The snow looks great. It was in the 70’s today in Gainesville. I got to see the snow for the first time in three years over Christmas. While I was working this winter at BMS we couldn’t fire the electric because the thermocouple was too cold. The computer is only set to work above freezing. I think you could override with a space heater. I don’t think being outside will hurt your elements, just the computer if you have one.

Hi,
I just read your post below- great post and great advice.
I think this is why we post.
So many of us spend time alone and having someone to bounce ideas with is great.
There was so much good advice there.
Hope the soup was good- warm weather is coming.

Coffee in the early morning, coffee in the night, caffeine the entire day long. That is how my day look just like. I am passionate to espresso. I have to claim your post has been a quality read. You should try and check out my website regarding caffeine at Single Cup Coffee Makers

Annie,
I too am participating in that show and I thank goodness for the blogging community!
All of your issues are mine as well.. and granted when it comes to putting food on the table, I would never fault anyone for compromise…
However, I designed clothing for years and the retail community can take your work, YOUR ART, and twist it into something that “SELLS LIKE HOT CAKES” and then it can become a case of “Be careful what you wish for” meaning: You may very well end up a “production potter” making the same work over and over in glossy red….and is that what it’s all about? I think not. If you can continue to evolve and grow and live…I say keep going down that road.
Just an opinion(obviously…)

Annie, I’m so sorry I read your blog and admire your work (of course you already know how obsessed I am with your work) but I never leave you a comment on here… It’s wonderful to hear your heart on the matter and to see you wrestle through things and grow as a potter as God opens doors and you seek wisdom on the best path for your gifts and heart for your art. I’m so glad your community is growing on the blog and I hope you are able to find a solid mentor as well.

Thanks for reminding and challenging me in my own art. You are inspiring and talented…it’s good you are wrestling with all of these decisions… you are the only one with your specific gifts, vision, calling …and family…keep seeking God’s wisdom in all aspects.

I love you my dear friend and can’t wait to keep witnessing your future.

I was there once. I was a production potter, i can, i suppose, make thousands of things the same, and sometimes I used to enjoy that, there’s a something, a something I used to think of as zen, to working over and over with a single form, but… but indeed.
I had galleries tell me what they wanted. And customers… always the promise of more sales if I would just… But I don’t want to make it in red with a glossy glaze!

But hey, there was the rent to pay, so, i did it. And I didn’t feel good about it. And I didn’t do it well, because I had no love for a bastard piece that’s only part mine.

Go with your heart. Don’t get trapped into being a machine, turning out things you cease to love, in order to pay the bills.
Go with your heart.
