fresh from the oven.... Mmmmm

I understand that I am in the beginning of a love affair and that all this energy and

excitement cannot maintain this height for long,

I am taking it by its harness and flying.

I also signed up for a marathon. Well,

not really.

But I did apply to a craft show in Asheville. A pretty popular local venue for

I was excited but not too hopeful... because rejection is one of those consistent

realms in the art world that can bring you down, way down,

It is the Big Crafty. July 8th. Downtown Asheville.

So it is my clay marathon. I am training, and practicing and experimenting with what

will work, what I love, and what other people comment on with excitement.
