For the past several months I have been in production mode; trying to get enough inventory for the events at the studio. It is good to get lots done, but it keeps me from really making art. It just dawned on me yesterday, that the holidays are over and the slow months are coming up. So, I pulled out my sketchbook and started to look over the many ideas I've sketched out over the past year. Now, I can work on some really unique pieces (I hope!) I've actually only made a couple of things from my sketchbook. Most everything else was a result of playing and experimenting with the clay.
So this is my New Year's resolution. (I print it here for all to see so I have to do it!) I will sketch every day in my sketch book and create work only from my sketches for the next three (cold and wintry) months. I will make something worth entering into a contest and enter it. The worst that could happen is it gets rejected. And I will post my work here for you to see and critique.
Oh, and the other resolution? I've lost 3.3 lbs. so far.
