Brigitte...

Thanks so much for the welcome.  I have been contemplating joining Crafthaus for some time.  Today seemed like the day. I am realizing more and more the important role, connection with other craftspeople plays in our creative processes.  Without feedback, one can lose perspective. So, thanks again, and I look forward to a great year with Crafthaus.

Warmest regards,

Elizabeth Payne (Jewelry Arts Studio)

Thank you, Brigitte.

Hi Brigitte,

Happy New Year!

I just received a posting from crafthaus about the upcoming CAA Conference. You have it posted as being held in Chicago. It is actually being held in New York City! It was in Chicago last year.

See you at SNAG!

Best,

Billie

Thanks Brigitte,

I am honored and excited to be a part of Crafthaus!

Brigette,

 Finally figuring out how to "work it" ...making friends, seeing exciting and provocative new work, looking forward to whatever you have to offer!

Crafthaus rocks!

You have lots and lots of great new talent on here. Haven't been here for just 2 days and need to do some serious catching up now ...

Bonne nuit :-)))

Thank you for the post about Kiva!  I've been spending alot of time browsing the site to get familiar and I'm very excited to be here!  Alot of talent!!! Thank you for welcoming me :)  What's the correct protocol for reaching out to others on the site?  Hope this is not a dumb question....Regards, Marcia C.

Hi Brigitte,

Glad to hear from you.  I really enjoyed my residency in N Carolina. Also its great  to be part of this group,  Thank you for having me. I'm still trying to find my way through it and how it works.  What are you up to now? I'm not very good at these network sites yet, and don't quite understand how they work and who sees what.

hi Brigitte

I decided to join Crafthaus after hearing your interview on Blog Radio. Really interesting and I appreciate all your hard work in connecting artists. I've looked at the site before and enjoyed it but hearing how it came to be made me stop procrastinating.  Thanks so much!

Brigitte, thank you for telling me about the Piece Progressions call. It looks very interesting and I will probably submit a few photos there.

I've also noticed that you're curating a "Black and White" online exhibition. I might send you a photo of a b&w  ring that I have, if this call is still on.

Hello Brigitte,

Thank you for the warm welcome.  I am very excited to be a part of Crafthaus.  I hope to bring something good to the group.

Great information.  Harriete's page on tagging really helped.

Thanks again,

Lona

Glad to have you as a friend Brigitte.

Thank you for the welcome Brigitte.  Looking forward to getting to know the crafthaus community.

All my best, Kelli

Hi Brigitte,

I am really excited to see the development of crafthaus since its beginning and seeing it further evolve. It is a great network with tons of interesting info to read.

Congratulations on all your achievements! Thank you.

PS: thank you for the Bday message : ).

Quite elegant, Brigitte.

This is a wonderful meeting place. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting and especially for your sense of Humor in Craft.~Alice

P.S. Have added your Twain quote to my Narcissism file.

hi brigitte,

i just typed in a comment to maureen zappelini....post about silver prices and after i hit add comment, it said it has to be approved before it can be posted.  i'm wondering if i did something wrong or didn't follow proper procedure.  thanks so much.  anne

Hi Brigitte,

I know the Justified sinner but I am not aware of the others but will drop a message to them.

I am so busy trying to tie up my BA at the moment so there will be little activity at the moment .

I have already found it a fascinating browse and plan to investigate further and also put my deggree show work on my page.

hi brigitte,

i hope i won't sound like i'm bragging--i'm just floating on a cloud right now!  i just got back from a show and i had a letter from schiffer saying my submission has been accepted for art jewelry today 3!!  my first major book acceptance and it's making another rainy day seem like sunshine.  can't wait to see you thursday.  right now, based on all the things i want to do there, i think i have a total of 15 mins scattered around a day to eat.  don't know how i'm going to do it.  i'll have to go to whole foods and buy some stuff to nibble on as i go everywhere!  anne  

I did! Thank You. I knew that the Sea-Tac TSA has the x-ray scanners, so I stamped my entire body head to toe.  This resulted in being pulled out of line and searched - twice- Great fun. It was totally worth it.

The Sea-Tacky 2Roses art performance was made possible through the support of Brigitte Martin and Jillian Moore.

Perhaps this is the year I will participate! I hate to be known as the one who never does... Hope you are well recovered from the fun at SNAG. I'm still working on it. Recovering that is. Maybe that is my problem, I am "working" on it!

Thanks Brigitte!

I haven't even finished the pieces for the show yet, so haven't investigated shipping.  My only advice is NEVER state that parcels contain jewellery, even when filling out the postal forms for insurance. Small sculptures, art objects etc. are less likely to go astray in the post than items labelled 'jewellery.' Plus I think that jewellery isn't covered by regular postal insurance, so automatically attracts a huge premium.  Not familiar with Japanese postal system, but have been warned on more than one occasion that shipping to Italy is a game of Russian Roulette!

Sorry not to have been more helpful.

Thanks Brigitte! Good to be here!
