| |   | | | Greetings!
Change is good and I am in the middle of big changes. After a few years working at my own business, I am changing direction. I have begun a school counseling program at Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling. It's an excellent program with a focus on social justice and I am so excited to be re-engaging in the intellectual community!
Even though I adore making metal pieces, doing it for a living has grown to be very lonely and hard on my body. I'd much rather be creating for joy, than profit. I have lots of ideas I never had time to pursue, because the bulk of my income depended on production lines that are drudgery to make. I can't wait to get back to art as a serious hobby, not as a means to pay the bills. Somewhere along the line, I feel I lost myself as an artist, which has contributed to my change in career path.
Right now, my business is in transition. I've stopped my production lines on etsy.com and for now, am making only a handful more custom pieces here at Honey & Milk this month. Beginning in September, I will only be making one-of-a-kind pieces at please me as an artist. If I want to, I may offer them for sale. But I anticipate that eventually, this site will be more of a showcase than a shop.
For now, Honey & Milk's webshop will remain open and stay tuned for some clearance sales coming up. After the winter holidays, the esty.com shop will close.
I hope you'll keep following my story and I am deeply grateful for your support!
