Where's Noah?

Its hot, humid, 35C+ and raining!
We get a lot of rainbows in this area and today there are four I can see from the window of my bedroom. I took some photos but am not gifted so they didn't turn out to post here. Just shut your eyes and imagine...try to hear the sound of moaning cows about 600m away as they enjoy the cooling effect the rain offers them.

Tonight a few other artists and I celebrate the culmination of a show we've put on together...well, it really happens tomorrow but tonight we'll share drinks & finger food and lots of stories on why we do this to ourselves.
May there be many more creatives out there doing the same in their worlds. And may they go in two's.
Peace to all.

new studio, new kiln, new firing schedules, new shows, & new web site/design...and still testing it all.

ok, its mid November 2009 and I've got to admit I'm hopeless when it comes to bloggin' on a regular basis. Don't know how regulars do it. My days are filled with just that: daze. Last five have been early 5am's, kiln on by 5:30am to get some work ready for this weekend's show...and not even sure if I should try to uphold a standard to my ceramic pieces since I've had no time to consider one. I'll make the most of the show and sales on Saturday to try a new beer my husband has bought for me;)

Really, this year's been a bit of a blurrrrr, starting with a round the world trip to see family I hadn't shared space with in over nine years, then coming home to Oz to find a new direction and purpose to why I'm here. A few friends and family lost this year added sadness to all the sugar and making a June winter a different sort of hibernation. And now the mad rush to test clays, glazes and make my own mark out of it all over the next one to forty years.

Must get some rest for now. The mind is working on sifting new schedules to fit in a regular blogging habit. Only time will tell if this could be my new pass time.
Am also designing a new website, to be launched sometime next week at:
