current reminders:
you must not shy away from the bernini- and use snails, not bees.
you must time your oxygen properly and use all the steel
you must make at least one 'huggable' piece, the anchor, be it a wheelbarrow or pine cone.
(because they're the hardest)
p.s. when i refer to a 'huggable' piece, i do so with no derision, total sincerity and expert experience. every artist should strive for one piece in a bunch, that someone would want to wrap in their arms and take home.
