Yes, it has been quite some time since I've last posted here.
I've been somewhat exploring myself; figuring out what appeals to me most and how I can use that to create a 'brand'.
I came up with the name before I really had any idea what I was about. I even thought about completely starting over.
Paypal made me upgrade to a business account and so now the packages I receive are marked for Peachy Keen Creations. Mom asked who that was when one was delivered to her house and I coyly told her that it was me.
Turns out she likes the name! I think that was what I needed. I guess because if she thought it was cute and it made her smile, then I did my job. After all that's what I want to deliver to customers!
Since then, I've discovered that I like organic, natural things most. I love the feel of leather and how perfect raw stones seem to go with everything. And every day I'm getting favorited more and more. It makes me happy to know that I'm slowly getting there.
I've also discovered that just because you've 'completed' something for a grade, doesn't mean you can't go back and work on it (So that's what they've been trying to tell me!). And so I think that while I'll be pretty prolific this spring semester, I'm going to make time to rework things that I'm not 100% satisfied with. Even if someone else feels like your piece is finished, YOU are the judge of that.
things worth mentioning:
-I am a finalist in the Etsy/NASA Space Craft contest
-I'm going to help paint a mural that will be part of my city, something everyone will see, something (hopefully) I can show my future kids.
-I had a great New Year's.
