What if you could learn to get out of your own way. Imagine the things you could do.
I'm trying some new things and enjoying myself. I had my earphones on and Tony Joe White's BOOM,BOOM BOOM on loud and repeat.

I'm just getting back to my pots after what seems like a very long time. Too long!
I picked up a couple of things in Wooster that I wanted to try.
1. The darted cup by Jen Allen. Mine look like the cup is wearing a dust mask or perhaps because it's lower down more like

an athletic support. My cousin Brenda thought I was making chicken feeders.
The second thing I wanted to try was Kenyon Hanson's flying saucer lids. I liked the idea of sticking your figure in the hole instead of having a knob. Brenda thought they might be too hot to handle on a teapot. That didn't worry me but I couldn't get my little shovel hand beneath the handle to get it out comfortably so I stuck a wee knob on the side. Actually now the lids look like mini teapots.
It felt really good to be back making. I don't want to ever be away from the making of my own work for that long ever again. Some people need coffee in the morning. Some people need a cocktail while cooking dinner. Some people need to create art. I need them all.
