Necessity must now drive me to start selling my work, concentrating on making as many successful pieces as I can, which will mean making some of the same work in different glazes or slip decoration. I also must spend time behind the scenes ming a portfolio, approaching shops to hopefully carry my work, entering shows, working on my booth set up, so I can start selling work. So I plan to look back on my previous work and concentrate on making the more successful pieces in order to recoup some of my costs.<br /><br />I also think if I wasn't so experimental and worked to perfect only one clay and a few pieces I might be further ahead right now. But I can't go back only forward so that's what I am doing. I am hoping all my experiments will somehow pay off in my future work.<br /><br />Anyone who can don a welding suit, cutting torch, plasma cutter and make the beautiful work you do is so much braver than I am and that you are Cindy. And I think you are working smarter which in the long run is what is necessary to be a succesful artist in today's world. Concentrating on what you are good at and letting the tangents fall by the wayside.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.com
