Spent the morning with my nose buried in a book. An e-book to be exact. One I bought from Kelly Rae Roberts a while back and promptly stuck in the virtual I’ll get to this later pile, AKA downloads. It’s called Flying Lessons . I’m only on part 1 but I’m flying. Already.
It’s about goals and blogging and selling your creative work online. Imagine that... It’s about knowing your passion, facing your fears and going for it. And it’s written by a woman whose done ALL that and more.
And then it’s about the nitty gritty DETAILS. But I’m not there yet. I’m only on page 33 after spending half the day on it. Because it’s the sort of thing you have to think about. Ponder upon. I can tell you one thing…I’m very excited by what I’ve read so far.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Meanwhile, I finally photographed a few more of the oil and cold wax pieces I made for the show in November. These aren’t the final photos but are good enough to post here.
Beneath the Surface. Oil and cold wax on cradled board. 2’x2′
Crop Circles, oil, cold wax and plaster on cradled board, 2’x2′
I can’t remember the name of this one. Calling it Crop Circles for now. Because it’s late and I’m tired. The right name will come.
More tomorrow.
I’m reading flying lessons too, I’m now on part 2. I have been really enjoying reading it, the links are fun and there is a ton of useful information. I’ve wanted to try to make a living with my art for so long, and Kelly Rae has really given me the inspiration to get going!
Ah, Rebecca, we are cyber sisters! Yes, we WILL carve out an online niche for our talents, of that I have no doubt. Kelly Rae’s advice ties in with so many other things going on in my life right now. It’s like I put her book away and then found it again at just the right time. I love the links to sources she has embedded within it. It think that’s why it’s taking me so long to read. Must check them all out.
Let’s definitely keep in touch with one another about this! xo
I really want to read this book, too.
Didn’t know it included the subject of blogging. 🙂
I ablsolutely love your work above! Wow!

Welcome Mary! The book comes in sections or you can get the whole shebang at once. I’m still early into it but if she covers the nitty gritty marketing details the way she does the blogging/goals/passion stuff it should be incredible.
Glad you like my work! xo
