Heather I love your work and would like to take an in person workshop perio. Do you plan to do any workshops in the New York City metropolitan area or some other interesting locations?
Thank you Pat.! Perhaps one day if I am invited further afield I will accept. I do dream of organizing an artist workshop retreat weekend :-)as a possibility one day . Typically I offer in person workshops close to home in Ontario,Canada
So awesome you overcame fear and moved on to new territory. You'll have to let me know how the change in stores goes, so far, still working with ETSY. I was terrified of garbage trucks when I was little, the crushing noise got to me lol, I would hide under my blankets, or run to my Grandmother's bed where I felt it was safe. I think it was my older cousin who told me that the garbage truck ate little children...lol (he was 8).
I too was very shy and as you described public speaking in class, I remembered my terrible nerves before my turn came. However your line 'It helped that my subject matter was dear to my heart' is what always got me through public speaking as a child and as an adult. And it was always my advice to my art students preparing for an art school or art position interview. An enjoyment of aging has been finding my voice and finding pleasure in using it. :D

My fear was daddy long-legs and moths… have you ever read H G Wells’ short story - The Moth? Scary!
I used to do quite a bit of presenting in front of people and would have nightmares the night before.
I wish you well Heather and look forward to more of your art and stacks. X

That is so interesting that garbage trucks was your childhood fear! It didn't help that your cousin fueled the fear!
I will touch upon Etsy change etc in my next jetpack post !

Yes ..It does seem that it is one of the most wonderful aspects of time and age and wisdom- finding one's voice!
Love your work and so thankful for your support and inspiration. Victoria
