My story, shortish version:

In spring 2012 I graduated from business college where I went couple years after finishing high school. After graduating I was working few years for different employers in different office tasks...

Now I'm at the point where I'm really trying to figure it out what I should do next - or actually what I WANT TO do next.

I never really thought about it like that before. I've always kinda done what I thought I should do - never mind if I truly care for it very much. So I chose my education mainly based on the idea of what I thought would most likely to pay my bills in future, simple as that. It seemed to me like a clever and responsible approach.

These days I've changed my point of view and turned the whole thing around: I SHOULD do what I WANT TO do, just what makes me happy and brings me joy. Life really is too short for anything else, it is.

So now just taking the time off to figure out my next move meanwhile doing those things I feel passionate about - never mind if doing these will now or EVER bring me money.

My latest obsession is in ceramic works. These days I'm happy to use my last pennies on community college courses. There I get to learn more and more about the craft, meet other people in love with it as well and create some new cool stuff. There I absorb in new techniques, ideas and inspirations, and time just flies when I'm doing something I actually LOVE doing!

At the ceramic courses I've already gotten known as being the one who puts most time and effort into her works being ridiculously meticulous and working for hours with small details to get it right. People often tell me they admire my patience to work the way I do - I admire them for actually getting something done! LOL

I do work with clay at home too sometimes, and man it is MESSY! It has gotten me dreaming about my own dedicated workspace even more. As I still lack that own dedicated workspace with special owen for clayworks I treat my withdrawal symptoms at home using other materials such as polymer clay and plaster.

What comes to art, I do what I do for I simply enjoy doing it. I love using my imagination, I love creating and doing with my hands, I love trying out new things and then seeing myself getting better and better at them. As corny as it sounds I do all my art works with love pouring my heart out to each piece. Is it profitable? Does it pay off? I think doing things we love to do, things that makes us happy, it ALWAYS pays off in itself.

As I tend to be constantly creating something I also DO SELL MY WORK occationally and on a small scale. You can follow me and my creations on Facebook @juicylittletangerine.

AND ABOUT COMISSIONS:
there's not yet very much to see and you probably won't have the chance to fall in love with my work... However if you do happen to see someday something you would like to have in my deviations, please do tell me for I am probably happy and willing to sell it for you (we can discuss about the price) or make another one just like that! So I am ALWAYS always always open for commissions and it never hurts to ask. I promise, I won't bite.
