Success and Exhaust

I also have enough left over to put up my online shop which I will try to officially open and list items December 22, 2008. That way I can worry about that after finals and I am home to take my time with it. Also I can be able to get packaging and shipping items while I am hope.

All Nighter

I am soo exhausted because I have been soo busy lately! The art market started today and I just finished setting up my items. I was working all night long and got no sleep to prepare the price tags for all 109 items

The Beginning

The new layout for the website is finally up! A lot of the pages have been revamped and I will have to modify some more pages eventually. A link to my online shop on etsy is also finally available! Check it out soon to see some of the crafty products that I will have for sale! ;) Some things that I will be selling are jewelry, handbags, gift boxes, art, Christmas ornaments, and other random goodies.

Meanwhile I have been quite busy with college work, and our finals are coming up so it has been hard to manage my time for this and the shop. Besides the large amount of homework load, I also have workstudy and other activities around campus to attend. Next week during December 10th through 13th is the big Artmarket which I have been preparing for. I made so much jewelry, jewelry holders, ornaments, handbags, and gift boxes to sell during this event. The extras will be put online and I will make more to add online. Hopefully the market will turn out to be a huge success because I've put soo much time into making things! I feel like I am going to go crazy from all this crafting! So I will try to keep things updated as best as I can!

New Normal Exhibit

One work from the New Normal exhibit in the Decker Gallery that interested me the most was the Presidential Downtime Requirements for Dick Cheney. Usually I do not see setups of rooms to be regarded as an art piece in museums or other places for exhibition. Nowadays it is hard to find privacy in the world because anyone could easily take your information from you. Dick Cheney's information about his hospitality requirements, for example, was leaked out by an employee of a hotel he stayed in. An invasion of his own room is such a violation to privacy, and his note for special requests seems almost scandalist. Even though the note isn't information that offends, or affects anyone, it is still a piece that should only remain exclusive to him and the hotel employee responsible for the setup. Imagine if there were other valuables or classified information in his room that were not meant for the world to see? What if he had classified notes regarding our nation, world affairs, or other important documents that should not be left in the wrong hands? A simple curious employee of a hotel was able to easily make fun of his downtime requirements. With the growing amount of technology, the information we give out to the public must be taken with caution because sometimes it can get into the wrong hands.
