That is so amazing and cool that you developed your own firebox tiles. I can imagine how exciting it would be to NOT use them. Yikes. Stuff flying off the fire walls at light speed.
Sounds like you are going through a very interesting 'journey' in the creative realm involving self. Hope that continues and has a marvelous outcome. I suppose one does need to 'recalibrate' now and then. Reminds me of teaching, the constant 'give' can take everything you have. (And why I gave it up, and went back to the woods, years ago).
And OH how I miss the Cardinals. I only get to see them when traveling to Arkansas and other Eastern reaches, when visiting family. They are such a classic bird. Have a nice night.

Hahaha, yes pieces of non-fireproof tile could indeed pop off the walls of the fireplace! Hadn't ever quite imagined it quite as I did while reading your comment.
Yes I completely understand what you're saying about teaching taking everything you have, I felt that way about it too. Creativity has flowed abundantly and easily for me for many years now so it's ok with me to step back a little. In fact I'm liking the gentle existence for awhile! And the good news is that now I am actually starting to feel something stirring in me again and a desire to make stuff. I wish I had a potter's wheel still and have been craving making vessels and sitting behind whirring clay but they are very expensive. Wish I hadn't sold mine, but hmmmm....maybe I'll do a steemit fundraiser to get one!!
So where are you from originally @ddschteinn? And when did you give up teaching and what did you teach and to whom?
