I was working on a new design for this website and I thought I would wait with this new blogpost until the new design was finished. Well, things can go different then you had planned.
The biggest problem is ME! I am a perfectionist and the new design must be responsive, nice looking and pixel perfect. After working on a few themes and not happy with them, I have decided to put the new design on hold for a while.
Creation is Messy (CiM) is developing new colors constantly and as a tester for CiM, I am one of the lucky ones to see and play with the new colors first. There are 10 new colors being introduced in March. They are beautiful as always.
You can see the new colors also on CiM’s website and maybe you will notice something. ;-)
Thursday an unexpected package arrived. I was thrilled to see the 17 new CiM (Creation is Messy) glass rods in the box. Thank you Kathy for the lovely surprise.
My hands were itching and I ran to the studio to make lentils for my color charts. As soon as the kiln was ready annealing, I cleaned the beads and started photographing them. The new colors are added to the CiM cart on this website.
Here are a few photos I took with my phone. ;-)
You can enlarge any photos by clicking on them.
These are the new colors, I know I want to stock up on a few of them!!
If you want to see the process of how I make my color charts, have a look here.
Next post will be about my photo studio and how you can have your art work photographed by me.
End of September I had an operation on my left hand (I am a lefty!!) The operation (Thumb Arthritis) requires a long revalidation and the first months where not so nice.
The last few weeks I have been busy downsizing my glass studio so I can use part of it as a photography studio. I have to many tools, equipment, glass, etc so I have a lot for sale in my second hand webshop.
Being robbed of your dominant hand is difficult, but it was worse I couldn’t hold my camera and I couldn’t make beads. The camera was the first thing I picked up again after 4 months and yesterday I made a few beads!!
Clearing out a lot of stuff I don’t use any more and rearranging my vast collection of glass, takes a lot of time. And my hand is not functioning like it should so it takes some time.
Last week I got a packet from Kathy Seamonds from Creation is Messy (CiM) with 16 new colours glass. Thank you Kathy, this was a good excuse to stop clearing and moving stuff around and go sit at the torch and make some beads!!
The new CiM colours are beautiful. Here are the 16 new colours, aren’t they pretty?
So the renewal of the studio is not finished, I need to do a lot more before I can move in my professional flash lights, backgrounds etc.
But first we are celebrating Carnaval starting on Saturday!!
