Punked

I put together these pendants and ring yesterday. I have had a lot on my plate lately with starting up a new class, getting ready for the reporting season and all the other commitments. I'm actually feeling quite overwhelmed by everything and quite apathetic, art wise. I really love my job but I do wish it was not so consuming. It would be nice to be able just to switch off. Must be the old age....

  5. Sam, I know that feeling of being overwhelmed. It is harder for you this year because you have only had the class for weeks so the reporting aspect is daunting. It is just one of those jobs that never finishes, there is always so mush to prepare and mark if you want to excel and I know that is what you are, an excellent teacher. Be kind to yourself and find some time to make divine pieces like these, it is a part of who you are too. ILY. xx

  6. I do understand what the "feeling consumed" means. I'm a nurse and it is getting more and more difficult to meet everyone's needs and expectations. Sometimes at the end of the day I feel frustrated and ask "what about me". But very next day I get up and do the same as so many days/years before: caring for those who need my care. And all of that with a cheerful smile and words of encouragement.
    BTW stunning pieces as usually.

  7. These are fabulous pieces Sam. I too share your feeling of pressure. I think maybe it's a sign of the times and not just age.
