4 Chapters and 2 Promos…

Mar 31, 2011

Are in the can!!! Today, we worked it and got 13 tech­niques shot with 30 min. left in the day. So Jenni and I started orga­niz­ing for the two tech­nique videos I”ll be shoot­ing tomor­row. I will be so glad when tomor­row is over. I’ve wor­ried about shoot­ing these videos all week long. But Jenni says it will all be okay and I have noth­ing to worry about. It’s so strange as I can talk to any­one, have taught at CHA, have instructed 1,000’s of make-n-takes, taught classes with­out any fear but pull that cam­era out and I freeze up. If I lose my fear of the cam­era tomor­row Amy Coon wont know how to act. Every time she comes to the Maya Road booth at CHA I want to just take off run­ning in the oppo­site direc­tion. Poor girl she deals with me quite well though.

Love see­ing this table empty. Mon­day, it was com­pletely cov­ered with bags of supplies.

All the prod­ucts and sup­plies I used to recre­ate all the tech­niques that will be fea­tured in my book in the box ready to be shipped back to me. Oh and I have a great idea for Book #3. Jenni and I were talk­ing and bam it all started com­ing together. I am so excited about it so will be think­ing and think­ing of a neat unique way to present the projects. Then work on a pro­posal. But first I’m going to let my brain chill for a bit. But I really would like to have another book debut in 2014. I think that would be awe­some. So we will see. I want a series of tech­nique based books by me sit­ting on my shelf. It’s so reward­ing to see some­thing you put so much into next to other authors and artists you respect in the industry.

If you want to make some­thing really cute check out the new Maya Road Retailer Kit. It was designed by Maya Road Design Team Mem­ber Lia Abdul­lah. She shows you some inno­v­a­tive ways to dec­o­rate one of the Maya Road Trin­ket Shadow Boxes.  It can be pur­chased at your favorite local scrap­book store, online store or the Maya Road web­site.
