You haven't heard from me in a bit because I have been working on recording the tutorial library for the Foundry Template that I created specifically for artists (soon to be launched).
I took over the photo table, recruited the studio cat from , propped the laptop up, and then discovered that I truly hate recording myself. I hate it and find it exhausting. Both with and without the camera on. I ramble, go down rabbit holes, and then, after I realize I am not saying what I intended to - what is on my notes (yes, I have notes in front of me) then I freeze. I blank out and am just silent. Sigh.
I made the decision that I will turn the camera off for all the purely instructional videos. This makes it a little better. I am trying to embrace my flubs because thats human and we like human. I have a Virgo moon and agonize over my imperfections.
This is what I am doing this weekend. I will get through it. I will be better for it. Thanks for the pep talk.
FYI, this is why there are no videos of me making jewelry. I know it is a great idea, but I may have a nervous breakdown.
