Wow, this turned out great. Really like the colors and the large black panther. I have a cat named Pantera, after that very same feline, just in case you were wondering ( :
So nice you can re-fire these. I like that attitude, as long as it's for art, more can be added in hotfire do-over's. And so nice to have @greyhawk to bounce art-life off of. SO very valuable in so many realms, and the ability to stay at least a BIT grounded in these processes. Lets face it, being an artist is sure a roller coaster ride. I've really had that driven home even more now on this site. How fast your psyche changes, in even a day. Why is it creativity makes us a sensitive bunch? Suppose it's because you put so much of self into what is being made.
Great work on the collaboration, I really enjoy this 'telephone' idea. Creativity to the max. Hope you have a nice, crack-free clay day.
Glad you like the finished piece :-) and what a great name for a cat!
It REALLY is amazing to have a creative partner, an equal, a peer, a challenger who's also so much more. I'm very grateful for my good fortune.
I tend to think that sensitivity is often (not always though) part and parcel of creativity. I know that I have strange needs for simplicity and quiet and time to myself that my friends and family don't seem to require. I used to fight this within myself but now I accept it and do my best to honor it.
And you are so right about how quickly the psyche changes! Hour to hour sometimes...and I see this with everyone, not just creatives. Must be the nature of being human in our times, after all the world is changing at an unprecedented speed these days!
And once again, I'm chuckling reading your comment - a crack-free-clay day!! I had one thankfully and hope you do too!
It is so very nice to have someone to bounce around and off-of...all your ideas, hopes, fears and all the rest of the bailiwick that goes along with the artistic world. I seem to have the double whammy in that regard. Very, almost overly sensitive at times, combined with some part of a foot into creativity. Though certainly not at a scale with your works, or other's on here. And no one but a Steemit audience to try to please. Can't imagine it with the added pressures of being a paid artist.
But I get that double dose, which does change often, as you say. I agree, sometime hourly. I like your discussion about the events of the world of today. I'm sure that is a HUGE part, that I hadn't really put into terms with the creative side of things. Yet is is so important. Decisions made on high that affect how our lives may go, with NO chance for a change or having any effect on our part, as we have no input they could care at all about. Kind of watching the boat get holes poked in the bottom, and hoping it just keeps on floating down the river. Too many idiots with sharp stick for my inflatable...
Well, I've rambled on here long enough. I hope your night is a good one, and tomorrow is productive and fun. Keep on keepin' on, and smiling while you do.
