I didn't take up jewelry as a hobby, (I don't have time or money to spare for hobbies, that would probably be my fanfiction)
I was looking for a way to take my art and put it into a context that would sell it. I figured out (at last) that when people 'consume' art, they look at it. They might be compelled to buy a print, or a poster, but usually they don't. If you put it on something wearable they are more apt to buy it.
Much in the way that artists create music these days, but make less on record sales then they do on merchandise and concert tickets.
Hey, I had a dream last night where you and I went to meet Gackt, and I kept asking you 'what is he saying?' and neither of us could figure it out, haha.
That sounds entirely likely - he'd probably be trying out his "Cantonese" or French or even English and we'd just have to nod and smile politely while understanding nothing.
Of course, I'd like to try some sparring with him - his taekwando against my kung fu. Heh heh
Disappearing to London for work overnight, btw. Probably no time for photos this time though.
