So, it's Tuesday and I swung by the office to check in...although no one is really around, since the office is cold. Sorted some mail, made some calls, looking out at a windy but bright New England December day. Tomorrow we are supposed to get more snow...so I need to get that durn Wovel put together.

I find that so interesting, but I get it. You want to push, pull, stretch, engage even deeper with each artistic endeavor. I find this so true in clay...whether I am making the same thing over and over, I still want to tweak it, get into more, try something a little different.....

Tuesday was a busy day at my office but we were allowed to go a magnanimous 1.5 hrs early. I'm so glad to have today off. I once was an art major many years ago...
"Most" of the time I like the stretching and pulling...but there are those places where I resist and resist and resist.
