There is quite the handful of rants on my hard drive cause i get annoyed about something and think 'i'm fuckn bloggin this' and then I don't. <br /><br />But it quickly comes to the point (for those of us who blog for free) where our blog can mean more to other people than it does to us. What happens then? <br /><br />Sales are all frozen in some weird state of nothingness right now, I've chosen the best possible time to get rid of welfare and go it alone, it would seem! I refuse to blame the economy but rather the fact I haven't listed much in the way of new things, and that I no longer understand how to reach my customers. Also what Etsy promotes and what we sell are two different worlds away.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637603317585526953.post-57214369439408159012013-05-15T19:47:29.198-05:002013-05-15T19:47:29.198-05:00thanks for being a funny fun loving inspirational
...thanks for being a funny fun loving inspirational<br />talented artist who shares with an open heart-I read your blog and yours alone everyday.

He's a big fan of your lolpic curation and he digs your jewels too.<br /><br />As for slow sales, maybe some more tutes? I'm afraid that like you I don't actually wear a lot of jewelry love it though I do. I'm also on a tight budget where we've classified supplies and literature as "ok" purchases but anything decorative like actual art jewelry would be only a special occasion buy (as in next to never).<br /><br />Destash and components are also on my legal buy list. I seriously doubt I'd be fast enough to snag anything like that from you because they'd probably sell out pretty promptly. (I don't know what I'm talking about btw, these are just my suspicions.)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16412454638068522178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637603317585526953.post-77278940147474614212013-05-15T05:33:49.850-05:002013-05-15T05:33:49.850-05:00Thank you for the cool science film!
And, Marina, ...Thank you for the cool science film!<br />And, Marina, your blog is most of all, for yourself. To get a community, feedback, friends. In fact, a blog is more about getting than about giving. Artists work mostly alone and need to reach out to keep getting fresh ideas, encouragement, solidarity. <br />You are a source of inspiration to many people and you have great humor, what is not to love?<br />Please, keep going, I'm always happy to see your blog appear in my blog roll.

Not only do you dig up the best, smartest cool stuff for us to look at, I also am eager to watch your ideas evolve and emerge.<br /><br />Sales are slow because times are tougher than they have been in the past for most of us. What seemed like plenty a few years ago isn't quite covering it anymore. On the one hand, lovely things to wear make the pill a little easier to swallow. But then again, it is a luxury, only slightly less necessary than electricity and gasoline. Acquiring gorgeous baubles gets triaged into third place...unless you count food as well (but that is probably a tie, unless your family likes to eat and doesn't get to wear your jewelry as much....then the food wins out, but it IS a touch call). <br /><br />Keep doing the blog regularly, because we ALL always need the community and creativity. The rest will work itself out sooner or later.Rebecca S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637603317585526953.post-32028062534840493062013-05-14T16:35:03.778-05:002013-05-14T16:35:03.778-05:00Marina, we still love you whether you have somethi...Marina, we still love you whether you have something to say or not.

First and foremost, a touchstone or gateway to the realm of things that beat (heart beats, drum beats, raves and rants for example,) and old footprints from things and persons from the past who have walked before me, and whose marks I can maybe follow, so that my marks can be left alongside and might be found by someone one day, and animals and such from the wilder side of things. Oh what am I saying? Everything is wild here. I feel like having a nip of whiskey when I visit you. For, you know, medicinal purposes. If this can be considered a love letter [of appreciation for you and your thinking and creating] then consider it so. By the way, I think your muse[s] are the luckiest sentient beings in the universe. Love your take on things. Norma, x<br />p.s. people practically accost me on the street to view and comment on a pendant of yours that I purchased on your etsy shop. I am not a woman of means, so I purchased it on sale, and it wasn't priced high to start with. I adore it. A-D-O-R-E!!<br />p.p.s. and you have inspired me directly. For years I've been sculpting things from plasticine, then making plaster of paris molds from the plasticine shape, and then making cast paper from the plaster mold, and then making things (puppets, marionettes, dolls, etc.) from the cast paper. Because of you (and some youtube tuts.) I now am inspired to make BIG pieces for jewellery bits (like heads that have faces with small teeth that are embedded bone chips or something whacky) and I am investigating kiln baked porcelein possibilities. I'd love to sculpt the porcelein clay. Maybe bake the bone chips right in the piece in situ. Lots of ideas. Because of you. You are a gateway for me. Thanks for being you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624917559654137641noreply@blogger.com
