 There is a fine line  when it comes to sharing information. I have run into a few road blocks when it comes to " lettin' it all hang out."  My question is, that if some artists are using the blog…Continue

Hello everyone in this blogging group.

I was wondering if your blog would benefit by sharing some resources with the artists that follow your blog.

I can give you links to the Professional Guidelines, information about our new brochures for your readers, information about the upcoming Professional Development Seminar about Niche Marketing and Photography in Flux, and more...

Please let me know what would be most helpful.

Harriete

Here is a link to my blog http://nicola-reed.blogspot.com/

 

I like to document my own work as well as keeping up to date with contemporary jewellery.

 

I will soon be using a blog to document my new collaborative collection with textile designer Sara Nevay, which will act as markers of reflection in the making process.

Please follow me :)

Thank you Melissa for following my blog. I appreciate a lot your comment, for me comunication is the most important and I like to share information with people around the world. I visit also your blog and I think that we can understand much more your work, personal blog approaches the artist to us.

"group dedicated to the experimental use of the blog format as a means of communication and critique"

I think that statement has encapsulated the best blogs that I follow; (and of course Montserrat's is one of them) communication and critique. There's a lot out there that offer communication, but reasoned and reasonable critique is a harder thing to find. I think this forum is a great idea, and I'm glad of the mission statement - something to strive for.

I am brand new to the blogging world.  I have never felt that my writing was something that someone else would be interested in.  I am also a bit perplexed as to what I would write about.  I teach jewelry classes and techniques and when I make a statement like this my students are always surprised.  I just don't see myself as a wealth of information.  I am hoping that my blogging will help me to share information to others without boring them to tears!!!!

Hi you!

 

My blog is; www.paula-lindblom.blogspot.com

 

This is my third blog that I run, first I started a collaboration with jewellery artist from all over the world, communicated via a common blog; http://www.jewelleryproject.blogspot.com/

This blog is not longer active, but you can still visit it.

 

The second one is also still in the cyber space but something happens with it, so I started my last blog and still runs it with some smaller problems now and then…

 

I love the blog idea, to run it your own way, to show what you are doing without being depending of galleries or others critics, choose and so on, you can pick your own view of what you want to show/post.

 

In these 5 years that I have had a blog, a lot of things as happen in the blog field; people are more wear of how to add photos from camera to the computer, from the computer into different computer program and also to the blog… When I started it was a lot of “children's disease” with it, I think it’s absolutely easier for everyone these days to start and run a blog.

 

I run my blog in English, just so I can reach out over the boarder of Sweden, but I’m  not so good at English, I try my best and I hope that the visitors first see the photos and then my Swedish/English text and understand what I am trying to tell. My idea is IF you have the will, people will understand you good attentions with it and I believe that I have some visitors, or I know I have…

 

I love this way of interact with people, I have got a lot of new friends and colleges all around the world this way and it’s for me an easy and quick way of communicate.

 

My attention with my www.paula-lindblomblogspo.com is to show what’s happen in between jewellery making or exhibitions or workshops… It’s not so common I think that we talk about how to get the life together with money, time and so on… I want to show that some periods are less active then others and that a coffee break can give you new energy and new inspiration or new angles to look at things.

Here in Gothenburg and in Sweden the media has skimp the culture a lot the last years, so I use my blog to show other artist work as well, as often I visit an exhibition or an opening or know someone that are doing something new, or interesting I try to blog it, just to show that we have a creative world around us, with a lot of great artist who struggle to be visible.

IF you want to have some photos about your work or coming up exhibitions and so on, please send me photo sand text and I will add it, my believe is to help eachother to reach out to as many as possible. My mail- address is; pryplaula@hotmail.com , be kind and have some subject for the e-mail, so I understand what it is… I got a lot of spam and it’s not easy to know what is good once or bad once.

It also put me in a context when I show others work, it’s in the end a great win-win situation.

 

I wish you all, old and new bloggers a great future with your blog and I hope and I know that it will be better and better as more we use and learn about this media.

 

With love and thoughts, Paula, jewellery artist from Gothenburg, Sweden.
