@mia thank you

It feels like an affirmation that I should continue to follow my curiosity and passion regardless of whether or not I think people will want to purchase the end product. Sometimes it’s tough to make that choice when you’re also trying to also make a living.

Today, I got an order from an interior design co requesting two lamp bases using my #Florida crackle surface. I’ve only ever used it for the pieces I’ve made for local gallery shows to share my #WildClay experiments with the general public. I mark them NFS and never thought of the pieces as sellable because of the fragility of the surface. I’m pretty excited that the designer accepts the fragility and wants me to use this surface on functional objects.

It's my first Fediversary! Still happy to be here, no regrets leaving IG--in fact, it's been a relief.
