“Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.”
-Anais Nin
Watching the potter demonstrate her skill at the NC State Fair last Friday has had me thinking about how much I miss the feel of clay between my fingers .. pottery offers this raw connection to the earth that I have yet to find in another artsy endeavor. I will find a way to work this back into my life.
Speaking of things I missed…
Can I just say that I am so, so very happy to see y’all jumping in on the project Susan Tuttle & I dubbed ‘Echo‘ ? It does my heart good, it feels wonderful to be connecting with y’all again. Besides, it is so fascinating to see how different people, view one theme, one prompt….how we all can end up somewhere different from the same starting point. I just can’t get enough of it! Hoping even more of you will share your views as well. If you haven’t, read all about it here.

Hi
I’m not quite sure how we pair up but I’d like to pair up with Michele Beschen’s idea of “Emerging – When the unexpected emerges but I’m not sure if I am getting the idea right. My photo is of a wheel being pulled from the sand…It was stuck and it is emerging from unexpectedly being stuck. Please let me know if I have the correct idea behind your project. I would love to be a part of it.
i’m so excited about this prompt! my photos here: http://a-little-birdie.blogspot.com/2009/10/emerging.html
I very much want to play! I have posted a favorite photo on my blog…and posted about Echo.
