Like a rolling stone...

I'm just gonna say, intersession was nuts. Wheel throwing was pretty fuckin awesome. In another life, huh? Now that the spring session is coming up, I have to admit: I'm feeling more lost about what I want to do, make, create, who I am as an artist, what my style is....all of those things. More lost than ever. I am just so scared that I will let myself down....and that is how it happens right there, folks. I'm scared. But it's okay. I just decided, right now, while watching Bob Dylan on PBS that I CAN figure it out. And it doesn't matter if I don't live up to my own standards. In fact it's probably a good thing I can't, because I'd have to be some sort of robot-super-hero-clone to live up to my own expectations. And THAT would just be damn creepy.
I've actually been productive in the knitting sense. I knit some pocketbook slippers, a Tychus, some Vinnlands, finished Ludog's gloves, and started him some socks. AND I have begun a journey to the other side. I just this very night purchased a kickspindle and some roving. Oh shit son. Whether I feel good about school or not, I do know that I am going to be all up ons some spinning. Word.
