Hiatus Come Undone

Obviously it's been a long time since I've written a blog. For those who love cryptic verbage: new stuff is on the way. What has gone on in the last 4+ months?

Job-wise: more or less I'm doing the same thing. I've taken over the gift department lead position at the bookstore and I'm doing sales tracking, loss prevention, and merchandising.

The post-college art burnout is officially over: I took a printmaking class at Brookhaven College this summer and enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm hoping to take the second level this fall. I might also take some digital art classes as well, since I feel like I'm behind on the times. Pics of proofs and work will appear soon.

I'm teaching myself to make handmade books and by September I plan to get my etsy up and running with them and some new jewelry pieces.

Come April, I'm taking a week-long class in Penland, NC to learn book restoration and repair. I'm super-excited to learn this skill and hopefully develop a portfolio of repair and take on some commissions.

Next up? I'm going to California for 4 days to see my grandmother and take a breather from work.

More news coming soon...
