if only every moment could be perceived as fleeting

~LOOKING TO TRADE???

~ a photography/art studio is always in need of some basics and new things arise all the time- if you have any suggestions, please let me know- please keep in mind- i am extremely particular about my paint, brushes, palette knives, painting knives, stretcher bars and canvas- i will accept these things in trade BUT ONLY THE ONES I USE- do not go buy paint, or any painting supplies (unless they are on the list below) and then tell me you want to trade! i guarantee you won't get the right stuff and you will waste your money... on the other hand, if you feel like contributing to my painting life, let me know- i can tell you which things and approx. how much they will cost~ like stand oil, i am almost out of that...

~here are some ideas!

(these options vary in value greatly, they can be combined- basically, this is how it works- you tell me what you want to trade, and show me the receipt- the idea is this ***i will DOUBLE your dollar amount in photo work, you will get discounted jewelry in trade, painting can be discussed - these are for new items/ other *stuff* {mixed media stuff, naturopathic work, massage} will be discussed when you present the idea )

in no particular order....

health~
-earplugs- yeah, the kind musicians wear
-naturopathic work/ iridology
-massage- but i think queen of pie is in charge of these already!
-white sage bundles (and please, don't go buy this- i am interested in respectful trading methods only ~for sage, sweetgrass and so on)

supplies/equipment~
-sterling silver wire, 20G round half hard
-sterling silver chain (talk to me first please)
-parts of cabinets or walls for surfaces- not too big i can't cut it down at home...
-windows
-help making painting storage racks
-DORLAND'S WAX MEDIUM~ The BIG jar
-2 good power strips
-a few good extension cords (the orange ones)
-*external hard drives/ MAC compatible- can't have enough of these
-*DVD burner and dvd's (again, can't have enough dvd's and cd's-BLANKS Y'ALL)
-clamps, clips, molding hooks, wire, picture wire and hooks etc etc etc

fun stuff~
-collapseable hula hoop, no pink on there please (possibly already taken)
-gift certificate to Cafe Gratitude www.withthecurrent.com/index.html
the only place i have found that i can order any thing on the menu and feel secure.
(one meal, must include desert! i don't get that much being wheat and dairy free! and a glass of organic wine [they have a nice list] would be nice too, but not a must)
-earrings, i need some carved earrings 2g

other~
-MUNI pass-( don't buy this in the middle of the month! )
-you bring me a paying client and i give you something in return (jewelry or photos/ either prints of fine art work or portraits/ 1 hour of photos taken + edits // amounts depend on what sort of client you refer)
-**(just broke one, need this soon) a french press- i'll want two of these eventually (one for loose tea i mix myself and one for coffee)

assist.~
sometimes i am looking for assistance for shoots, which would be a photo trade- possible jewelry trade

"The elusive and always beautiful possible. It's the possible we seek each time we fall in love. It's the possible we're looking for when we travel, when we paint, when we sing. It's the possible that's always just around the corner, it's the possible that infects our dreams, drives us forward sometimes to madness. And the loss of the possible is sometimes more devestating than the death of the actual."
