SOME THOUGHTS..........
First of all, I enjoy all of your blogs so much! and learn so much every day. I have been wondering about my list of bloggers, I only have a few listed, but if you go to Ron's blog or Sawdust & Dirt you can find most of the blogs that I like the most. It seems redundant to put them on mine as well, but I don't want anyone to feel that I am "dissing" them by not posting their blog. If you want me to, I will gladly, just let me know. Otherwise find some other great bloggers through Ron and Michael, that's how I found them.
Second, I was a bit disturbed by the Anderson Cooper comments on Michael's blog. This has been such a positive and supportive community of artists and I feel like I have new friends out there. It saddens me to see such negative energy come in especially with something that was so obviously a joke and a clever one at that. Too bad for that....
Third, I am going to join Ron for some self analysis here: I was a designer for the Charlotte Repertory Theater until we moved to Chapel Hill. I got to go to Clayworks in the morning and then to the theater at night, perfect schedule. I tried some theater here but my pottery head kept getting in the way, so I took this past year off to focus only on pottery. That was fine until we went to NY and stayed in the theater district and saw Spamalot. I started missing the theater really bad. Wouldn't you just know..... when we got home I had an email from Playmakers asking if I was interested in a summer position working on The Music Man.
Divine Intervention possibilities arise, right? Anyway, of course I said yes, and now I am trying to work out in my head how to have a split personality again, pottery/theater career. Can it work? I guess it will have to because I love doing both. Plus, I am really good at what I do in the theater, I have a lot of experience, and I can say with confidence that I am good at this.
So maybe I will just have to work in my studio in the mornings and the theater in the evenings, and see what happens................This is the first set I ever worked on, what an amazing cast and crew that was! Thanks to Michael Bush, fantastic director that you are!

Wow, now that was a post!!
Loved your photo's from New York and the one of your girl. A chic with a guitar is always a cool thing ( will I be saying that when both of mine are that age? )
Peace, Jen
Yep, you will be saying that! Wes started in Orchestra in Charlotte with the violin and I was thinking that was cool, until she picked up the guitar. The guys love it! She is now thinking about electric violins, hmmm......
Hi Tracey
That stage set looks amazing.
I have a namesake in the USA who is a theatre designer. He came to stay with me a couple of times and we made pots together. (see here and scroll down and look for a post called The Same Handle http://www.douglasfitch.co.uk/htmpages/blog2.htm)
He does work with Placido Domingo and the likes. He's also a crazy artist, a former puppeteer on the muppets and a really great guy. Pity he stole my name though.
Never give up the potting!
Hey Tracey, I bet getting back into the theater side of life will be good for you and maybe good in some ways for your pots. I have the problem that I think every decision I make is something that will be forever permanent. Of course that's not the case, things change all the time, and I can always choose something else.
That is an amazing set. We never go to the theater in Charlotte ,but should.
What a crazy comment on MK's blog about Anderson. Boy some people just don't get it do they?
Have a good day.
Yes, that person on MK's blog's deranged, I read some of the other stuff they'd been writing - what a bitter, unhappy person.
And Ron, yes, well said, nothing's forever - oh, except skintness
you go girl, sounds like a great recipe to me, slush in the morning, a song and dance in the evening and squish a bit of family in between, go on you can do it!!
