August's Magical Musings....

"Fire II" bamboo bowl wall hanging, $200

It's mid-August, most of the summer's gone; school begins again in 11 days, and the weather's still hot, hazy and humid.

It's been an interesting summer for me and my work in many ways, with exciting beginnings, disappointing endings, and transitions of various kinds. Looking ahead, I'm preparing for our last show of the season in Charlotte next month, completing my wholesale order for the shop in Baltimore, working on new designs and new opportunites which have yet to present themselves.

Will it be teaching again? Participating in group shows? A retreat? A one-woman show? Volunteering? Organizing events? Something else?

I'm open to the possibilities.

That's the first step. Being watchful for them when they present themselves, then taking advantage of them...that's when the magic can begin.

I'm hopeful, open and watchful...waiting for the magical....

I'll let you know when it arrives.
