Raw Truth: Sponsorship and Reality, or why I want to go to Camp Pluckyfluff

Apr 30 2012 It’s a fact – artists often require sponsors, or as they used to be called, patrons. It’s not easy to ask for help – at least for me, it isn’t.

Apr 04 2012 So I did this thing… I’ve been making bead spindles for a while now. Bead spindles are a wonderfully stripped-down, primitive style sort of spinning device that at the most basic, consists of a stick and a weight.
