This year I will:
work harder to make what I do resemble a career
spend less, make more
make without fear
challenge everything i think about my work
push my boundaries
get outside my box
do more glaze tests
buy more handmade
consider more layers. in work and in content
find the elusive colors i seek
make tangible the thoughts in my head
become inspired by more artists
try to make inspiring work
try to find more confidence about my work
apply for more shows
learn to say no to the things that just absorb my time in non productive ways
check my email only once a day rather than countless
give more back
learn new skills
travel more
meet more artists face to face
write again
soda fire again
take more pictures
smile more
appreciate more
and clean my studio
here’s to looking forward to another amazing year at musing about mud
thank you all for being here with me.
i do hope you’ll continue to (or start to for those that have been quiet) share your work and life and community with me.
xoxoxo
That is some list! Seems cleaning our studios is a holiday theme for many of us. I could just do a copy and paste to make my own list :^)
Happy New Year…
Most inspiring post. I think I echo almost everything you mention with the exception of soda firing. Thank you and may all this come to fruition for you.
OK, I suppose I'll add "clean my studio" to my list too… Happy New Year!
That's a list that can be easily lived with… except for the cleaning part.
Cheers Carole!
you know your welcome to soda/wood fire with me out in the Kootenays any time! It would be great to see the whole family out to visit and fire. Lets make it happen…..more travel and more soda fire.
hey that was me, anonymous,
Robin
yeah the cleaning part i might ignore a while…too much other work to be done.
and Robin – i can't say no to that wonderful of an offer! thanks : )
