Firstly, I’ll apologize for the lack of usual fanfare that generally comes before a Superstars sale. I’ve grown disillusioned with sitting for long stretches of time, and it has hindered my well-timed updates and notices. Once upon a time, sitting in front of the computer for hours was no problem for me whatsoever. Neither was eating ridiculously large portions followed by 5 cupcakes. Luckily, I’m fairly tall and I carried the excess well enough, but when I began to get winded when washing my hair, I decided I’d had too many cupcakes. My hair is a monstrosity of thick, convoluted curls I’ve only exposed a precious few (unfortunate) people to. If you’ve seen it, you understand what a chore it surely must be – but it’s still not something that should leave me breathless.
Next, I’ll say that I’m not terribly pleased with the beads I’ve prepared for the sale. This is pretty standard for me, actually. I don’t share that opinion often because I’ve been told again and again that it’s poor form to say such things about my own work. It’s important for people to understand that an artist’s work is never finished. We may part with the finished product, sometimes reluctantly, but we keep making more because a concept can always be improved upon in one way or another: better execution here, better color there, better texture in that one area. The one who ends up with it doesn’t know this unless you tell them, and even then, it doesn’t matter unless it’s defective in some way, and even in that case it may not matter at all. They want it because they like it, it says something to their soul, it matches their favorite shirt… whatever. They can’t see what you’ve envisioned, they can only see the end result and that’s what their opinion should be based upon. So, no defects at the Superstars sale. Just experiments and maybe some colors that I haven’t worked with much so far.
Here’s a look at something you can expect to see tomorrow night:
