As my 3 year old granddaughter pointed out one night when I was stressing about undone things. "Nana today is over tomorrow is new" The simple wisdom. So in a broader spectrum 2011 is over and 2012 is new! I started the new year taking a class I had been trying to schedule for over a year. I turned off my phone and just sculpted with this new clay and listened to the stories all the while forming something I had no idea what it was going to be. The clay this time is used for bronzing when you are done. As I shaped and held and smoothed I was so immersed I didn't want to stop. This clay so different you add clay as you go and then poke, shape, push, take away. Ahhhhhh so awesome. He is looking like I shall call him the "Wise One". I have the alive feeling I get when I create. The world looks brighter and I feel stronger. When my instructor told me I have a natural talent. Then she asked " you can feel it can't you, you just know when you have what it takes." It touched one of my inhibitors. I did feel like this is something I can be good at. Just having someone not related make that judgement call was awesome. I don't know why I have a hard time opening my work of any sort to strangers. I take it so personal I feel judged. But I suddenly have this burst of WHY NOT ME. Just like my motto hanging on the wall. My artist balance would love to be selfish this year. So we shall see.
