Hello, my little corner of the world. This is where I'll be sharing fragments about the land of new-media adventure, where I've been living for the last few months. In January my 9 years as an editor (and sometime-writer) of craft books came to an inglorious end. I had spent the aughts nurturing and fanning and praying over manuscripts that filled a mad cornucopia of how-to subjects: knitting, jewelry, paper and needle crafts, and ceramics. (I still chat with a few of those amazing ceramists. Hi, Andrew! Hi, Angelica!) In the 90s I taught commercial photography and before that I studied the medium as a fine art. I'm so happy to get the chance to include some of my photos alongside these posts. Ever since little-girlhood I've been a voracious reader. My FB page profile says it plain and simple: I'm "inveterately curious." So here is where I'll share what's on my mind and my plate. For the last several months I've been working with two amazing women to start a digital publishing venture. We three are writers and tech geeks and creative persons looking to squeeze the most juice out of being freelance everythingers. Being something of a style nanny, I’m having quiet little internal fits around establishing (perfect) consistency in all print references to our "baby’s" name. We're talking just a matter of capitalization here! I may be driving my partners nuts over it. Sometimes I can get a picture in my head of how great something can be, and it can be hard to live up to such internal pressure. It's a good thing there are three of us; thankfully, the success of this boat-float doesn't depend on me alone!
