Traveling, Creating, and Website Trials
I’ve been in the middle of a whirlwind of activities lately. I’m still creating my Assemblage Art as part of each day – it is such a joy. It’s been selling well too which means inventory levels, at times, are a little challenging to maintain when other activities take priority.
And lately, travel has been a priority. I love road trips and I recently took one to visit my sister, Janey, in Tennessee. I’ll be writing more about that later. But despite my four days of driving backroads instead of major highways (I highly recommend), I still had plenty of time to create as I carried with me a ton of art supplies. Story to be continued…
And in the middle of all that, I still have a misbehaving website. I’ve been discouraged from posting much new material here at Art Creations by Vicky as things have just been plain wonky since early October! The artist in me wants to exclaim, “That’s not my title font! And everything else is TOO big!” And so on… and so on…
I finally took the time to get to the bottom of those technical problems with the help of my sister Mary and long talks with HostGator and WordPress. Long story short – the week after Thanksgiving, the site will be placed in Maintenance Mode for a few days to allow me time to rid myself of the site’s current framework (referred to as a theme) and replace with one that functions smoothly (without bugs) and offers me, as the owner, many tools to give the site a better look. I’ll actually be rebuilding the site in many ways – a challenge for this technophobe!
During this technical trial, I have been keeping my Etsy shop current. Some art pieces have sold before I had the opportunity to share on my site or Facebook. I’ll be adding several new Assemblage canvases over the next few days to Etsy and will inform you on Facebook and even here on the site (if the posting goes easily). I’m finishing up another one or two Assemblage Canvases as well plus I’ve started a very special custom. See, the creating remains! Just the delivery of that information has been disturbed!
And now for a tiny preview of a double canvas work in process. Far from finished, it’s a peek at the right canvas. The left canvas is still on the work table and then I’ll add the finishing touches to both. I hope to have this in my Etsy shop by Thanksgiving.
Hope you are enjoying November. It’s my favorite time of the year!
