So here, I’ve been thinking. I really love my art, I love wood, I love the feel of wood, and I love the fact that I am able to see something in my head and create the visions that I see.

This whole technology revolution of new media, new gadgets, and new web applications is pretty cool too. However, I have much more experience with the latter. Unfortunatly, I am not yet able to mold and create the things that I see in my head to the web page yet. I am learning to add in plugins that may or may not be usefull and I spend more time fixing things after I break them than I do being creative.

I look back at when I started turning wood and I honestly cant remember a long learning curve. I remember stepping into it with my whole heart and passion as it were a time capsule that could take me anywhere. The natural flow that I felt at the lathe and in working with my hands almost seemed as if I was working with the hands of my grandfather, and that I almost assumed his wisdom and craftability.

Grandpa, where were those hands when it came to the keyboard and mouse?? I suppose if he’d known the internet he might have thought it was cool as I do, but I suppose he’d have the same sorts of challenges that I do in really having no clue how to manifest the creations we see in our heads.

This being said, I am organizing and really making it my winter project to perfect my web imiges, fix all the broken links on my blog, and open up a storefront on www.etsy.com. I want to make that journey of the learned, to a technician, to an artist and really be able to express myself in the digital world as well as I express myself in the virtual world.

Admittedly, I do not treat this blog as a newspaper article or press release so I do very little editing. I would love any suggestions on my endeavors to become more art than fart in the web world, and what you think about my writing that I like to think more lovingly as speaking with the keyboard.
