Some of you might be aware that this has been a long time project. I began working on it at least two years ago, so this is a milestone to have it released to the big-bad world.

This is the first in a series on sculpting the human form in polymer clay. Next will be on sculpting babies and/or hands. I know there are a large number of artist that already have sculpting baby information available, but I am looking at going above and beyond to make it well worth it to the customer.

Links of Interest

The first link is more of a personal one than art related. Since my last post a devastating tornado hit here in Kansas at Greensburg. I am sure you have all heard about it. These pics begin to show the destruction of the storm.

The next one is one that I am still wondering about. Some of you may recall me talking about NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month) last fall. Well, this June they branched out and began a Script Writing Program. You can find out more information at ScriptFrenzy.org

http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/

I am still wondering if I will participate. I was a part of NANOWRIMO for the previous two years, and this last year was a Municipal Liaison. Which just means I set up a place for writers to meet in my area, and I was in charge of herding them. The Script writing sounds interesting but I just do not know if I will be able to take the time to do it or not. Although it is only 20,000 words instead of 50,000......hmmmm

If it is ANYWHERE near as well run as NANOWRIMO if you are even thinking about it and have never done such a thing before I would strongly recommend it!

Ten things you can deduct as an Artist working from home.
--------
(Note- I am not a tax attorney, so be sure to contact a legal professional if necessary)

April 15th is only 7 days away! So if you haven't filed already, you are most likely feeling the 'crunch time'.

1. Magazines - That's right, any magazine that you purchase to read more about your chosen profession, or submit your art to is allowed.

2. Entry Fees - Time to dig out the information you filed away back in March of 2006 to enter your work in that competition.

3. Art supplies - Must have to make art. So remember to keep those receipts from Hobby Lobby and Dick Blick!

4. A portion of your rent/mortgage - You will find the necessary information most likely on your schedule C form.

5. Internet - Percentage of cost you use for business.

6. Hardware - Computer Hardware that is. Did you need to get a new Printer last year?

7. Maintenance - Upkeep of studio/office space, such as necessary floor covering, or wall paint.

8. Office Supplies - Paper used in printer, ink, envelopes etc that are a part of business.

9. Postage - Cost of postage for work sold, or for shows.

10. Travel Cost - Did you need to make a run somewhere to participate in a business activity? Be sure to take the deductions possible. But only those that apply to necessary business travel.

Shipping fees have been lowered in my ETSY shop so check it out! I will be moving things around this evening so keep an eye out for a clearance category.
---------
And speaking of moving around, I am upgrading the site's space. This involves moving the site to a new server. So, just in case, be aware that this may cause things to behave funky over the next 48 hours or so. I have not noticed anything yet, but just in case.
