In reading Mel's posting
on commissioned work (bowls!)
Last month I received my first commissioned order
A bowl I had on my shelves
exactly the same design
but change the liner to match the outside glaze
Took a month
Firing and kiln was different from the original
Still pretty but not the same
Take it in
BOTH bowls get broken
setting up for my first solo show
Oh gee whiz
E-mail him he has two less options
A pure headache
but millionaire's experience learning a lot

I don't think I could cope so positively
without Clayart's compassionate wisdom in others' realities
