Day; 249. Sunny in the suburbs with clouds covering the Sangre de Christos and Santa Fe. Apparently a storm is acomin'!
Temperature on outside kiln; 48 degrees
kiln firings; none
Music in the studio; none
A bit of a lazy Sunday, no studio time, but I did spend the day putting the finishing touches on my written tutorial "Making and Firing Laser-toner Decals". This was in preparation for listing a digital copy of it on my on-line Etsy marketplace. After weeks of working on it, and buying new word processing software, the file is too big to upload onto their site! I would have to trim it by 4MB!? This I cannot/will not do as it covers the essentials and taking images or text out would destroy the usefulness of the product.
So... what now brown cow?! I have decided to try and list it on my own personal website instead and see if that works.. Darn it, I really wanted to be able to tell students/customers where to get a copy when I am completely tired of answering the same questions over and over! There has to be a way to get this out there, and I am determined to find it. The longer book-length version could be years in the making (if at all?) so I am anxious to find a solution to the problem of selling a digital download product. I guess I need to talk with a techie- type person, may need to get Jackie Gerstein on it ( as we say for anything tech related with the Contemporary Clay Fair; got a problem? Get Jackie on it!)
Off to send her an email right now.....
