I haven't been updating much because I've been working in the studio every spare minute to get ready for my turn as the featured artist at the gallery where my work is. I just finished setting up all my artwork in the window and everybody tells me it looks great. Hopefully it will sell some jewelry and stuff.
doing the work was pretty challenging because I was fighting the limitations of my body, particularly at the end when I was trying to steal time anywhere to get the work finished. I found that I couldn't work the way I used to, where I would sit all day at the table dabbling in clay. Now I can only sit at the table for a few hours and then I have to lie down or at least move to an easy chair. If I wasn't using a special back chair (the kind you sort of kneel in) I wouldn't be able to do it at all. The back chair gives me lots of mobility from my hips up, so I can turn and reach things without getting up or straining my upper body.
As I've been working I've been gradually cleaning out and organizing my studio so it is a better place to work. I haven't really done much work in the studio in the last couple of years, so it is good to finally start getting use of the room for what we bought it for. (My studio is a FROG that we had to pay extra for...something my hubby reminds me of from time to time.
