A blog. You need to write a blog people tell you and deep down I have known that a blog is where I should go next but I have that problem, the little demon that sits on your shoulder and whispers in your ear, "But who would be interested in what you have to say?". "What do you do that could be of any interest to anyone but you?" What's more, I have tried blogging before as you can see further down the page but I have to say I struggled. It is not something that comes naturally to me!
A week or two ago, myself and three friends met to discuss our progress and plans for The British Craft Trade Fair which we are all taking part in at the beginning of April. We are quite diverse in our specialisms, Bec Gilray of
Do You Punctuate creates beautiful letterpress stationery, Liz Samways makes stunning sterling silver and copper etched jewellery at
InkyLinky and Margaret Glackin sculpts gorgeous ceramic yarn bowls and homewares amongst many other things at
Margaret L Glackin Ceramics. Despite our diversity we all have the same thing in common, we work alone all day submerged in our own worlds with no-one to bounce ideas off and so the chance to get together is really valuable. The lure of cake helps too!
At our 'business' meeting we got chatting about blogs, whether we have one or not, their relevance to a business and what sort of thing might be interesting to blog about and it turns out that I probably do have interesting things to share with you all. Apparently, what I do from day to day when creating my jewellery is interesting to my friends! My inspirations and the processes I go through to take a thought or an idea through to the end product are interesting! Who'd have thought it? So this is the beginning of a new journey for me into the land of Blog and a chance for you to see a different dimension to my work as well as the things I love and the lovely things other people make.
