How a modern digital design can have these ancient echoes, and not just because of the faux aging process.Jon Burgesshttps://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JBDRusticOrganicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092482901439814613.post-89597646780922512662015-07-19T12:54:05.723-07:002015-07-19T12:54:05.723-07:00I've just come across your stuff via Polymer C...I've just come across your stuff via Polymer Clay Daily which led me to have a good root around on Pinterest, Etsy etc. Love the way you make things which have modern aesthetic but look like ancient battered artefacts.

As a lifelong freelancer, it's something I know well. I shall look up this 'Oasis' thing. I'll probably get loads of google results for the band of that name and the foam stuff you can poke flower stalks into that's also called 'Oasis'. . . but still, I shall persevere. <br />I'm glad you like my work. My Etsy shop does OK for what it is, but I need to step up a level, which requires me to work out what that means, and how to do it ;-) Getting seen is the key, I agree. <br />Thanks for taking the time to extend the hand of support, it has put a smile on my heart indeed ;-)<br />best,<br />JonJon Burgesshttps://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JBDRusticOrganicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092482901439814613.post-69685085813101224342015-07-11T10:05:33.901-07:002015-07-11T10:05:33.901-07:00Well, I think you're on the road to exposure a...Well, I think you're on the road to exposure and, most likely, some great sales, too. Sometimes it's good to take a break and do those things that you would like to do but too often don't allow yourself to do. I don't know if it was Cynthia Tinapple who, in one of her posts, recommended an online self-help course (free...with three sessions) called Oasis. I felt it was ridiculous when I was into the first ten minutes and was going to turn it off....but, some little thing inside me said...'let it be and listen to the end'. I did. Briefly, I identified several things in my life that have poisoned me into lethargy, depression of some sort, etc. It can help everyone put a fire under their arse. Just a little tip.<br /><br />But, your work is terrific. Start selling your work online...if no one sees it, no one buys it. It's wonderful and I would purchase it!!!! So, there ya go. Keep your head high, eyes to the sky and, remember, there's no limit to what one can do! Hope this all puts a smile on your heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
