I made it through my last show of the summer season. I luckily felt pretty well. I even ate some cheese bread and part of a calzone. I know, there's nothing like being sick for a whole week and then jumping right into some calzone, buts that's what I wanted. At least I didn't go for the bbq calzone. Hehehe, oh that sounded so good. The show was okay. There were a lot of talented artists there and a lot of lookers, but not a lot of buyers. I did meet a nice woman that holds home shows and she told me that she features local artists at her shows and said that she would be interested in featuring me if I would like. So I think I might go to her next one and I might take her up on that offer. That's a pretty awesome offer. I'll keep everyone updated on that.
I've been spending a lot of time with J's band mates and I've been thinking about offering a few music related things. I've been playing with all the guitar strings I've been collecting from J over the years and I think I have a few good ideas down. I made myself this bangle with some leftover beads and some strings (I know the picture is awful). I love how it looks and I have a few other ideas I'd like to try too. I'd like to try braiding the thick wires, I think that will look great. And we have a few different ideas for adding clasps.
I have also been thinking up a few different beading ideas and I think I'm going to get a loom to try out these ideas on. J has promised he'd make me a loom, thank god for engineers, right. So he's been looking at different looms and planing mine out. I can't wait for it to be finished. Hopefully I can figure out this whole loom thing. I tried it once before and it didn't go over so well, so I'm hoping it will work better this time. So I'll have to post some pictures as soon as I try my newest "experiment."
So I'll keep everyone updated on my latest ideas and post some teaser pictures soon.

That is a very cool idea. I have a guitar playing husband and nephew. i may have to think about ways to recycle their old strings in my crafting too.
Good luck with the home show. It sounds pretty promising.
