Its' been a crazy few days but I'm finally back (sort of). The kids are on vaca...Patrick's grad party is done.....and I can't locate anything in my house (including the cd of the additional firepit photo's Diana left at my house for the blog - sorry Diana, they'll turn up by August, hopefully). So here I am and I HAVE to get going on my work for the November show in Brockport. Ceramic artists do not ever have enough time! Time is a problem - really. It takes a seriously long time to create something, I should say to COMPLETE something. And even then - because so much of the process is left up to the 'GODS' (fate, luck, astrological sign, moon phase.....) you never know if the work will be presentable. So...........I have a lot to do and not alot of time for the 'redo'. Or the - 'do it again' do. Uhg.
One fantastic bit of news - my website is out!! Please go to www.CherylHungerford.com to check it out. It is not 100% yet - but very close and I am extremely happy with the design. My kid did good! You'll find my blog link on there, as well as my Etsy account. I'm still loading that with my 'for sale' items - work in progress. I've learned alot about shipping (aka - Show work road kill) so I am rethinking the sell-ables. Don't want to be known as the artist who ships 'wrecks'. Please give me feed back on the site, though. I would appreciate it. One thing that a couple of artist friends have commented on is the inability to open the images completely. I know - a problem that Patrick is working on.
Today's mug - another creation from the Brockport Holiday Art Collection. I have alot of these - so get use to it! I don't know who did this one - but it is one of my 'tried and true' mugs. Always there, always sturdy (for those 'less awake' mornings) and always approachable. A good mug should be approachable, don't you think? I do not like those skinny, delicate, 'pinky-in-the-air' cups......they wouldn't last one morning in my house! Plus, a good mug should look 'huggable'. You know what I mean, right? Like its filled with this warm 'elixar of life' and you just want to wrap yourself around it and soak in the colombian bean goodness....starting to get myself all excited....
K - onto the day. Don't know if I'll get in the studio. After all is said and done I still have kids home now, and another business to help run. Tick, tock, tick tock......
