New Website and Etsy Shop

We are so excited!

For the past several years we had someone else managing our website and doing an incredible job.But we really wanted to take on this challenge ourselves so with the help of good friends we have a start. Check out the website at www.zoaart.com and our new etsy shop www.zoaart.etsy.com .We actually have things there for sale,like the tortured hearts!So check it out and we'll have more on the website soon. Be patient with us we are really just learning how to do all this stuff.
While we where in Atlanta working on the web stuff Tony did a casting in bronze with Anne Choi.
wow! Wait till you see those pieces.There are wings,links and other findings and they look beautiful. With the bronze you can get great patinas like a green that looks as if its been out in the elements for a long time.Little treasures.I cant wait for you to see them! I'll try to get them finished and up later today.
Thanks again to our friends who have encouraged us to take this leap.

Break Through

I need a break through.......Pooring my soul into my work,this is my intention my vision my love and my joy.But sometimes.....So hard.....To focus.....My mind is going in so many directions and there are so many distractions and obstacles in my way.Or are there? Maybe I see obstacles where there are none or I make them bigger than they are.

I want this to be easier but nothing comes easy.Is that really a fair statment, Nothing comes easy?

I need a break through.....I'll keep searching.....Sometimes I search to hard and this is an obstacle.Sometimes its right there and I want to make it harder to see than it is.

Self-sabotage? Yes totally.

When one door closes I am so focused on that closed door I cant see the next door that has opened for me.And as it slowly closes, waiting for me to notice,I finally see it and slip through the crack befor the door is shut. I cant believe it took me that long to notice the new open door.

Break through.........I've got it!

What are your break through moments? Where are you, what are you doing? Lets share......

To break through days! Lisa
