Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Because I didn’t have a direction during my first night of class, I made a bowl. One single bowl. In four hours, it was the only productive thing I did. When I confessed to my professor on my second night of class that I still didn’t know what I was going to do, she told me she had seen my bowl, and it was good. And that maybe I should work on being a potter for now.
So the pressure to come up with sculptural ideas is off. Whew. She encouraged me to work on my bowls and dishes, and to experiment with any ideas I get during the course of making bowls. With the pressure gone, I actually found something sculptural I want to try. Go figure. I’ll probably use my class time to work on my pottery, and work on the sculptural thing on my off days. For now.
Your site looks great. Love the flickr account. So bowls it is, cool I like bowl. You are going to do great. You always do. I have always thought your drawings were great. I think there are still a few at mom and dads house that I kept. You didn’t seem to have that problem as a kid.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
