Victoria has a vision and the vision involves significantly less alarm clock than her current situation allows. Retirement is the destination… warm, unhurried, gloriously unscheduled … and it is also, unfortunately, a considerable distance away on the map. The dream board is helping. It is specific and optimistic and lives somewhere she can see it on the hard days, which is doing its job. The girls trip is also helping… something on the calendar, something to look forward to, something that is not the grind. Victoria is not counting down exactly. She is just… very aware of the number.

Small Scary Monster: 8.5" x 3.75" x 2.75"

gloss glaze finish, gold luster

One of a kind scary monster sculpture made with cone 6 white stoneware clay. Scary monsters are made from slabs of clay that are pushed and manipulated into their monster shapes. They are all fired in a kiln for 3 firings (thats 3 trips into the abyss of 2000+ degrees) depending on the final finish.
