Contributing Member Crystal Posted November 10, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted November 10, 2008 Yes, and as soon as I get a job again that "What Was I Thinking?" will be carved on the inside of the box lid with the scrolls in the corners. The bottom part of the box will be lined in a dark pig suede with the fuzzier side out. will post that when ever I can get that done.. That sounds like a good idea! Can't wait to see.

Bree Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Anne... You have an opportunity for a job upgrade! No matter what interview you go on... make sure to add... "I am a very creative, talented person." Then show a couple of pieces of your work. The rest will happen naturally. Someone with your gifts can't remain idle for long as long as others know that you exist. So be self promoting. Quote Ride Safe!

rcsaddles Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Bree is right. No one knows what you can do like you do and no one will promote what you do. I always had a problem with "blowing my own horn" in an interview until someone on an interview panel told me I would have had the job if I would have said more about the work I had done. She knew me from the current job and was on the interview board. Said she could not ask "leading" questions. Ended up I am in a better position because I did not get the job. Anyway, promote yourself. Pat yourself on the back in an interview. Have fun telling people what you have done. Dress up a little and relax for an interview. I've spent a lot of time on both sides of the table. With over 10 years in law enforcement, it seems like I was there at least once a year or more. Wish yo uthe best in the future and keep up the beautiful work. Joe Quote Joe Boyles Rugged Cross Saddlery Lewistown, Montana Romans 6:23

Members Spider Posted November 14, 2008 Members Report Posted November 14, 2008 Anne, Keep your chin up girlie. You are a great artist and we all know that. I'm sure you will find something. Even if in a different field. Quote From the insane mind of SPIDER... http://spiderflesh.com Myspace: Spiderflesh Facebook: Spiderflesh George
TomSwede Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 Hey Anne, this is some great work!! Love the two tone braiding and excellent carvings!! Keeping my thumbs for you, don't give in for depression. It's a parasite who rides you so try shake it off by any means (sounds easier than it's done, I know).
