   My humble blog has just been linked by PolymerClayNotes - as one might expect, a site specializing in things polymer clayish, but also highlighting arts of other media. You should go there right now and have a look around. You are bound to find something to make you want to get up and create something. Thank you, Susan, for sending a little attention my way.

   The attention serves also to remind me that I haven’t posted here in a while, an embarassingly long while. My apologies for that. I have been folding, I assure you. I have in fact been experimenting with some new techniques that have been slow to bear fruit, but nonetheless will not let me go. I can be frustratingly single-minded that way. It’s entirely possibly that when I’ve finally finished something, it will succeed only in eliciting an unequivocal “meh…” but until I have a solution of some kind, good or bad, I can’t let it go.

But the purpose of this blog was to chronicle my work, and I should be doing that. So I promise to post soon about what I’ve been doing, and you can judge for yourself. If nothing else, my struggles may illuminate someone else’s. Possibly give some ideas, who knows. I hope so.
