it's Vicki's birthday!!! The word for the week is now. live in IT. I can actually feel it. The now. this moment. i am present. clay does that for me. I'm planting seeds, celebrating many birthdays, assembling garden stuff. altering a prom dress. debating about the Raccoon. if I don't feed the birds, she goes away. We learned new tools for helping Reijo. The essential oil protocol is helping so much with his sleep patterns. focus, memories. and more.
It was productive week for nature too. The grass turned green the daffodils bloomed trees are budding out. I need to prune the pampas grass. In the studio. I did the first bisque last week. made stuff with granddaughter Rita. We also got out to a few galleries to inspire and admire. Eleven years old now and enjoys galleries. she recognized things in the gallery that we practiced at home. New plans. soap dishes for Vicki. label Rocks for Raini's garden. it gave me a good chance to study Mishima. The procrastinating of glazing will end. hoping to update the product pages soon. in the meantime, I'm checking in and thinking about so many of you. Blessings. and NOW! in gratitude. The laundry.

Today I am excited to open my new expanded display at Sweet Peas in Two Harbors. On entering the store mosey to the back right side of the store. Nestled within the beautiful books. I present Simple Pleasures, Altered Bowls, Watchers and Sacred Places. Thank you Randy and Katie Lancaster, the best hosts.

Today is one of those days when the dog hair keeps getting into my Throwing.
and yesterday a stray string cut right through the a spinning pot.
but hey! I'm livin'the dream.

Clay camp

There is just nothing better than a 17 hours of Clay camp at the studio . Firing Merlin, making pots and communing (sharing lives, laughter, ideas, and processes,) with my like minded mud fiends or friends? Thanks for a fabulous day! Julie, Ray, Kim, Sheila, Lisa, Rita, Abe, Debbie, Tim and a few more.
Kiln opening is Tuesday at noon.

2015 adding haiku

2/10/2015

OK it is 2015 and with January comes the joy of reflection and setting new goals for the year. I love this time. The holidayra past, in the dark months, I settle in for a long winters nap; sleeping, dreaming, reflecting, creating and planning. I want to be more present here on the blog, so I have concocted this idea. Commit to a simple little haiku a week. it forces the first step. get online! then it forces a moment of creative expression and reflection.
that's all. Here we go.
The rules.
    must be art, or ceramic related.
    the last line of this week becomes the first line of next week.
    3 lines of 5-7-5 format
that's all
the rest is magic.

seeking perfection
imperfection, it is said
that's where beauty lies.
