Common is defined by www.dictionary.com as "belonging equally to, or shared alike by, two or more or all in question: common property; common interests." I have recently met an amazing Etsian. Of course, our "meeting" was only online, through Etsy convos, but I am truly inspired. It is a great feeling, indescribable really, to meed someone who has achieve success doing what you, one day, hope to do yourself. I should say that in first person. Kate has achieved success doing what I hope one day to do myself. Live our art!
She, in her shop's announcement says, "Welcome to the Radical Thread Co where art is our full time income and way of life. Where family and career meet, where the kids are underfoot and learning is unstructured and free!" I was immediately intrigued! Kate is where I so want to be!
Michael and I, living together, working together, creating together, loving together, inspiring together, teaching together, making our art our way of life. Raising the boys in a respectful, loving, creative environment. I wish it could happen overnight. I know it is a choice, but it is also a process. As someone (another Etsian) said, be patient little one... And although she was speaking in reference to something totally unrelated... Her words still echo in my head. Thanks Anhoki. :)

Very nice. This post made my day.
Hi Ripparts,
My husband and I at the WashHouse Studio (thewashhousestudio at etsy) are also both working artists. Terry is the real artist. He has a BFA from Ringling in Illustration, did the juried fine arts circuit for a couple of years with the work on http://www.bluedoorstudio.com and is now showing some of his paintings and wonderful, detailed folk art on etsy.
I am a teacher, currently on medical leave, taking classes to teach online. My days are busy with my classes and all the new technology I am trying to learn, but I keep my art supplies (junk and stuff) out and an determined to make something new tonight. I have had classes in ceramics, printmaking, drawing, and painting...and was always encouraged to continue whatever it was I was doing at the time, but my Love is in the act of creating, so I am a folk artist with nothing on etsy as yet.
It is so nice meeting you and your family. It sounds like things are really opening up for you. Warm wishes and good luck!
Belinda
Thank you both! I just love meeting other artists and Etsians! Talina
