Totem:  Transcendence, slab built ceramic wall sculpture with natural objects mounted on wood for hanging by Tammy Vitale.

I can’t get the amethyst piece to show up well on these photos – probably because it is so pale.  But here is another totem for this weekend.  I definitely have to get busy and start making things because I’m really low on regular retail items.  And at the same time want to move more toward torsos and the totems than the Ugly Fish which I think I’ve mentioned are selling like hot cakes.  Here are two more Ugly Fish who have not been named yet but are nonetheless presented for your viewing pleasure.

Am having one of those mornings where I guess I’m a bit on overwhelm (work day at the part-time job) and can’t think of a whole lot to say here.  Am going to take a stab at putting in a few flowers this morning and watering the rest.  Then I have a very full day of part-time work. Lots of driving and a meeting that probably won’t end until around 9pm with an hour drive home.  Part-time.  It’s part-time.

And I’m moving toward but still not totally ready for the show this weekend.  Feeling a bit of pressure there.

thought for the day:  …ease up on your skirmish for clarity.  The vagueness will clear when you decide to embrace whatever you hear.  I like to remember that I don’t have to struggle for what I already possess.  You came with instincts and imperatives, and they will thrust through the mud and bud in their own glad season.  it’s not your answers or ideas that you need to worry about.  It’s your resistance to your ideas, any immediate reaction to choke the strange and uncomfortable.  Take care of these weeds and the creative seeds will take care of themselves.

There’s nothing to choose.  Just something to set loose.  meanwhile, relax and receive.  Receive and believe.  the heart always knows.  You have everything you need.  Tama Kieves, This Time I Dance
