First Day-First Post


Well, here goes...my first blog, my first post.
The purpose of this blog is to talk about creativity. That of my own and of others' creativity. And, to avoid cleaning my house.
From my blog title you can figure out that I like polymer clay. I have been working and playing with this versatile medium on and off for 10 years and more. After making all sorts of home decor items and wall rosaries, larger rosaries that you hang on your wall, I have finally settled on jewelry.

I recently began selling my jewelry on Etsy.com. It wasn't long before I was invited to join the eSMArts Team, which is a team on Etsy to help other etsians, as we are called, market themselves, their product and their websites. Realizing that pretty much everyone else on the team had their own blog, and seeing the marketing potential, not just for myself, but my team members and others, I decided to bite the bullet and give blogging a try.

So here it is. I spent all morning trying to figure this out, went to work in the afternoon, and came home to get this done. Needless to say, my house is still a wreck.

Congratulations on this start to your blog! I am keeping our blog simple as I find the picture placement still confusing but it's better to keep it simple and put in an entry once a week than make it too complex and not do anything.

Good luck! Ken

I love that pendant! It reminds me of altered art, which I love very much and have been experimenting (a tiiiiiny bit) with.

Yay on your new blog!
