COMPUTER ISSUES!

Ela — Sat, 31 May 2008 01:23:02 +0000

Umm. So yesterday my computer decided to basically have a catastrophic crash and I’m currently unable to access any of my files.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH OUTSTANDING PRINT ORDERS – please check your email. &If I haven’t already gotten in touch with you I will be shortly.

The husband-creature is working hard to recover the data.

Cards that Sprout

This chick has the coolest shop. She makes paper goods out of recycled junk mail and embeds seeds in them. You can give someone a birthday card, they can water it and have a flower. Yay!

Artist Statements

Always a torturous but satisfying writing affair. The nice thing about them is that during the process of examining my work for the purpose of writing a statement, my focus is re-sharpened and my creativity stoked. I gain new perspectives but also remember the ones that were getting a bit lost or diluted.

”Writing is easy. All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until the drops of blood form on your forehead.”
- Gene Fowler

In other news, the husband-creature is currently installing french doors in the new studio area. It’s a better space than the old studio, but the lack of doors is frustrating. He promises the cats will no longer be breaking things by the end of today.

I’ll stop moving when they stop chasing.

Okay! So. I’m almost 100% sure this is the final and permanent home for my blog. Yes. I think I’m done moving. Kindly, if you have me bookmarked or linked elsewhere, could you update your info to point to the new URL?

Appreciate it ever so much.

I also plan on updating a little more frequently here, and with more than just the typical “lookee lookee, here’s my work” posts. Important or newsworthy posts will be pushed through to my main site, elasteel.com. If you’re interested in keeping up with all of the in-between brain dumps, then this is the seat to take.
