“Behind the curtain” working furiously and of course “Control Your Creative Clutter”

I am working on revamping a large percentage of Artist-How-To, from the site, to how it is marketed. So much so, that some would say it is insane! So sadly there are some things not being shown as I work frantically ‘behind the curtain’.

For one thing I realize my blog has not been that exciting lately. I can only hope that in a few months you (and I) will think it was all worth it :0)

Continues to sell very well….

“Controlling Creative Clutter: Organizing the Artist’s Studio”

Sixty-eight pages of tips, worksheets and information on organizing,
to help you get your studio or work area together and keep it that
way. As a working artist, Diane knows how difficult it can be to have
materials take over a work space.

Polymer Peeps and Link

I am still working away on my updated version of “Profit with Your Passion”, so there is no new sale this week. There is however one that expires tomorrow, “Polymer People”, a bundle of three for $19.49.

A friend was looking in a craft magazine and showed me interesting vintage images. They mentioned a person could download them. So later that day, when online I moseyed to the site. I was VERY impressed. While looking at the image collections and lessons, I kept telling myself “THIS is how I wished I had the time to present image collections.”

Everyone and their brother seems to be listing image collections of some sort on their sites. But IMO these are people that are doing it the ideal way! So they, of course, are my interesting site the week.

I am also proud to say that AFTER being impressed, I discovered they are from my area of the country. According to their site they are located in Kansas City, about 125 miles from my location.

Ecological Opinion

Does anyone know which is more ecological? Oil or Acrylic Artist’s Paints? My knee-jerk answer was to say acrylic. But, keep in mind acrylic is plastic. Plastic is a petroleum product.

With one you need Chemicals to clean up, with the other you are putting more plastic into the world. Which is better for the environment in the long run?

Drop me an email if you have an opinion or know where to send me for any up-to-date information.
