Понимаете, если человек обладает высоким IQ, то он проспамит все что угодно так, что автор блога особо и не подумает, что это спам.

Oh man, do I know what you mean there. I've been slowly getting better
over the past six months or so, or I wouldn't be able to do the blog
thing at all. For me, what's helped has been watching my diet much
more carefully, eating organically, and taking lots of supplements.
I'm sure you're doing the same.

Yeah, I did have an assistant for a little while and it really helped but then she moved away and I haven't replaced her because I haven't got the money. It's a bit of a vicious circle to be honest – to improve my health I need more help but I can't get help until I start to make some money but to make some money I need to be less ill.

I do sort of have an inventory. Sort of. But none of it seemed quite right and I don't like framing, so I didn't get round to doing that part. I am a bad business-person.

With the wax, I drew on the paper with ink first and then used uncoloured encaustic wax with an encaustic iron to soak the paper.

This is exactly it, Kruse – I had limited time and limited energy and lots of other things had been going on so I wasn't as focused on the show as I normally would have been. And the show was still fairly well attended – the good thing about being in a show with 51 other people is that some of them publicised it.

Hi Trece, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which often manifests new and interesting ways just to keep me on my toes. At the moment I've got dizziness + tiredness + weird muscle glitches.

I like the littleness of my work too, the pieces can be quite big though because although I work on small scale, I often do massive amounts.

I LOVE Anno's Journey!! And your work is beautiful. I love the little-ness of it.
I found you thru your comment on LaVonne's blog. What is your particular chronic illness? I just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

I'd love to have seen this. The waxed paper must have been lovely. I like the torn edges too.
I get your frustration about not being able to do mail outs and stuff. Sometimes it is that we only have enough energy for the making and not enough left over for the promoting. But I think that is okay. This is art, not business. It is enough that your work is in the world, don't beat yourself up by thinking that it has to be successful everytime. Anyway, us on this 'ere blog got to see and appreciate it!
