Giants.

Bonsai.

I want to grow a tiny giant. A reminder of one of my most favorite places.

Food Face.

I am incredibly tempted to put this on our wedding registry.

"If your wrists hurt in the morning then you were doing it right."

I was doing it right. Last night I threw pottery on the wheel for the first time since high school and it was completely wonderful. The 5 week course was something I had been wanting to do for a while and so my family gave it to me as a gift for my birthday. The smell of the clay reminded me of working in the Schreckengost studio several summers ago and it put me so at ease. Never before have I been able to throw something on the wheel and have it centered, and stay centered, but last night I did. It felt great to be immersed in creating something that had nothing to do with greeting cards, or a freelance job...it was all me. All for my own enjoyment. At first the wheel I had chosen was broken. The class was full so I had no other option but to sit and wait for repairs to be made. But in the meantime, I had an older woman giving me tips on handbuilding with clay and I made two small birds. When the wheel was up and running again I made two pots that I'm very proud of. I can't wait to fire and glaze everything. I can't wait for the next class.

Planning.

My new favorite book.

Apparently we're six months behind schedule.

Everything is very overwhelming. But it's a good overwhelming. I have too much going on and need to write a lot of notes to myself to remember things...that is, if I remember to write the notes in the first place.

A creative update.

I just found out that one of my designs with Three Bears has been featured on Design for Mankind. Click the following link to be re-located to the article. (http://www.designformankind.com/2009/02/three-bears-design/)

And while I'm on the topic of Three Bears, we recently had an overhaul on our website and have added a numerous amount of new goodies including wallpapers for your desktop!

And last but not least, I just finished up this shirt design for the band Or So It Goes which features a pod of narwhals. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed working on this.

I couldn't count all the reasons why.

My future husband organizes his t-shirts by color. This makes me love him even more.
