Not really here

Sadly, Dear Internets, this blog has become a bit neglected. Not from any lack of interest or lack of words but because of lack of time.

Poor sad neglected Frog Ponds Rock.

I have had some cracking ceramic deadlines that have had me chewing my fingernails in frustration at the time it took the pots to dry out enough to be fired. The pots are now in the hands of Australia Post and I will publish proper photos once their new owner has seen them. But here is a sneak peek.

Plans for World Domination seem to be on track with my chairing of a very successful and productive third meeting for the National Ceramics Conference, The Tasmanian Triennlae 2018. We now have a name and a date and will soon have a logo as well.

Somehow I have managed to be elevated to the lofty position of Art Director at The Shake and this challenging position is also helping to keep me away from this blog as I only have a limited amount of creative juice and The Shake is getting first squeeze.

If you know of any photographers, amateur or professional that would like to submit photographs to be used at The Shake I would be more than happy to talk with them about our needs.

It is June and I find myself sliding down into a patch of dark grief. Yesterday was a pretty shit day and I spent the morning reading my mum’s diary and crying. Surprisingly enough being called  sexist  and racist on twitter cheered me up as that gave me something tangible to focus my negative energy onto and so silver linings internet, silver linings.

Today I fly out to Melbourne to embark upon another ceramic adventure with my Mud Colony Girls as we head to the wilds of Inverloch for a weekend of Open Ceramic Studios, food and wine, mostly FOOD.

I am missing you a bit my lovelies so here is a nice photo of a summer sunset to make up for my terrible neglect.

    Gorgeous sunset – and I itch to see more of those pots.
    I hope grief has relinquished some of her hold on your heart today.
    Hugs.

    Don’t miss us – we’re all still with you! You were with me this afternoon. I had a hot chocolate in your/my beautiful cream and red thumb-dimpled Kim cup xxx Anytime you need a distraction and would like some abuse, let me know!

    you’ve caught my attention…what kind of photos would they be looking for? And would very amateurish snapshots be acceptable? Random stuff or photos of specifically requested objects/places and so on?
    Can you tell I’m curious?

    That sunset photo is truly gorgeous.
    PS how is your wrist and thumb holding up?

    Well you are more ‘here’ than I am.
    I adore the photo.
