Finally!

After two months without internet, I am happy to say that I finally have it back.

now, time to play catch up! I have so many sites I need to visit just to catch up on all I have missed.

up first, Blogger ;P

Awake

Sleep finally caught up to me around 1PM yesterday, so I slept the day away and woke up at about 1am.

I will be awake all day today so that tonight I can go to the Gallery and see the new show.

I am Determined to get out of this house more, I dont care if I have to walk all the way there, but I need more in my life than computer and sleep.

but for now, since It is 2am, Computer and Sleep are my only options.

Liar!

I always say I am going to update this more often, but then I dont, and that is why I am a liar.

but my reason for lack of updates is the same as always, my life is boring. There is nothing spectacular going on in my life that the 4 of you who follow this blog need to know about.

but Here I am, typing away at 5am because I cant sleep.

I have been having a hard time sleeping lately, and its getting old, I need to be normal again. I like being normal.

This Friday, there is a new Show at Surface Gallery, Its been forever since I have been to the Gallery, It will be good to get out of the house and check it out.

So here is my update, and thats all I have to say for now.

I will try to keep you posted on my life as stuff happens, but with me, its bound to stay as uneventful as always.

:)

People

Im not a big fan of them.

most people annoy me, but the other night, while I was in line at Chipotle, I met this really cool Lady

she was in line getting her dinner, her kids(or grandkids) were sitting close by eating burgers

and as we waiting in line for almost half an hour, we talk about Chipotle, In & Out, Steak & Shake, and what we liked, didnt, never had.

It was a pretty cool conversation

and then It was my turn to make my food, we said our good byes.

I will most likely never see her again

and thats really sad.

There are too many people on this planet to keep track of them all...
but I will remember the lady from the Line at Chipotle.

Summer Workshop

This Summer, The Gallery Hosted different Summer Art Workshops. I was Lucky to be invited by Yvonne(Still Odd to call her that) to Assist her for the Ceramics Cupcakes. The Workshop ended up being a few people short, so she didnt really need my help, so I got to Play with Clay myself :D

Each Person was Given a pound of Clay and were tasked in creating 2 Ceramic Cupcakes, 1 for Practice, and 1 to show the improving Skills.

Some of the people who were there, it was their first time working with Clay.
Others, Like Myself, have been in a ceramics Class before, so we were able to do what we wanted.
I Wanted a Cupcake, and Something Else.

This is the Cupcake I made.

I Loved It, This was the first time Hand Building a Cupcake, And It turned out awesome.








For my other Piece, I wanted it to Fit with the Desert Theme.
So, I decided on a Doughnut.



This Turned out Really Well too, You cant really tell, but there is a layer of Clay that looks like the Icing, when I Glaze this, It will be a different Color, and will have Sprinkles.

There were 8 people there, and these are some of their Projects.



My Friend Ruth was there, and since she has been in Ceramics, she decided to make something different, and she chose the Monster from Where The Wild Things Are.


I Loved this Little Guy, he turned out Really well.

And Finally, Here were a Few of the Examples she had from Previous Students, and she had made herself.




I had an amazing Time there, and I cant wait until more Workshops start in the fall.

This is where my Heart Truly belongs, In Clay.

Cupcakes

This Saturday, My Ceramics Teacher is having a Ceramics Workshop, and She will be demonstrating the Subtractive Method, and using it to Make 2 Ceramic cupcakes.

At the Time this was announced, I wanted to go, but could not afford it.

That was until she Offerered me the position as her Assistant, so I will be there assisting her in teaching everybody. I am So Very Excited about this.

I Will post Pictures, and Show some of the work done.

Things That Hurt

I'm sitting at my computer, listening to music, thinking about stuff.

I started thinking about things that Hurt, I dont mean physical Injuries.
I mean things that cause my very heart and soul to feel pain,

This is where Music comes in, there are sometimes when if im not listening to music, I feel empty, I cant think, I cant concentrate, and I cant breathe. I Love my Music, and It Hurts to think about my life without Music. I dont think I could live through a live without sound, It kills me to imagine a life without it.

Im sitting here with my Lily, and I cant Imagine life without her either, She is my baby, she is so precious, I love everything she does, every lick, every tail wag, every loud yapping bark, looking at her brings Joy to my heart.
Yet I know it wont last, she wont live as long as I will, she wont be in my life forever, and the thought of losing her feels like losing myself.

Im not a very artisitic person, I cant draw, I cant sing, I cant dance, but When I throw on the Wheel, I can create some things that surprise me, It has been over 3 Months since I have last thrown on the wheel, I miss the feeling of Clay touching every part of my hands, I miss the feeling of the Wheel moving, and creating something out of a lump of mud... it is such a wonderful feeling, and I miss it so much. I have all of these pent up emotions that I cant get rid of, I need that release, the emotional release of throwing everything on that wheel and creating something.

I Love my life, and everypart of it, but things change so much, and so often, I dont want them to ever be different, I dont want them to ever change, I dont want to change...

But It will, and It will hurt, Like never before, it will hurt, but one good thing about the pain, is that it goes away, because something new will come along, and it wont take the place of what you lost, but it will ease the pain.
