I just wandered upon a lovely blog site, The Synchronity of Indeterminacy, explained by the author as, "Found Photo Stories: Life and Art Linked by Photographs
A study in creativity, this site features one-minute short stories inspired by found photos, an idea based on the Indeterminacy recordings by John Cage, pairing one-minute short stories with random sounds."
What wonderful reads, he provides. Seriously, I could get lost here all day!

Driving traffic to your site and getting press...
While checking email last night, I read Tammy Powley's About.com: Jewelry Making newsletter.
She had a list of jewelry blog sites that I clicked through quickly.
One of the sites, by Peggy Li (who has recently had some of her jewelry featured in Lucky magazine as well as on Grey's Anatomy), offers some really great advice on driving traffic to your website, as well as gaining press (You'll also find great links to other in-the-know sites.) You should check them out pronto, if you're into that sort of thing:)

The Postcard Game - Sounds like fun!
I stumbled upon a blog by Jennifer Dangerfield (what a great name!) and she's recently started to turn her jewelry design into a business, it sounds like.
As a way of commemorating and celebrating, she's started The Postcard Game.
Here's what she has to say about it:
"The question is this: would you be willing to send me a postcard (kitsch or cute, reality or technicolour touch-up, beauty or beast - the choice is yours) from wherever you are in the world to me in little old England? In return, I would like to offer you some beautiful jewellery as a prize.
Briefly, if you email me & tell me that you'd like to play, I'll send you a code number for every postcard that you'd like to send. Whenever I receive a postcard, I will scan it & post a picture of it along with the code number on this blog. Come the day of the draw to be held in, let's say, a month's time after the start of the competition, I shall press-gang my MILlie ( Mother In Law) into drawing a number out of the hat. Don't worry - there'll be some innocent bystanders to ensure justice."
She's also decided to donate $1 for every postcard she receives (cut off at $250) to Ovarian Cancer Action. Like me, she lost her mother to ovarian cancer after her mother (and Drs.) mistook the symptoms for menopause. I think it's a great idea and a worthy cause, so if you're reading this, I think it would be a nice gesture to head on over to Jennifer's site and comment so she can send you an address for the post card! (Oh yeah, she's also holding a drawing with prizes - her own beautiful jewelry!)

Ever wondered what goes into making a fine art print?

Ok Already!!
Well, since I had so many posts about beer, and nothing so far about glass or thoughts, I decided that I'd simply start another blog specifically for beer. You can visit it at http://beer-calyxann.blogspot.com/
