Daily Musings
NotJustPartz is a fun emporium of funky parts for jewelry making, altered art and just collecting. OK I know Myra Nicholas the owner and we help each get motivated to create, market and keep going when we get artist block or just plain lazy. She is a chipmunk sized powerhouse of ideas, her mind is never not working. We get on the phone and out flow zany ideas that will be completed projects next week. Myra is one of my muses. She can make anything out of anything. A CD purse, a CD clock, a repurposed piece of jewelry, polymer tiles, miniatures of her father’s paintings embossed into polymer to make polymer paintings. You name it she has done it. Myra writes a column for Altered Arts. One was on glues and I learned so much that I never knew could be done with glue. Another article was on metal sheeting and what you can make with that. Myra also started www.Yourcraftbusiness .com , a place where a budding craftsperson and artist can go to get information on how to start a business, where to go for business supplies, how to keep your sanity when starting a new venture. If you are looking for information on starting or running a craft business this is the place for you. Also there are great links to other sites that will be useful in your adventure.
