My most recent column in Belle Armoire Jewelry is hitting newsstands now and this issue’s topic is facing fear as an artist in order to move forward. I give some real life examples on how feeling the fear and doing it anyway really helps one grow personally and professionally. Trust me, I’m writing from experience.
Tomorrow and Monday I get two new opportunities to continue working on my fears of being on camera. Tomorrow, I’m doing some filming for my book “Making Metal Jewelry”, coming out Dec. 13th. The safety net for this filming is that it can be edited to fix any boo-boos I might make. On Monday morning, I’ll be live on Sonoran Living ABC Channel 15 locally in Phoenix with my fab friend Terri Ouelette, or crafty mama Terri O as I like to call her. Terri is adorable on camera! Ugh, no pressure there. She radiates energy and youth and enthusiasm. I think it helps that she has a 25+ year history of being in the news business and on camera. (ya think?) I’m gonna do my best to shine right alongside of her.
I’m really jazzed about being on the show with Terri and showing off ICE Resin and our amazing Art Mechanique bezels to Arizona and beyond. If you’re local and have a dvr, please hit the record button Monday from 9-10 a.m. If you happen to be hanging around your home, grab a cuppa joe and take some time to tune in to Sonoran Living, a great daily lifestyle show.
I’ll be sure to post the web link to the broadcast when they have it available for all my non-Phoenix blog friends!
Here’s wishing you a truly Artful day!
I kind of liked the lights. It was the zooming cameras that got me. LOL.
I wish the blog had a like button like in Facebook. Visualize a thumbs up right now.
You will do great, just be yourself!
Go Jen Go! You’ll be wonderful on the show. I have troubles being in front of the camera, so I completely understand your concerns. I think the lights are the toughest part of the whole deal for me. Good luck!
