Vision for Jennerosity

HI! Welcome to Jennerosity, my home for creative thinking and sharing. A place to share my ideas for my artsy online store, http://jennerosity.etsy.com. That's where I've started putting out some of my handmade creations, like the domino necklaces and pendants i love making, and a couple of the soaps I've made. Soapmaking was actually my first craft, what I really dove into, and then I meandered into rubberstamping, and especially, stamping on dominos. This week I've started playing with clay, polymer clay, and hope to soon have some clay pendants up for sale in my shop. Having some trouble with them, though, think I made them too thin, as I was able to crack them right in half after baking them, not good. Will try again.

ok, so that's the stuff I make, but what I really want this whole concept of "jennerosity" to be, is more than just a business of my making stuff and selling it. I want to get beyond that, and to not only make stuff that imparts some kind of meaning and inspiration to the buyers, by creating pieces that either include inspiring words on them, or are just inspring in other ways, but to also be a springboard of positive messages and actions to whomever I may reach. I know that sounds foggy, and I still am foggy about what my "vision statement" may eventually be, so I'll stop rambling and just stick my hands back in the clay for now. I have yet to make my second sale on etsy, since I haven't been listing new items or promoting or even had time to make stuff or do much of anything these days during my crazy life as a stay-at-home mom! But I love what I do, and need to remind myself, even in writing these posts, what really matters in life, to live "jennerously" in the areas of loving our families, living mindfully, peacefully, savoring every moment, living with open hands, giving freely, not letting the little things get my underwear all in a bundle, and so forth. Do what I say, not what I do, as I am still trying to learn these lessons!!!

later alligator,
