Recently, I hadn't been selling very much.That can send me into my head, where I tell myself stories without happy endings. Often a gallery will call or email about a sale in order for me to replace the item. Ceramic masks, decorated with yarn,feathers, or fur.
I came home to find a phone message.My large mask sold in Tlaquepaque, an intriguing gallery area here in Sedona. Could I bring in some replacements? Delicious to sell what I am proud of! Fortunately I had just finished two new, large clay pieces, each measuring about 14 " with lots of tall feathers. I was covered! I always like to have something already made to replace a sold item. Fill the space and avoid that panic feeling.
When I went to my computer a message appeared about a sale of, you guessed it, a mask. Wow, this was a nice way to start a Monday. On Tuesday afternoon came a call from Jerome about the sale of another miniature mask.I created this small piece, entitled " Fur Mask", to have for a replacement, just in case.
Three masks, three days. What are the odds? Mere coincidence? All I can figure is that it is some sort of swirling energy. I choose to call it magic.
Now I get to return to my clay studio and create, well of course, new ceramic masks!
congratulations, Victoria...you've really captured the essence of your subject, which people perceive and relate to!
