Then I got an email from someone in England who said they saw my work on a site called whip up. I cruised over there to see what was posted about my pots and check out the comments. I am constantly amazed at the kind and generous things people say about my work, without even seeing it in person. This is what I love about blogging; it really connects me with a world I would not otherwise have the time or ability to communicate with. One commenter left something that I thought was wonderful:
I keep this quote from painter Robert Rauschenberg above my desk: “An idea is a trick to actually reach that solitary point of creativity. . . . I don’t really trust ideas–especially good ones. Rather, I put my trust in the materials that confront me, because they put me in touch with the unknown.”
