Overwhelmed!

Directing is: you’re overwhelmed the whole time. Your mind never stops. If you care about it, you wake up in the morning and you begin thinking about it and then you go to sleep at night and you’re still thinking about it.

Sometimes jewelry making must be like directing a movie – according to this quote. Your mind never stops – I need to order more box clasps, where is that strand of jasper I bought, do I have time to knot that strand of freshwater pearls… Well, that might be an exaggeration ’cause my mind stops at the most inopportune time. When the customer ask “What is this stone – it’s so pretty?” When the tax man says “Are you going to have a profit this year?” And most of all, when you’re right in the middle of a sentence and your mind goes blank. I’m assuming Campbell Scott doesn’t have this problem.
I do have a feeling of being overwhelmed right now — I’m a third of the way through November and I still have 4 events to do yet this year!
I’m doing a show at St Luke’s Episcopal Church in Madison at 4011 Major Ave Madison November 21 from 9-3pm.
One Thanksgiving weekend, you will find me in Janesville at Book World on Milton Ave doing a section of the Art Loop during the day 10-4pm.
December 5 and 6 I’ll be in Oregon at the High School Commons area with my jewelry. There are 24 artists – or maybe a couple more with a variety of one of a kind or limited edition art pieces. Photography, watercolor, jewelry, painting, fiber arts, woodworking, gourd art, and more will be available for those of you finishing up your Christmas shopping. 10-6 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday will be a wonderful time to shop a great gathering of local artists.
Beloit Wisconsin has a yearly Christmas event called the Hollidazzle — it sounds quite exciting and I’m looking forward to this. Beloit has had event for quite a few years. I’ll be at at The Villager on 429 E Grand Ave Friday evening December 11 from 5-9pm.
And now you will understand why I feel overwhelmed. In addition, I’m trying to improve my photographic skills so my jewelry looks more ‘lifelike’. Personally, I didn’t know jewelry could look ‘lifelike’ but in a class last weekend that’s what I was told. So you will notice my pictures are once again changing – adding to the overwhelming feeling of trying to cram too much knowledge in this old brain of mine!!
Please feel free to come and shop at any of the events listed — but if you can’t get there, please feel free to email me with your jewelry wishes.
