Sapphire Blue Orb

Here is my latest project I'm working on which involves embedding tumbled glass & other objects into colored concrete tile adhesive. Can be a messy job with sometimes needing to use my hands to smooth out the concrete, so all the hand lotion companies are going to get a boost of sales from me! I'm not that old, but my hands are turning into the "crypt keeper's" hands. Just the other day I put something on E-bay and it required me to use my hands to hold the object and I shrieked when I saw my hands in the viewfinder. Delete....delete...... From now on my daughter will be my hand model.

Rant of the Day

Busy making my mosaic garden sculpture to be put on Etsy.com coming up soon. The site is still under construction, but my shop will be called CharkStudio. This piece is driving me around the bend as it is taking so long! I'm normally an impatient person, coupled with the drive to do things the correct way, so it has been a struggle to compromise these two personality traits without going round the twist. Going from a desk job back to a creative artsy business woman again has been a wonderful experience, but it also comes with its ups and downs, as its back to relying on myself rather than on an established company. Its a risk I'm willing to take however, judging by the economy, as even previously stable companies are teetering now.
