ceramic tile | Musing About Mud

Hi everyone! Thanks for showing up, thanks for being here.

I know today feels pretty heavy, everywhere around this little planet of ours. My kids are home from school indefinitely now, and my aged parents live provinces away. I’m missing my loved ones and just want to go and give every last one of my friends in this world a hug. But alas it cannot be so. #fuckcovid19 to put it mildly.

So today I thought i’d share one of my favorite instagram accounts @ihavethisthingwithfloors

I love how this account allows me to travel around the world looking at stunning ceramic tile works. Thank goodness for social media and the internet at times like this to keep us feeling connected to the rest of the world. May we find ways to still share art and love and creativity throughout this pandemic and self isolation. I’ll try my best to stay active here on the blog and on instagram. But hugs my friends. Stay safe, stay healthy. Be creative. Love with wild abandon. Tell each other you love them. Help each other, we are all in this together. There is no I. We are one.

xoxo
