Back in the Groove
Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at 5:49PM I'd also like to have at least 100 pots in my Etsy shop before Thanksgiving. That is going to be a challenge but maybe I can do it.
It was good to get into a making mode today and get some bowls and cups thrown. If I can get ahead on those things then I can move on to more time consuming pots like regular and altered jars and maybe a teapot or two.
I am feeling really motivated right now even with the anxiety of the upcoming months. I have had income from a couple of good shows as well as checks coming in from shops. That certainly makes me feel good, esp. when they call and say they'd like more pots. I want to keep pushing the work, the forms and decoration, as I go into the end of the year.
This hump molded trencher is a new shape that I'm excited about even though it's very simple and quick to make. I've made four of these over the past few days and I am looking forward to drawing in them. I want to make a slightly bigger version too.
So all in all things are good here. I have to admit that I haven't been doing great disconnecting from the web. It seems like that week at the beach threw me for a loop and when we got home I just fell back into my old habits. I've been more intentional over the past two days so maybe I can get back into a more healthy routine.
Off now for a walk w. Karma. Thanks for checking in!!
