Finally, you may have noticed my lovely placemat where the photos were taken. I found this treasure at one of my favorite stores, Ikea. I think it cost a $1 to $1.50 and when you are working and you need a straight edge, voila! It’s right under your nose. I use it for everything from rolling out metal clay, checking sheet metal and wire for a straight edge, and keeping my bench clean.
These tips are primarily for the beginner but even though I’ve been around a while, I’m thrilled when I find something so simple that it makes my work easier. I hope there is something here even for experienced artists. That’s what you are, you know. Artists.
I pronounce thee ARTISTS!
I’ll never forget the first time someone called me an artist at a show. I started thinking about it and realized that if others thought of me as an artist, that I should think of myself as an artist too. So, start thinking of yourself in that way and continue to grow. Today you are an Artist! Judy said so!
