Didn't make it as a designer
Awhile back, I applied to be a designer for Alpha Stamps. I have been asked before by other companies but did not do it because I did not feel that I would be able to work with the products they sell. I actually liked quite a bit of the stuff that this company carried. I was kinda disappointed tonight when I found out that I did not get it. I wanted to do this because I wanted to challenge myself with my art. I wanted to be able to create something with materials that someone gave me. It is easy for me to create with what I already have. I wanted to expand out of my "current" box. It is one thing to experiment but another to create for publication on a regular basis. Looks like I will not be traveling down this road. I will get over it.

Waah! Disappointed for you. There are other commpanies. Keep trying!
Hi :)
I'm finally finding a few minutes to get caught up online---reading blogs, replying to email, uploading art, writing in my blog, etc. Sorry to see you didn't get the designer position. I rarely even think of applying for that kind of thing or submitting art for publication---I don't handle the rejection thing very well. I don't take it personally when rejected, but it still makes me feel bad and I spend way too much time thinking about it!! I did submit the Crown project that I taught last month. Six of my students completed their crowns (including me)and I sent them in last week. I am keeping my fingers crossed that at least a few of them get published. Hope you are feeling better. Being sick this time of year is such a drag and it seems to hang on forever. I'm also hoping that your "muse" has a quick recovery. Looking forward to seeing some new and exciting things from you.

Sorry you didn't get the position. You at least went out and tried for it and that takes moxie. I know you have what it takes to make it. So don't give up.
HI
Just a gentle reminder , if I may...
the title should read
"Didn't make it as a designer...yet"
That gives the universe space to help make that dream come true, if you really want it.
Sometimes, NO is the right answer, for the situation. With respect, Sassafras
