first blog entry, first thoughts

Talking to the computer screen, portal to the world, rather than to myself, one face in the mirror.

"Artefact" was taken, so I came up with "Artefaccio" -- "I make art". I never could speak Italian properly.

I was making jewellery at a fair on the weekend, selling pieces when they were only half-completed. I have an art show coming up in six weeks, and I have to finish -- hah, start -- a lot of new paintings/drawings/whatever.

Here goes.
