Six years ago I started my own business that has grown quite well over the years but does absolutely nothing to fuel my creative drive. Other than to possibly finance said drive, of course. <br /><br />Well, I for one LOOOVE your pottery, even though I've yet to purchase anything. Unfortunately right now any and all extra funds we have are put into paying off our mortgage with the ridiculously high interest rate, so by the time that happens, I sure hope I'll be able to snag some of your ceramics then!j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10152233959306475899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-49324130015135682492010-01-13T21:50:03.355-08:002010-01-13T21:50:03.355-08:00welcome Laryssa!

I look forward to seeing or hearing about your other creative projects, if you choose to share them. A novel, maybe?<br /><br />I'm similar to Dirt-Kicker - very new, and no real style of my own yet (much less so than Dirt-Kicker, I dare say - and I mean no offense to her - I'm only making reference to her own comment). Although I do like variety, I need a style that says "Linda Dixon" I think.Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-34167954652553202692010-01-12T17:06:07.675-08:002010-01-12T17:06:07.675-08:00I just found your interview on Artists Who Blog.

I have seen your beautiful pottery on Etsy, in fact, I have added your pieces to my favorites! <br /><br />I'm so happy to get to know you better through your blog.

So this year is about focus so that hopefully next year, I can broaden my gaze again. I'm looking forward to a future where I can enjoy what you're planning for this year. Have fun!Michelle Engel Bencskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16219482020450093441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-45309923116772997912010-01-10T18:16:01.996-08:002010-01-10T18:16:01.996-08:00Your posts are usually so timely for me.

I was lucky to have a map piece in People magazine in Oct. And while it made for 3 crazy months, I am in a postion to slow down and take a new turn in my craft.<br /><br />I'm going back to vitrous (glass enameling) I used to be good at it, and I have so many new ideas that if my new non asbestos fire resistant gloves don't get here soon, I'm going to put my bare hands in the kiln.<br /><br />Here's to a wonderful year.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425809129458460775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-50891892405311151572010-01-06T00:01:38.134-08:002010-01-06T00:01:38.134-08:00I have always hated resolutions - they always have...I have always hated resolutions - they always have seemed to invovle failure!

It doesn't yet sell as well as my pottery, and takes me way more time to design a good piece, and 2/3 of what I do turns out badly and never gets listed, but I love making the pieces. <br /><br />I feel sort of guilty b/c I have a long list of people who want pottery and there is almost freaking nothing left on my Etsy store. I have bills to pay... you know this song.
