Off to Taipei
Someone said to me that there is a time in your life for everything, but not everything all of the time. I should make this my motto from now on. Slow down!
Yesterday, I went into the pottery studio and unloaded my kiln. The moment the shelf was lifted, I almost fainted. Everything was wrong. So wrong, it was so shocking, the colors were all wrong. Those were 3 months of my works. My mind was racing thousands miles a second trying to figure out what I did wrong. Humm... was I drunk when I glazed the works? no, then did I not wear my glasses when I mixed the glazes? no (I would not be able to make it to the studio without it), then what was it? My head was hurting. Then my dear friend told me that she loves them and she took them home. I am not sure what I would do if I don't have few good friends in my life. So encouraging!
I will start making more works again once I return from visiting my family in Taipei. It is not that bad after all (it took me few hours to clam down and came to this realization) and I can make them again after all.
The grass at the Central Park was so green, so beautiful. Spring in New York City is so wonderful.
