Silver Bee is on a long and winding road!

I’m not the most prolific blogger but lately I’ve been unusually quiet. I creating a website for Silver Bee and I kept thinking completion was just around the corner. I didn’t anticipate just how many curves there are in this learning process. I was getting discouraged. Then I remembered something I may have said a time or two when teaching, “This is the first time you’ve made this and it’s wonderful!” It was time to listen to my own advice.  I wanted to build my own so I could understand and appreciate what goes into the process.  It’s the same sort of curiousity I had when I was learning how to solder. I wanted to understand how it happened not just that it happened.

The colours and logo are primarily the same but there are going to be pages...lots of pages...all with tabs to tell you exactly what they are all about. You’ll be able to find information on classes, tips, tools, books and whatever else I can think of. There will be a tab dedicated to students, “It’s all about you”.  This is where you will find galleries with your work in it! 

If you’ve seen my workspace you know I love this sort of organization. Don’t get me wrong, a mess definitely happens when I’m in a creative mode but I have to stop eventually and tidy things up. Then I can make a mess again. But I'm getting sidetracked.

Back to being excited about the new site but add a dash of impatience! Here’s my promise to you and to myself: it’s going to be up and running by the end of August regardless of how many lumps and bumps there are to fix. Similar to when I’m teaching, I tell students there is a point that can be reached when it is “good enough”. Perfection comes with lots of practice. So I’m going to take my own advice. 

The moral of this story is to listen to your teacher!

P.S. This photo was taken some time ago but nothing has really changed except there's more of it.
