I too, have been like a beached whale on the wave of ideas. Maybe a different medium will help! Alyice sounds like she found good medicine. I too, have been like a beached whale on the wave of ideas.

Ironically, I, too, have found my creative spirit again and it soars. I am having a blast painting silly things and practicing the art of mixed media collages. Writing has been good to me but this past year I got burnt out--had been coming on for awhile. I find creating with my hands to be truly refreshing and I am even discovering that it's helping me find joy in my writing again. I can’t believe we lost touch this past year.

I've watched a potter create at the wheel when an artist taught some "mom and me" art classes when my kids were little. It does look like an amazing experience. And what a wonderful way to "connect" with our Master Potter. Thanks for stopping in! :) Hey Keri,

You’re so brave to take pottery! I’ve watched a potter create at the wheel when an artist taught some “mom and me” art classes when my kids were little. It does look like an amazing experience.

And what a wonderful way to “connect” with our Master Potter.

Thanks for stopping in! :)

We had a great time together. I learned to "throw" a pot on a wheel, and had a great time spending time with my son in his "territory" so to speak. Can't wait for you to post pictures of your artwork on your blog! heather, a year ago I decided to take a pottery class with my son, at the little art studio where he usually takes painting.
