And life steps in...

How I do want to write every day...but then life steps in...
A migraine (very rare for me) along with vertigo flattening me for days, and just tonite trying to regroup.  And then I'm going away tomorrow until Friday...concerned about piece that is there now.
But above, you will see the photo I took (thank heavens!) of the dragonfly piece that gave its life to the kiln.  You can see its intricacy...a good 25 hours put in on it.  Still a shock as I look at that picture that it is gone.  But always "patience and humility, Carolyn"...

The entry into my Artist as Muse show so wonderful, although will be challenging as again I'm entering into an area new to me.  I worked from paintings before...or sculpture photos.  But this photo of a live body seems more complicated.  The first one is completed, and the second one begun.  I am concerned about drying issues with this and will probably call Art Works and ask Jesse to go up to studio to spray it down til I get back. 
But surely, I can be reflecting and thinking about/writing about my life as artist while I am away.  This writing definitely focuses my attention on the task, and somehow opens creative channels.  Just wanted to share the dragonfly pic with others...  Namaste til I return at the end of the week.
