Here’s a bit of craft humor that I ran across on Modish to brighten your day. (Beware of being blinded by the golden pants!) I think I’ve finally figured out why I get the looks I do and the totally unrelated questions when I tell people I make craft…
Modish is worth checking out as well, it’s a nice design blog. They’ve also have a section call Modish Biz Tips that deals with all things self employed/small business related. Check out the recent post with the lovely and talented Karin Eriksson of Karin’s Style Blog.

Oh!!!! How exciting, emails have been slowly trickling in with gorgeous pics that I can’t wait to show you each and every day next month. Such lovely pieces so far and such lovely emails to receive, i’m going to do my best to find the time to email everyone back, since you’re all just so darn sweet! In the meantime keep sending in your pictures (spots are still available!), and to tide you over here’s some of the gorgeous work of Non Fiction Design out of Columbus. Bonus points to those who can tell what the pattern on the first piece is…
Non Fiction design is the handy work of
each with an amazing portfolio individually, and then get them together and wowzers. You may have seen them recently in Ceramics Monthly. Check out their blog for insight into their projects and what’s up and coming to look out for, or their website for more images and background on the group and the individual projects (like the residency they just completed in Dresden). And last but not least check out their etsy shop for some nice pieces to add to your home!

So i’ve been thinking lately that this blog is visually quite boring. What I mean is that when I get to read everyone else’s blogs they always look so nice filled with images and eye candy to inspire, provoke thought and well, just to look pretty. It’s hard with calls for entry to have alot of images…So here’s the deal…I was thinking that since I’ve got this great readership every month (yes you know that you’re all wonderful!) why not showcase more of the readers work? So i’m going to give this a try and it’s sorta up to you guys if it works or not, but here goes…for the month of April, each and everyday (along with the usual musing posts about calls for entry, etc.) I want to post an image of a readers work. So here’s where you come in…The first 30 people (literally, there will be no selection process) to email me with an image of their work, a link to their site if they have one (not a requirement that you have one), and a two sentence or so bit about them, their work, the color of the sky in your place in the world, or your favorite ice cream, glaze color…whatever, you get the idea. This is a first come, first serve sort of thing, no preference given to those of you I know, and likewise no points against those of you I know. Just whoever gets an email to my inbox first! Who knows, if it works maybe we’ll keep it up each month!
