Dusting Off the Old Blog
It only took me 30 minutes to figure out how to sign into this blog. Not too shabby considering it's been 9(!) years since I last wrote. I started this blog 18 years ago which is a thought that completely astounds me. What a different place this internet thingy was back then. I often think it was a better place. Kinder. Safer. Smaller. It was easier to be seen. Easier to feel like you were part of a community. The jewelry making community, that is. Etsy was fairly new and suddenly it felt like everyone and their neighbor was getting in touch with their creative sides and trying to make a go of being an "artist." I had been working as an artist for a while at that time and the world of online promotion was a whole new animal that had to be tamed if I wanted to succeed. I was fairly computer illiterate then and not much has changed. At least I'm consistent. So here I am, dusting off the old blog, wondering if anyone still reads these things while not really caring too...
