been busy lately

My apologies if emails have gone without reply, if posts have been late in coming, or I’ve dropped the ball lately here on the blog. I have good reason as we are finally moving to our new home this weekend. It’s an understatement to say that it’s been a hectic few months, but soon all will quiet down again. I thank you for your patience and understanding at times when my life gets in the way : )

If you look really closely you’ll see my kiln amongst the mess of my packed up studio. Everything is packed and ready to go, but I just had to get one last firing in. Silly artists, we never sleep!

technical tuesday: doesn’t everyone want a studio assistant?

i often dream of studio assistants.
oh the things i could get done,
the ideas that would finally be realized.
not that i’d want someone to do all the work for me.
heavens no.
just a bit of help.
i wonder, for those of you that have studio help, 
when did you get to the point where that was actually the best decision,
financial and otherwise?
 once you’ve had the joy of someone else mixing your glazes for you, could you ever go back?
well for now i’ll take the help i can get.
our coffee breaks sure are fun : )
