Ventetid - Wartezeit - time to wait

Mens jeg venter på at ovnen er kaldt nok for å åpnes ser jeg på noen videoer igjen...

Um mir die Wartezeit ein wenig zu verkürzen sehe ich mir mal wieder ein paar Videos an...

While waiting for the kiln to cool I'm watching some videos....

"To me the greatest thing is to live beauty in our daily life and to crowd every moment with things of beauty. It is then, and then only, that the art of the people as a whole is endowed with its richest significance. For its products are those made by a great many craftsmen for the mass of the people, and the moment this art declines the life of the nation is removed far away from beauty."-Soetsu Yanagi

This quote reminds me of something my oldest sometimes says to me when he brings something home (a special shaped stone, piece of wood or something else). When I ask him what I should do with that, he answers "just put it somewhere and let I look good" 

"The challenge is to do the thing you have to do because you're in love with it and can't do anything else. Not because you want to become famous or rich, but because you will be unhappy if you can't do it.”-Warren Mackenzie

Opprydding - Entrümpelung - clearing out

For en frisk start i det nye året har jeg ryddet og renovert verkstedet mitt en del. Jeg synes det er en stor forandring. ;) 

Først kommer FØR bildene.

Für einen frischen Start ins neue Jahr habe ich meine Werkstatt kräftig entrümpelt und ein wenig renoviert. Ich finde es ist ein Riesen Unterschied zu vorher. ;) 

Zuerst die VORHER Bilder.

--------

For a new start to the new year did I a major cleanup in my workshop. I did some renovations too, like painting the walls. I think it makes real difference, at least for me. ;)

First are the BEFORE pictures.

AFTER

 

Dette ser jeg når jeg er ferdig med å lage keramikk for dagen og går inn i huset igjen :)

Ikke så verst, også hvis det er bare grå, brun og litt grønn for tiden.... Gleder meg allerede på våren....

-------

Das ist sozusagen mein Nachhauseweg :)

Gar nicht so schlecht, auch wenn es jetzt grad nur grau, braun und ein klein wenig grün ist.... Freue mich schon jetzt auf den Frühling....

-------

This is my way home (from the basement in to the house) :) 

Not that bad even if it's just grey, brown and a little bit green... Looking forward for spring....

Og til slutt noe smått ut av ovnen :) 

------

Und zum Schluss noch ein paar Kleinigkeiten aus dem Ofen :)

Last but not least something small out of the kiln :) 

Tiger ;)

Gefährlich oder einfach nur müde?

After the storm

After the Storm

The storms may come And limbs may break;
Yet others bend Beneath the weight–
Of heavy rain And windy breeze…
A storm can mark The strongest trees.
Life sometimes deals With us this way;
In unseen trials We meet each day.
It’s not how much our bodies break
Or how much they may bend;
It’s Our Outlook In Our Own Life
That helps our spirits mend!

–Hilen Letiro
