LOVE my job!



February is all about the LOVE right? 

 
So this post is dedicated to 

the top 5 reasons

the Sailor Studio gals LOVE 

their job:



5. Working with family (although sometimes stressful) sure beats working with people like this...



 


Not to say we aren't without our characters... but at least when my mom comes in looking like someone off that 70s show, I can make fun of her and not feel too bad about it... 







4. Enamel on Copper is a great art form for spastic people like us...  if we make earrings that don't turn out like we want....  we can take 'em back and change them into something totally different: 


 BEFORE                            AFTER




3. We can  bring our kids to work.... 


which sometimes leads to stuff like this happening in the common area....





But at least we save money on childcare ;)



2. If we get bored we can get up and spend an hour or so stretching and acting ridiculous... and capture it all in a goofyphotomontage:




 



.... and the number 1 reason we love our job:


the amazing support we have gotten from all our family and friends! We've just reached 300 fans on our Facebook page, and we got our first Etsy sale this week (pretty good for only having 9 items up so far :) 


Thanks y'all!! 

You guys rock! =)

Friday Fun: Video Post

We've had a great week so far at Sailor Studio!

Yesterday, Congressman Hank Johnson came by to check out the new art studios and see how the "art incubator" program was going... his whole entourage came with him (serious entourage)... 







 Photo op with the artists



                Two of his interns bought earrings from us, so Sailor Studio will be stylin up Washington, D.C.  =) 


New things we've been working on:

Enamel and fused glass soap dishes (with all natural handmade soap made by a few local ladies)



 More Expression Bracelets- two of which are heading to Ellijay this week :)




Mom made this Dove window for some newlyweds :)


And last but not least... a video, for those who would like a behind the scenes look at the Sailor Girls Shenanigans (I know you are just dying to watch)  

I apologize in advance for my editing skills... or lack thereof ... you might want to turn down the sound ;)
