I saw these wicker baskets in Terrain’s ad. Maybe I’m weaving for the wrong market?

I wish I could figure out a way where I didn't have to "sell" my work. Each piece is different, and made by me alone. Galleries are disappearing here in the states and few shops buy fine craft outright anymore. I'm pleased to hear that you've figured out a way to reach a good audience for your bags!!

Lovely. Words seem too finite.

I wish I could see you drive by and honk my horn :) I'm afraid the bright makeup did make me think of "Baby Jane..." I have an ex-sister-in-law who has donned the flowing clothes and looks like a billion dollars. Not me. Oh well.

Re: What I Might Do With This Extra Tuition Money . . .

Kari — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:43:57 -0000

My mother used to be a smoker, then gave up cigarettes. For years and YEARS afterwards she was able to justify buying fun things here and there! I'll have to think about the "extra" money concept ... the idea doesn't come easily. (I like the library ladder idea, but I'd have to build a library first!)

What a great post. I know the part about wearing black and have to remind myself that invisible isn't always "best." As for speaking up ... that at least, I've discovered to be easier than when I was younger!

I loved your mom's comment "NO!"

Please tell Bob Lerman that yes, there is a great deal of difference between a Ferrari and a Kia. Also, regarding health services, there is an 'availability' difference. The quality may be the same for rich and poor, but if you can't pay for it, the quality is irrelevant.

One of the first things I do every year when I get to the island (in Norway) is to gather wildflowers for the table.

Beautiful space. The floors and walls create an environment of part stark gallery, part intimate residence. Does the gallery have a website?

Re: Irene – You Bi***!!

Thank-you for adding a lighter side to Irene's visit. The only things of significance I lost were power for 6.5 days and some sanity.

Re: Photography everywhere – the Instagram phenomenon

@David Sanger Because I know it's a low res image and it can't be "perfect," it frees me to just play and post (I'm usually a slave to Photoshop). I'm having fun with it!

Re: Art Fair Etiquette: An Informal Survey

There is a point that attendees might keep in mind. Unlike Sunday afternoon flea markets where venders might sit and socialize as a reason to be there, the more high end the show, the more the artist has probably invested to be there. They are there to sell. I've heard comments like "I should have left my credit card at home," or worse ... "I left my credit card at home on purpose."
... just saying.

Definitely a "teaser." If you've got a notification list, when it comes out, would you add me?

I was just introduced to your blog by The Daily Dose of Architecture. This stone work is wonderful.

I love this designer!

Thanks for commenting on my blog, I wish you'd written so that it would link people back to this site! I'm really enjoying what you post.

Fascinating exterior lines. I'd love to see the inside ...

This is a wonderful article. I've only recently gotten to know Juliet Harrison and her work. Reading this article deepens the appreciation! Thank-you

Re: Social Media Needs To Become a Team Sport

Kari — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:04:50 -0000

I was introduced social media this spring via Simon Ford. I've seen the best and worst of egos at play since then. One of the most positive experiences I've had was watching videos of a conference hosted by the US Embassy in Zagreb, Croatia http://bit.ly/7gWkMq (The video's sound isn't good but the cross cultural discussion was. Kent Collins, David Mathison, and J. Eric Braun were the guest speakers from the US.)

Re: What Everyone Wants

Kari — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:04:05 -0000

Growing up I had parents who always believed in me and thought what I did was wonderful. (I was "artistic.") After a while though, I wasn't sure I believed them. I knew that not everything I did was good. But, they were "consistent" and so I listened to their love, if not always to their words.

As a grownup, it's harder to find people who take the time or make the effort to believe in others. Life has gotten more complex. Finding those rare stars, make it all worth it.

Re: How Friendships Are Changing

Kari — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:42:41 -0000

Friendships I've made over the internet have the virtue of being nurtured in a way that the older ones, based on history aren't. Because I use social media as part of my business, these new friends share activities that I'm involved with on a daily basis so we can actively update each other without much effort. Recently a few of my longest kept friends have started to become more internet active, and that has been a joy.

Also, as I get older, I need different things in a friendship. Nothing can compare to having a close friend there to hug when I really need it, but I've found people via the internet with whom I have more in common than those who live in town with me. I cherish the connections I've made. Will they last and survive the test of time? ... We'll see. And in the meantime, I'm having fun introducing the groups to each other!
