Creativity is what grounds me. All I have to do to feel centered and focused is to sit down in my studio. Not everything comes out as I hope, but like a compass, doing anything with my hands and heart leads me in the right direction. The book "Flow" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, speaks to the state of mind when a person operates at peak efficiency. It's a mindfulness that many achieve through prayer and meditation. Creating always puts me in this frame of mind. It is with this theme in mind, that I created this lid. A metal cup is set into a domed clay base, The background of the clay is stamped with dye based ink cup's rim is covered with striping. The rim is a bull's-eye cane pattern, edged with millefiori clay leaves. After baking, a working, miniature compass was embedded in Magic Glos quick cure UV resin. Here's wishing that you always find your way through creativity!
