verthandi art: Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom of that september afternoon*

http://verthandi-art.blogspot.com/2009/09/jellybeans-glowed-in-semi-gloom-of-that.html

THE ACT OF BECOMING. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom. Of that september afternoon*. How perfect is the day when UPS leaves prezzies at your door? It's something I bought myself but those are some of the best kind. The Fairy Princess alerted me that 'something was different, someone was here.' I had to investigate, though I. What I'd heard was a car door slamming. How wrong I was! I need to make a copy of. Two Judges at the Weirsdale Keuring. For a while now,. I found a g...

verthandi art: The anvil is not afraid of the hammer.*

http://verthandi-art.blogspot.com/2009/09/anvil-is-not-afraid-of-hammer.html

THE ACT OF BECOMING. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. The anvil is not afraid of the hammer.*. I bought the anvil. I did. I've taken a couple pictures of it. Quick snaps, no glamour, so I need to put some vaseline on the lens, set up Butterfly lighting, hmmm, how would that work on an anvil, maybe I should go for modified Rembrandt—strike a pose! You're beautiful, baby! UPS delivered my silver Thursday last. Even put a 'raincoat' on it. And knocked. They knocked! How about cloisonned ones or champleve? Oh, H...

verthandi art: July 2009

http://verthandi-art.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

THE ACT OF BECOMING. Monday, July 13, 2009. I have my new book! I'm so glad I checked at the desk here at Books-a-million (by the Haunted Walmart). My book had come in, on the fourth and they 'tried' to call me. And here I was cursing their name and asking myself why I hadn't ordered from Amazon or from Alyson B. Stanfield herself. All moot now. I have my book. Now I will be getting beaucoup marketing knowledge. I need to take more pictures. I need to swing by Harmon's and see if I can find a nice gr...

verthandi art: If you can't make your mind up, we'll never get started*

http://verthandi-art.blogspot.com/2009/08/if-you-cant-make-your-mind-up-well.html

THE ACT OF BECOMING. Friday, August 28, 2009. If you can't make your mind up,. We'll never get started*. I've worked on my About Me. Gadget; I've made a few changes. It's harder than, well, really hard things. I've tirelessly searched countless blogs, maybe a half dozen or so, to feel how other bloggers have handled it, to understand what moves. One thing I can tell you- longer is. What must I do, then, to draw you in, get you hooked, make you beg, make you scream, um, keep you coming back for more?

verthandi art: Pulse bracelet construction worries

http://verthandi-art.blogspot.com/2009/10/pulse-bracelet-construction-worries.html

THE ACT OF BECOMING. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Pulse bracelet construction worries. The things that gnaw at me in the middle of the night. Reticulation silver has a more brittle temper, post-reticulation, than does sterling and definitely more so than copper. I have intended all along to rivet the reticulation strips to the copper wires prior to forming the cuff into, well, a cuff. How else am I going to do it? Will the increased temper pose its own problems? Will one or more of these strips crack?

verthandi art: June 2009

http://verthandi-art.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

THE ACT OF BECOMING. Friday, June 19, 2009. The famous Tribal Armbands, the only thing I got into the Student Show this last spring. The one on the brick is the weakest. I need to make some more, perhaps play with some sterling or try out keum-bo on copper. It's supposed to be possible. I exchanged emails with Cree and found out it is true- the Harn Museum Shop takes fifty percent of the selling price. Thanks but no thanks. How can anybody make any money that way? Friday, June 19, 2009. I also need to co...

THE ACT OF BECOMING. Friday, October 9, 2009. My first word was pickle. This never made sense until I started working with metal. Now I wonder if I was referring to Sparex or citric acid.

THE ACT OF BECOMING. Monday, August 31, 2009. Monsters from the Id. I'll confess I've been naughty. I don't much read blogs. I've been, slowly, delving into the whole blogosphere thing over these last months, getting my feet wet, dipping a toe in the water, slowly, slowly, slowly immersing myself- the water's dark and deep, mysterious and more than a little scary. I have Artful Blogging. That's the thing, isn't it? They make my skin crawl. Less than three weeks to the keuring in Weirsdale and I am so sto...
