scams


http://bigglassbeads.blogspot.com/
Now and in the past scams have been going on, in Etsy and all over the net. Those bastards want to send you a surplus of money so you go to the banks cashing what seems like a real money order. You don't find out until days later, your the one that has to pay the banks back. They ask for your real name and address but the truth is, if its too good to be true, then it is. Those bastards try to find items for sale around the 500 dollar mark. Sellers beware.~! THIS IS WHAT ONE DOES LOOK LIKE

am
interested in the immediate purchase of your item and will be make
payment via cashier check/money order,payment will be send via
freequickwire.com to your email address you need to get blank paper
check down,my private shipping company will handle the shipping, but
before payment will be made i need to be sure of who i am dealing with
if you are going to be honest and sincere throughout the transaction. A
certified cashiers check iscash-able the same day,there is going to be
an excess fund on the check ,the excess fund is meant for the private
shipping company who will come to your place for pick up of the item,
so shipping is not a problem,will you be able to transfer the excess
fund to the shipping company the same day you receive the check?.check
would be sent to you so when you get payment you can easily cash it at
any cashing point near you or deposit in your bank.You'll be sending
excess fund to my shipper , which would be meant for shipping
arrangement.if you agree, signify your interest by forwarding to me
your Final Asking Price, Full Name & Contact Address and Tel # also
i will want
you to email to my husband private email address
carlwhite2 [!at] rocketmail.com make sure you reply back to my husband
email,So plz kindly email me to my email address I await your response
soonest.
Best and kind regards,

Boasting there is truth in Modesty


Bla Bla Bla, is what I felt I had said when I tried to let another artist know I had helped paint a set for a local play. Well, So had she!! As soon as I mentioned the play ~ Out of her lips poured "I did this and that" and "oh my gawd I painted a book and you should see my art its over here and here's my web page".It was exhausting listening to her, after she was done I looked over at the women sitting beside me and very quietly said " I helped with painting a set , it was a big job and I'm glad its done" and with that she responded " that's nice" Then said,"I blocked out every other word that women had said,all I could here was Bla Bla Bla and can you see me, look at me". I'm so glad I didn't sound like that because it happens that she was irritating to others as well. As she left the room it was as if a breath of fresh air came in. Your talent goes noticed even if you don't think it does. Stiffen up your lower lip and listen its an art form as well.

Ariel Lyons
http://www.ariellyons.ca/index.php?p=about
Ariel Lyons, exceptional artist who lives just down the road from me. She is closing her store and retiring planning to travel the world.I asked her if she would still paint and she assured me, she would. She provided this area with deserve artists. Herself an art teacher in the local high school and teacher of art classes at her store, has given us a great gift over the years. Its not easy to paint, it takes time, and much thought. Ariel taught with the hand of a master and will be terribly missed. This is to thank her and let her know she was truly in inspiration.

Whats my subject matter, and a reason I chose my title? I decided on the title "A canopy of Art". Iv never had a show before or had to make up a name. My art is so miss matched the only thing in common is the canvas and paint. I sent off my email-> subject matter are( things that are free for the moment ) sorry I'm so new to this .. I hope that's enough of a subject matter.. my art is all different things.. sincerely Karen
Then I had to give a reason for the title "A Canopy of Art", ((GULP)) sounded pretty that's why... so I looked up the word and went from there and this is what I came up with->("art has always played a huge roll in my life. Over the years, I've worked with watercolors, acrylics and recently oils and am looking forward to sharing my work with you. Im calling my show "canopy of art"because visual arts are my umbrella that fills with paints, its always raining.
I know Lame Lame Lame.
There should be books on this, proper etiquette for your shit. I found a wonderful site wish I had of found it earlier check it out its the nuts and bolts to any beginner like myself.
