I've been doing a bit of mental revamping and planning for a new direction for my work. I've been beyond burnt out on recycling vintage for a long time however that's what my stores and customers want so I've been accommodating them. However, I find myself dreading putting things together the same old way with the same old components. I can't tell you what I'm up to (b/c then I'll jinx it) but I can tell you that I will be retiring my soldering iron for Storybook Charms and moving into a more streamlined (and easily reproduced) direction. It takes forever to create one of these pieces,
to get it just right with all the perfect bits and bobs and to do that a zillion times for stores and shows and my site is nothing short of torture. I used to love it but now...I LOATHE it. There is a certain appeal (at least for now) of repetition for production's sake.
I have three shows coming up and we'll see then how the public takes the new stuff (gosh please let me be over the learning curve by then!). Hopefully I'll even have my rebrand up and running soon, too. I'm blessed to have an extremely talented friend who is willing to take on a logo redesign.
By the way, how did October, the most amazing month EVAH, come and go so quickly? I never even had pumpkin cheesecake like I usually do. And I turned 41 without nary a balloon or cocktail. Damnit.
Okay, November, whatcha got?
