I haven't been writing a lot about my pottery. Although this blog is supposed to be about it.
I'm not very good about following the rules about working on my business. It is so hard to stay
focused and not get overwhelmed. It seems like that's all I can manage to do is be overwhelmed
by all the shoulds and should nots. I decided to go with the flow or try to at least.
I have been working ferociously on my angels and have almost 30 ready for the holidays. I need to take new pictures for my website. It hasn't been updated in ages. Also, the Morpheo line is out for now. Haven't made any of these things in probably 2 years. And I have my new treehugger line instead. It is coming along nicely. I really really need to work on slowing myself down. I'm such a fast worker, but I need not be sloppy. I had a dream about my friend Jeanette Zeis and she kept on telling me about the spirit, the spirit of things. It keeps on reverberating in my head. Just mindfully working on each little thing will make a difference. I know it.
I need to keep it simple. I'm always trying to do too many things at the same time. I'll try to just concentrate on the angels and tree vases. Mostly... I am working on another new gallery line, because that is an area I need to invest more time in. I am proud of myself to have my work in several public spaces in the US, but again, my website says nothing about that. Anyway, if I could just finally work it out in my head, that idea. I'll just need to get down and dirty and allow myself messy 'mistakes'. Be ugly! Please hold me accountable!
So, here you have it. My frazzled, self-doubting self revealed.

You are an artist - go with it. Don't set up too many rules and regulations that tie you down. Do you need specific lines or just works by Tania Julian Ceramics.
You are wonderfully talented based on the pieces that I have seen online.
Our energy is limited. Decide where it is best to focus yours and do it. Good luck!
