gosh. valentine's day sure has it's supporters and opponents, doesn't it? seems like most folks feel pretty strongly, one way or the other, about valentine's day! love it, dislike it, feel joyful, feel sad. and the list goes on. holidays are like that, i think, for most folks.
i kinda feel like that's my favourite thing about valentine's day. a day, ideally, when it's okay to express our feelings in a healthy way - now if only we could celebrate that idea everyday!
this is one of the reasons that i just ADORE the brilliant ArtMind's fabulous new collection of clay vessels. for me, it's the loveliest repetition of a theme i've seen in a long while in the art world! 99 feelings. each fantastic and whole and expressive all on it's own. i just love this series, and just love the beautiful Artmind for crafting them! you can see the whole collection here on her lovely lovely flickr stream or follow her creative delights on her wonderful blog.
so to everyone out there...hope you can find a great way to express all of your feelings, in a healthy & artful way, on feb. 14, and every other day, too!

ReplyDeletehappy valentine's day, rikrak. the feelings series is amazing. thanks for introducing us to artmind...i feel grateful. :-)
ReplyDeletegreat post, Rikrak!
ReplyDeleteShe makes wonderful concept art!
I tried to learn whether those forms were actually fired or not.
Clay , in my opinion, is most beautiful in it's freshly constructed ,natural unfired state,..
I'm wondering whether they are fired or not. I really can't tell from her descriptions etc.
Wonderful to see and be inspired by.
