Social Networking...I will eat my words! How wrong I was!

When you are a " one-man-band", so to speak, and pride yourself in making every piece of jewellery yourself and by hand and then also have to try to find an 'audience' for it....well...you soon run out of time and energy for anything else.
So for years, I have used this as an excuse and have ignored the world-wide-web and what everybody now knows as social networking, or in my case my web site and Face book.

My studio location, is slightly of the 'beaten track', or what I mean by this: Not in a shopping area location. (However, still very well served by public transport.) So if you set out to buy a pint of milk, it is unlikely you will pass my studio at Creekside Artists in Deptford. Of course it is with this in mind that I now hope that my web site and my use of social networking (Facebook) will overcome this "Away from the High street" threshold. By using social networking I hope to bring my work to your PC and encourage you to visit a working Artist Studio.
I am now, going to quickly add, that this is not where my talents lie, I am still learning and thank everybody for their fantastic help and encouraging me to be a bit more 'with-it'!
To all of you, who I told it to be a whole load of cyber and un-real contacts...'I will eat my words' and apologise, I have met some fantastic people and have had many visitors to my studio! Once again, I am still learning to use all this, I still am a one-man-band and hope to spend the majority of my time making jewellery.

I can't believe it! I am now even blogging it!

Hopefully not 'blagging' it!
I do have something to say with my jewellery-designs and over the past few years I have made quite a few ladies, feel happy with the way they look. To get this feedback and have people come back for more, is of course my job satisfaction. For me the world is very visual, I need to see it, but for many they like to hear it or read about it. This brings me to blogging it. I hope to post some blogs from now on, of course with some visuals, but also write a bit more and start to tell the story about my work, before we meet in my studio. I have done two short films now, have a web site and am on Facebook, It sometimes feels like too much pushing my own ego...!! So hopefully: I will be blogging and not 'blagging'. Anyway...you can always tell me so, by leaving your comments.
