This weekend was pretty quiet as far as calls for the locksmith, so I managed to expend some energy on the challenge. It wasn’t a surge forward, but some progress was made.
On Saturday, I realized that all of my posts for minis are written with the assumption that the audience already knows what to do with my diminutive works. So I sat down and made a post addressing some of the usual questions.
I was able to get my tools together and made a test video (no I’m not going to post it). The results made me stop off at the community art gallery to try flying in a bright, clean space with beautiful stuff in the background. Unfortunately the space was monitored, so I was deflected before I could make my next video. Fortunately, I wound up talking to nearly everyone in the building, and they thought it was an interesting idea (but couldn’t give me the green light). I’ll be checking with the gallery director later in the week.
I spent too much time (and money) at the craft store on more tools for making the cards work better. Some adjustments that I’ve made to the way I make the kites made the latest one fit in the card better.
I also joined a national kite trade organization and the organization that runs the community gallery that I visited. That last may not actually help with using the gallery for my backdrop, but they may let me display and sell my cards in their gift shop.
I also started re-framing a Cody that I had sold to a family friend before I modified the technique I was using with them. As I was working on it, I was taking measurements (I too often use “That Looks About Right” as I’m building projects) to help with accounting and ordering parts.
Most of Sunday was eaten up working on the new vehicle, as I will need it for commute to and from work.
I’m toying with asking an editor that I’m familiar with to look at my writing, so that my poor audience has something better to read. I’ll probably break down and ask her, I was never really comfortable with my “voice”, and I have faith that she could help me hone it.
More little steps and nothing glamorous, but I’ll try to keep some momentum going.
