score!!! this is why i love not working.

[stilleto]

I just got commissioned to make 6 pieces of artwork for a company that pays me $600 a piece for them (its insane. They aren't worth that, but who am i to complain). They cost me about $10 each in supplies (wood, paint, glass, varnish) and about 3 days, although while one is drying, I can start on another- so i can have all 6 in various stages of completion.

I wish the work was steady, which it isn't, and why I can't decide if I should go back to work or not.

but for now... i'm HAPPY!

here's two pics of some work i've done (i swear they are not crooked- they just look wobbly in the pic. they are perfectly squared at the corners), but this isn't the exact kind of artwork i sold- i don't have any other pics on this computer of stuff i've done though.

 

[stilleto]

Kudos to you!!! I would like to see your work as well.

ah, i forgot you're an artist. I'll take some pics of the kind of work that sold and pm them- i don't like posting that.

and thanks to everyone else.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

I like the water in the woods one... very nice!

 

[jestro]

Very cool! Stained glass is sweet, I could never do it though, it's way to precise for me.
These are pics of the museum of glass for anyone interested.

I really admire people who are creative.

Beautiful stuff. Matter of fact my man and I went for a walk around Grapevine the other day. (Little old city with some shops.) And went into a shop that had all sorts of glass and wire, sculpting etc work... I would LOVE to learn how to do that stuff!

i don't know what kind of art you do- i also paint but its not my forte. you could start working in stained glass with minimal investment- you just need a place to work that is ONLY for that though- I won't cut glass on my dining room table for example- so i need a studio. It can be as little as a closet you put a desk in, or a corner of the room that you sweep up every night.
There are very small kilns you could start with if you wanted to work small, or make jewelry, OR, get a torch and work that way, making only small beads and things for jewelry making or embelishments to other art.
I have made a lot- i just don't have pics handy. lamps, windows, cabinets, large window hangings, etc.

[Cutiebaby]

You are a painter?

 

[stilleto]

You are a painter?

i paint a little- the pictures I posted are done in glass though.

 

[gonelifting]

I paint my daughters nails. Does that count?


She's 4 btw, so don't hate.




and Congrats Stilleto, I told you that you could do it, even though you were down and out and crying on my shoulder. I said "You can do it.", slapped you, grabbed you by your shoulders and shook you, and said "Get a hold of yourself woman!. Now get out there and paint, PAINT like you mean it!", and the rest is history. Aren't you glad you listened to me?

um.. yes, i am.
i'm so glad. its funny too, that I listened to you MINUS the painting thing, since I don't really paint that much, but it was your kick in the ass that got me started.
and now its your turn. turn around and bend over my friend, cause I got my ass kickin' boots on and your number has just been called!
ps- i'd vote you back in as a mod. If'n there was a vote, which there ain't.
