The studio is always closed on Mondays, but today I am here making some lovelies for the holiday season. Shifting from large commission style lovelies to small easy-sell lovelies can be a challenge. The former is where the real art form is (at least mine anyway), while the latter is less about expression and more about good execution. Not nearly as creatively fulfilling, but still necessary. It is the delicate dance of making a living as an artist.
