A couple new book reviews came up on the Cauldron, and I went to peer at them and then went to note down what I wanted in my list o'stuff. Then I went prowling for a bit, and encountered in my recommendations the work of Ali Jihad Racy, who I'm pretty sure is the artist that [livejournal.com profile] niankhsekhmet recommended to me. So that went on the list too. (I need to win the lottery or something.)

Having a discussion with [livejournal.com profile] jonsinger about glazes and such; need to follow up on that and drop him an email. He gave me a recommendation of a book that I must own. ([livejournal.com profile] teinedreugan asked me to wait a month so PantheaCon successfully gets swallowed up in the recovery of the bank account, but as I said, I'm in no extreme hurry.) I have this weird little notion of actually setting up a business of sorts in a couple-three years, and so research and resources so that I can learn the stuff that was pretty much rote-from-recipe in school, like glazecraft. (I know there's a market for traditionally-styled offering bowls, because people keep telling me they'd buy them if I made them.)

I dropped my mother a line since she's had an arts business for as long as I remember, asking her about how she organised it and such. ([livejournal.com profile] elisem, do you have any thoughts on the organisation of sales of crafted shinies?)

Peering at drak.net stuff, too; I'm thinking of at some point using them as a hosting service, [livejournal.com profile] jenett likes them and has made good points about supporting pagan-owned woman-owned small businesses. I need somewhere to stash The Adventures of Fairly Standard Man if [livejournal.com profile] oneironaut and I ever get that project off the ground; if I go that pottery-dealing route I'd want somewhere to stash that; I also have another project that's still in the "I'm not admitting I have a project" stage, but which wants webspace someday.

My father called from the airport; I wished him a happy almost his birthday. He's going to Turkey. I told him about the gay penguins and their adopted egg, and it improved his day.

I think I need a spare body. I'd deputise a few of me to going and doing things with it, and maybe accomplish a more significant fraction of the things that want accomplishing.

(I should wash the strawberry stencil and make progress on the hallway, too.)

Wonderful idea! The nice thing is that if you do it online, you can start small without making a huge commitment to materials and such.

Re: business


Offer a custom design option-- people will pay huge amounts of money for that sort of thing. Case in point: http://www.longlocks.com/ (Wow, some glass beads on a stick for sixty bucks a pair... and some are a lot more expensive than that.)

Okay, you just broke my brain .... Several years ago [livejournal.com profile] jonsinger and I worked together--I've still got a lovely little blue pot he made, and many fond memories of incredibly delicious chocolate. *shaking head* This world is getting entirely too small.
