I can hardly believe it's eight years! I've made several hundred shades, met even more interesting people, made several overseas sales and taken on two talented apprentices. In addition, I've had the opportunity to make lampshades for my favorite McMenamins restaurants, am offering "Shade Making 101" workshops yearly and am part of the Red Trillium Gallery in Troutdale, Oregon.
My blog reflections from 5-16-2016 still ring true:
"It's been just a year since I began pursuing a life-long dream of working/playing as a full time artist! In April 2015, I made (and sold!) my first lamp shade. The business has grown steadily and I'm exploring ways to get the word out, become part of an active community of textile artists, and encourage others to find their path to creative expression too."
