| 07/03/2008: "38 flutes"
|
We're getting down to the wire for the latest manic production run, and it appears that around 38 new flutes will be finished at the usual last minute. Unfortunately most of these will be gone -- dust in the wind, dude -- in about ten days, and then what? Well, in the words of Jackson Browne, you get up and do it again.
Seriously, it's scary how much work I can do in a short time when whipped into a frenzy of craft-show anticipation. I've always struggled to find a middle ground between these crazed phases and more relaxed periods without a pressing deadline: although I certainly *work* when not pressured, it generally veers into more languidly experimental territory, without much finished and marketable product emerging.
I do have a tentative plan to work more seasonally in the future: to do most of the unpleasantly grimy hole grinding from summer into fall, entering wintertime with a large stock of half-completed flutes that can be finished at a relatively sedate pace over the dimmer low-energy months. Perhaps that will work!
Anyway, more tomorrow. Happy stoopid explosions day! --r.
