bgrmosaic: What's Important...

What's Important...been thinking about this while fixing my place and website. 

Transit is important to me. Good transit means freedom, access to areas one may not get to see otherwise. I also love the way lines weave around each other, forming routes in transit maps...probably the best reasoning to the focus of lines in my work, draws the eyes around. The transit map on my main website page will be updated soon.

I like knowing how most things work, also being able to fix them, so took on building the bgrmosaic website myself. It has given me a Lot of appreciation for those who stare over HTML codes all day. Can make my way around HTML decent enough so far, will learn CSS in time.

Having a local number is important. Why?. Most people's reaction to a foreign number is not that great, (taken as some telemarketer and ignored). An added extra confusion I've encountered, giving out my NYC cell number, whose area code 917, around Portland, OR, whose cell area code is 971. Enough assumptions of, I gave out the wrong area code, prompted me to get a local number through GoogleVoice, (now on my website).

This Blog will remain a mix of things I'd like to share: transit, travel, mosaics and food. Highlight things that interest me, and hopefully you as well.

Nice, but functional too.

Sometimes, we just want an art piece that bring a smile to our faces, but I have this thing, when possible, to make pieces functional as well.

In getting back into doing my beadwork, I want pieces to be nice, but functional too. I wont lay out the ideas here, but when I get back into the street fairs, hoping these pieces will make you say, "Ooh!"

My little blurb for now, stay tuned :)

What next (in my art)

What do I want to do? 
    Make mosaics, stitching beadwork and creating buttons.
...What do I think will work?
    This a combination question for me, and where I am now. 

Back in NYC, I'd wrap up my wares, pack into a shopping cart and head to a street fair. Did pretty well, but exploring my options while settling into a new city.

For non-drivers, like myself, thought also goes into transporting crafts, (is it worth it). Having a pocket full of money and happy customers is better than repacking unsold wares to take back home, (especially if dealing with big pieces).

I've spent enough time "settling" into the city, time to get back out there.
