Against the Grain

Going against the grain is hard...even when you know (more than anything else you've ever known in your life) that you're on the right path. While you feel very fortunate, at the same time, you can also feel quite fragile. I equate this feeling with taking out the safety net from under you, feeling your way in the dark, or free falling off a cliff.

This post is dedicated to those who are doing what they love, because sometimes it can be a tougher road when your heart is completely exposed.

And when in doubt...eat a cupcake or two...? :P

Happy Tuesday, dear friends.

Breaking it Up

Currently, I'm making toys at a much slower pace to try to ensure that I (still) enjoy the process despite the mass production :P ...

I also realize that I will need to take time out to do other creative things (as you can see I am completely out of practice with taking polas :S)...

And that other additional creative outlets are also necessary to keep me thoroughly amused (thanks to M and J for this funny Figwok concept xoxo)...

Um, may the force be with you (?).

Switching Gears

Thank you all so very much for your kind comments and text messages from my last post - it really means a lot! :*

I am still figuring things out and am trying to just "roll with it" the best that I can. Since my work is based on various mediums, and now that I'm dedicating all of my time to this, I am constantly switching gears, all the while, I guess, trying to establish some sort or routine. Incidentally, I also felt quite inspired and better about everything after reading Sandra's post on her work day (Tackar, dear S! xoxo).

Lastly, here are some photos of what I've been doing lately....

(...before they were fishbones, they were sperm...? :P)

Wishing you a happy weekend in your corner of the world.

Sister Sea Otters

Here are a pair of sea otters that I made as a special Christmas gift request from my friend David.

As you can see, they fancy having fish, shrimp and clams for dinner. :)

Happy Monday!
