trying again

i remember back in college

taking a pottery class.

though i loved the thought of it,

my hands couldn't make what i wanted.

could not get the clay centered on the wheel.

i never did seem to get the whole score and slip thing down.

my pieces would fall apart in the kiln.

i would look at another with envy,

her fairy was so life-like.

seems to me that 'she' could of winked at me

and i wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

her wings so delicate.

her face just on the verge of a smile.

'she' was gorgeous.

the maker humbled.

shy.

now years later i am taking an e-course.

one assignment-if we wanted to,

was to make a santos cage doll.
taught by jennifer rizzo

i was thinking 'no way'

don't need to be going down that road again.

but after watching the video...

i had a feeling...thoughts in my head

'go, give it try...what do you have to lose.'

so i did.

the history of santos dolls can be found here

i have learned that though i failed once...doesn't mean

that i shouldn't try again.

it could be fun the second time around.

or the third.

or even the twentieth
