times I'd be almost finished, then forget and hit the back button without saving and it all..just...disappeared.  Then I didn't realize the importance of contacting all the featured artists so they'd click and comment, so needless to say, my first treasury was a flop in terms of views, comments, and clicks. 

My second one called "Winter Wonderland" was a smashing success in comparison, 180 some views, a bunch of clicks and comments, plus it was a little faster to put together although still time consuming.  This one is called "Snow and Ice" in dubious honor of the copious amounts of snow and ice we've had in the past week, not to mention the fact that here in Northwest Arkansas we got about 6" more and it's not supposed to stop for the whole day!   If I start looking crazier than normal and start wielding an axe of some kind, blame it on Stephen King.

A Beautiful Treasury Showcasing the Handmadeology Team

The Handmadeology team on Etsy has got to be one of the fastest growing teams on that site. Well, maybe not since Etsy made it a requirement to join teams in order to post  anywhere. The point of that? Ya got me. It seems to me like there are other issues more pressing than forcing people to join teams.

Most of my Etsy education came from the business forum, and  anyone can still read it, but you have to join the "team" to post in it with your questions. That's a turn off to alot of people from what I've read. I joined the business forum team because it's an easy way to get exposure and get people to recognize your name. Pretty painless, really, once I got over the stubborn "I don't need no freakin' team" rant. 

The Handmadeology Team is playing a chain game which has resulted in tons of treasuries being made. I need to get my third treasury made today featuring those fantastic people who have featured me in theirs. I don't know about other people, but  I find treasury making really time consuming, although it's fun to be able to see people's shops more in-depth..  I was going to try the poster sketch today, but discovered they have discontinued it! So much for that treasury making short cut...ack.

This treasury is by fellow teammate, Lbtoyos.

My wall sculpture that was featured in this treasury is called "Breaking Free".  It measures about 23" wide, 28" high, and 3" deep.  It has eleven separate pieces of wood which are elevated giving it a sculptural quality.  It has texture, dimension, pattern, design, and if you like reds, it's got it all!

To see more groovy three dimensional wall sculptures, check out my Etsy shop.
