Launching the Blog

My first post. I have been watching what other people are doing with blogs, & think I also have things to share! Hi, I am Patti Jacobs. I am an artist living in the Byron Shire, Northern Rivers NSW. I have been printing fabrics with linocut blocks for over 25 years now, & have sold my wares at all the local markets & festivals. Now I have a studio connected to Gallery Cosmosis, & have given up those long days at the markets.
I have also spent the last 3 years studying how to make websites, with the view to creating affordable & functionable sites for artists & creators of other genres, & I can now create wonderful sites with galleries.
I initially did a 6 month course with the local ACE (Adult Community College) & acheived a Certificate 4 in Websites, and that was a launching pad into the realm of website creation! Since then I have been in my Macbook Pro learning the ins & outs of Dreamweaver, & now WordPress.
I look at the net as a magic realm, and to be able to make a beautiful & effective site (with easily navigatable content) & then put it up for the whole world to access is akin to being a modern day magician for me!I am so happy to be able to do this now...... & there is always more too learn!
This site will be exploring my art work, showing future students what I do in a printing workshop, a little bit of my other worlds, & a connecting place to other arts people near & far....and their blogs..... thank you for reading my initial blurb folks! Please connect to me & FOLLOW this blog!!
