Expose yourself!

Use your blog to show others how you make your work. 
Expose its process of manufacture - what inspired it, what you're thinking of now, and perhaps, what you're considering doing next. 

Sharing your preliminary drawings, photographs, thoughts and ruminations will highlight your creative process to others.
