The SciArt Tweetstorm is back! And it's almost over, by the time this post goes up. But there will be lots of cool stuff over at the #sciart hashtag to wade through.
It's been rough over here at this little bloggo, mostly because your girl can't hold down a full-time job and work on her passion projects and read ALL OF THE BOOKS and brush up on her lost languages (Russian, French, Korean, German...I hardly knew ye) and successfully run an indie biz or brand or whatever the heck this thing counts as. But holy crap I've been posting here for ten years, I can't just retire this bloggo either. And my Etsy is still open and sometimes people buy things from me. (And leave me 5-star reviews, which is amazing and very much appreciated!)
Maybe in the future I'll fold everything into one domain, my professional language self and this weird semi-pro crafty self and people will just have to deal with the mess. All this talk of niche! and branding! and whatever else! forbids it, but honestly? If I have a full-time job (with salary!), I don't need to market myself anymore. I can be myself. And the self I am—the whole, weirdo, complex self—reads a lot, thinks a lot about words in all kinds of languages, loves rocks and minerals, and makes the occasional piece of STEM-inspired jewelry. And will go to her grave with the serial comma clasped tightly to her chest.
I have two custom projects I finished that I should get around to talking about here, because they were really fun to do and because I'm proud of the work I did on them. I have a million beads and jump rings waiting to become finished products but hahaha first I better photograph my backlog first, and also when exactly do I have the time to sit down to make new things?
But wow, let's save that navel gazing for another time! The point of this post is supposed to be HEY SCIART TWEETSTORM IS LIVE.
