Ah... experiments that are going well... I'm liking it.
Prints of this image and more soon to be available on my Etsy site... www.etsy.com/pearliemae
See ya soon!
A crafting blog, mainly, definitely not for the faint of heart. Martha won't be calling me any time soon... that's for certain!

An Auspicious Start?
Gung Hay Fat Choy!
Like so many crafters online, I, too, aspire to doing what I love as a lucrative living... Long hours, be my own boss, quit the day job... I hear of it happening with more and more frequency. But for every successful artist/crafter out there, there must be hundreds, if not thousands, that barely eke out what my grandmother would call 'pin money'.
I don't pursue a single craft. I experiment and evolve, looking to find a niche where my passion for creating is satisfied, where the money I invest into supplies and time I invest in my creations find an audience. And hopefully, turn a profit!
What's the intent of my blog? Perhaps to keep a running tab on the things I make, and how they're made, perhaps to showcase the art and craft of others I find interesting. Will it be a blog full of personal opinion? Of course. A blog is not necessarily a democracy. This is mine and I can say whatever I like. And you have a right to disagree... and/or add to the conversation. Communication. That's how we all grow, right? I suppose, like so many things in my life, we'll see what happens!
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the things I present here, I hope you visit my Etsy shop at PearlieMae.Etsy.com and find something you love.
February 14th, 2010. Today is the Chinese New Year - Year of the Golden Tiger - it's also Valentine's day, and the day after my 31 month anniversary. I've just celebrated a milestone birthday, and have decided for myself that it's time for a little Me time.
Wanna come along for the ride? Let's rock!!!!
Cheers!
