I received a nice email from a woman this morning telling me that one of my fiber pieces was chosen as art of the day on EBSQ. What a great honor! Can you tell, I don’t have too much to report right now? I’m still working on my new soft painting that I started last week. I also have so many new ideas floating around in my head. They’re all related to ceramics and fiber and how to make them work together.

I just finished a new fabric ACEO for Jafabrit, that I’m going to put in the mail tomorrow. You may remember, that last week, on my 200th post anniversary I promised a new ACEO to the first person to comment. Jafabrit was it and I tailored this one especially for her…or at least what I know of her through her blog. I was undecided on whether to post it or not, or allow it to be a surprise for her. Let me know what you think?

Meanwhile, I just started taking an online art marketing class taught by Art Biz Coach, Alyson Stanfield last week. This is a month long class that covers a lot of information about the business of art marketing. She just announced that one of her teleseminars which is taking place this Wednesday is going to be free, but is limited to the first 250 people who sign up. The teleseminar is titled What the Artist Needs to Know About the Artist-Gallery Relationship and will include a special guest, Paul Dorrell, author of Living the Artist’s Life. The class is a must for everyone who wants to know about getting into galleries, rejection & perseverance, choosing the right gallery, your relationship with dealers and much more! Plan to spend about 60 minutes Wed. evening, hours are posted on the class link.

    I vote - save it and post it after she receives it … surprises like this are so fun to receive, that I shouldn’t see it before she does.

    Congratulations on being chosen as the art of the day on EBSQ… it’s a beautiful piece.

  2. WOW! I love it Cynthia!!!! Congradulations on one of your pieces being chosen. That’s great! :)

  3. Good news is great news! I’m glad to hear you are moving up in the art world. Who deserves it more?! Why no one.

  4. Congratulations!

  5. Congrat’s! I am in for the call…I’ll have to go sign up asap. It’s always good to bone up on things like this, even if you feel like you’ve been around that block more than a few times (like me sometimes). There is always a good chance to learn something useful and new, so thanks for telling us about this event. :)
    I vote for holding out on the suprise too…it’ll be more fun that way.

  6. what do you mean you don’t have much to report? cyn, art of the day on ebsq!!!! COOL.
    Oh, I can’t wait to see my aceo, I am so intrigued.

    If I wasn’t in my “I am sick of pushing my art and need a break mode” I would be interested in signing up for the art marketing class. Sounds really good. Look forward to seeing how it works for you.

    I do know of an artist here in ohio that incorporates fiber with ceramic.

    I am sure you will come up with something very cool in this regard.

  7. Thanks Nancy, after I read your response, I thought of course I should wait.
    Thank you Angela, Mary and Joanna…
    I’m glad you got in, Heather. It’s all good information and isn’t too big of a time committment.
    Thanks for the link, Jafabrit. It’s really cool to see the two mediums combined!

  8. Yes, post the one you did for Jaf.

    Congratulations on the EBSQ art of the day.

  9. Wow!! Congratulations on being chosen art of the day on EBSQ!

    That is so cool! Congrats on the art of the day!

    I’m jealous of Jafabrit! :)

    I sent you some questions for my blog feature through etsy, I sent it to your yahoo email first, but it came back undeliverable? Anyway, sorry I’m so late getting you the questions. I’m running behind with everything these days!

    Congrats on your art-of-the-day selection! I’m a fellow artist and I thought you might be interested in my blog too. My passion is painting – specifically, my trademark is depicting scenes of life in the Caribbean, using alkyd enamel paints. My wife and I are sailing from our home in Gig Harbor, Washington, to the Caribbean in our hand-built sailboat and I spend my days painting on the open water. I’m looking forward to getting some new inspiration for my work once we get to the Eastern Caribbean. We’re keeping our friends and family updated on our voyage and adventures along the way on our Web site and blog. Check it out at http://www.brucesmithsvoyage.com.

    Hi, Cynthia, and congrats on all your good news! Taking an art marketing class is on my endless “To Do” list. I’m curious to hear how helpful it is for you.

    I can’t wait to see the “After” film of your garage conversion. If I had a garage, I would have claimed it long ago. There’s always the bonus of uncovering some great treasure in there that you’ve forgotten about!

  13. I got it! I got it! I LOVE it! I LOVE it! and you know it isn’t just the word that made me burst out laughing, it was the image. There is a story about that which I will share on MY blog. I won’t share it until you have posted a pic of what you sent me though :) But I do think it funny you chose that image. Can you share with me why?

    thanks so much,and your kind words. You really really MADE my day. I have been so down lately and I am just beginning to crawl out of being in a major down mood.

  14. Congratulations on being chosen for art of the day on ESBQ, that’s awesome Cyn and lucky J.B. to win one of your treasures!
