back to the drawing board

So, the Inverted experiment didn't work out..

I didn't even manage one sale!!

It was kind of them to take me on but I guess it just goes to show, you need to position yourself carefully. Ladies jewellery in a body boarding shop was perhaps an ambitious experiment. They have offered to take some of my pieces again later in the year once winter is over and people are actually inhabiting the shop. But I will need to think about it.

My resin is now in the post and on the way home, which I'm quite excited about actually. Although it didn't sell in Port Stephens, the batch I sent was still the slickest run I've done so far and it will be nice to have it back so I can sell it elsewhere - local markets or online.

If past performance is any indicator it will sell easily on madeit.com.au. But I might do a market stall at Gorman House with it instead.

In other news, it's fair to say the past three months or so have been a creative black hole.

All my extra energy has been spent on sorting out houses and moving, but thankfully that saga has come to an end and we're finally in our new place. Bec has arrived home from the UK, which has brought a nice relaxed vibe to the house. I am feeling more settled here than I was - though it would be nice to have some heating.

It's is fair to say I am aching for something to throw myself into at the moment. I am projectless and it's killing me!

However - now the move is over my focus is back on getting to a better space professionally and creatively.

A friend and I have some ideas for a publishing project floating around at the moment, which could turn out to be very interesting indeed. It's too early to say much, but details will follow as they come to light.
