JOY!!!
My forearms and wrists ache, my back aches, my neck is killing me, I'm sweaty, muddy, and happy: Wedged some 70 lb of clay between yesterday and today, and did the preliminary work on a large oval dish which is to have two dancing Knossos dolphins inside. Also rolled a cylinder to pat into a rectangular prism when it stiffens up a bit tomorrow, the first of a series of lamp bases.
Now I have to get inspired to make a series of not-too-kitschy, easy to sell small decorative pieces that can be put together in a few minutes. But I intend to give myself a whole week of doing only what I feel like and enjoy doing, a sort of overdose of pleasure to get me into a more serious working mood.
It hasn't turned cold yet, but definitely feels like Autumn. The mulberry tree is casting its leaves into the goosepond, the hawthorn bushes are loaded with bright berries, the thrushes are beginning to arrive and there's that special feeling in the air that says summer has departed. This evening I'm filled with the contentment of a bountiful Fall and overflowing with joy,
SO I WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY SPRING!
