Out for the rest of the week!
I have no new photographs or projects to share with you at the moment other than the lovely photograph above that a gentleman sent to me of a vase that he had purchased from me last year filled with gorgeous zinnias from his garden. I loved the photograph and asked if I could share it on my blog – so here it is.
What am I up to this week? You may remember that I applied for a license to substitute teach in Colorado last year. Wouldn’t you know, I have a substitute assignment the entire first week of school here in Denver? Needless to say, I’ll be away from my studio for the week. I’m happy to report that I survived the first day, albeit somewhat tired to say the least. It’s quite a shocker to go from setting my own hours to working a set schedule and kids have a lot of energy!
On a side note, it looks like I will be selling some of my ceramic jewelry online at Asian iCandy – a retail site that features, you guessed it, Asian inspired clothing, art, accessories and jewelry.
I hope to peruse everyone’s blogs later this week… until then,

Great photo and the vase is lovely! Enjoy your subbing gig. I hated being what we now call a TOC (teacher on call) but sure loved the flexibility and not having to take it home at the end of the day!

So far so good Andrea! Though they did ask if I wanted a permanent gig as a paraprofessional – I said no I just want to work part time.
Thanks Diana!

Congrat’s on the online sales thing! Teaching is hard to do, I am sure you are great at it. Love the vase and the picture, so pretty! Love to you, sending high energy vibes your way.

Gosh, Cynthia — you’re in the Blackboard Jungle! Yikes!
What a serene photo. How nice to see your work in such a comfy spot.
Good luck with your new sales venue!

Wow, teaching is hard, Heather – but maybe it’s being a substitute that’s harder. New situations everyday, kids, and I don’t feel like I know what I’m doing etc. etc.
I like that, W.J. – “black board jungle”!
