This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

I can tell. Or this can just be between us. Either way....

I've never spilled my thoughts on the digital page before. Seems weird, but strangely enjoyable. I hope it works out.

So I'm a maker. I'd say I was a craftsperson, but that makes me think of some androgynous gnome leaning over a chair, obsessing over caning techniques (and all apologies to any of you who would actually fit that description), I'd say I was an artist, but I'm crap at painting, drawing, and only mildly acceptable at sculpture. I'd say I was a designer, but I follow my obsessions rather than any set aesthetic. So that leaves me with maker, and it's a title I'm comfortable with. 

This just in... my dog is dreaming about barking and actually barking at the same time. Freak. 

I have a website where I hock my wares. It's J2Jewelry@etsy.com. If you've never been to etsy, you are in for a rare treat. There is a whole world of makers out there, people, and they want your money. Badly. So badly that almost everything listed is a pretty good deal. It's an amazing community. If you know all about it, then good for you, Smartypants. If not, you are welcome. Visit my site and let me know what you think.
