I’ve also spent a shocking amount of time on my big hobby: running decant circles for Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. It’s a really rewarding, fun hobby that fills my house with wonderful smells and is always very inspiring–and even though it’s not something I really make money from, and certainly not something from which I’m trying to profit, since starting to do decant circles a few years ago, I’ve learned a lot about efficiency, good recordkeeping, good customer service, and the ins and outs of the USPS, that has served me very well in my enterpreneurial/artistic efforts–but it’s also time-sensitive, which means sometimes it ends up taking time away from my real work.

Well, anyway, this entry is actually about a Treasury I put together on Etsy a couple weeks ago. I’d like to give these great items some more publicity, so here we go:

It is my new goal to make 7 entries in this blog in the next 7 days. Let’s see if I can keep it! I certainly have enough to write about…

I’ve also listed some more of my handmade beads, my favorites being these lovely sunset-colored pink and brown rounds:

And glazing away in my kiln right now are six vessels of various sizes and shapes! Woohoo!
