Reading... writing & mud pies...


www.potterboy.com  books and pottery..
Ben Behunin a good friend of mine makes mud-pies and writes books among other things going on in his creative life...

Me i  read each day... and now try to regroup my creative life since retirement is upon me...
it's like trying to find a new new "job" after working for the last fifty years...

Reading is how i feed myself each and every day... scriptures first think every morning...
news, good & bad, then books, i have a list of six at this time, and at the rate i read that could be for the next year... and at present as i said i am trying to get the creative juices running first then flowing, again. i have always put my creative energy into my work, ya i got caught in the i got to have $$$ trap, and i did not have much faith and hope in the full time creative avenue thing...
Then Ben comes along with in my case a book on what to do with the rest of my life...
this type of read for me it's best to know who's writing, ya know background and stuff... Ben i know personally so he is that person for me, he makes me think and ponder about things and become opinionated if you will for or against what he has to say balanced against what i read each day and what i know to be truth.

Ben's book my scratchings and one of his mugs...

Check out Ben's web site if you ave an interest or need for some good reading and some great pottery, he has eight books, this being his latest, and they are a great reads... and  lots of pottery... 
Enjoy... if you please.
