To be still

We did a photo shoot here in the studio last week and I wanted to give you a sneak peak. My main motivation is to debut my little ceramic flower (I slipped some into the tablescape). I've been churning them out while trying not to get too precious. Some have already exploded in the kiln. Oops. But then like any art form, we practice and practice and practice some more. Clay is teaching me patience. Speaking of practice and patience. I have all but abandoned mine, that is meditating. I find it incredible hard to wake with weak sunlight and sit quietly. The dark makes me sleep. And if I must get up before dark, it's a groggy dash to throw on whatever and seek strong coffee. But it does seem my littlest pheasant has cultivated a nice practice of sitting still. I love this picture (caught while I was cleaning). Talk soon. xo
