How it all started?

This week I've been thinking about mugs.
Or actually, about sculptures.

And about time.

About how sometimes the things we dream about just need a little more of it.

Seven years ago, when I first started working with clay, all I wanted to create were female sculptures.
And here is the photo of the very first sculpture I ever made.

After a few months of creating sculptures, I couldn't sell any. (looking back now, I think I was just really impatient)
But back then, all I could think about was finding another way to keep creating and start selling my work.

So I started making something more functional instead, but I still wanted to hold on to the original idea of celebrating the female body and creating something that would bring a little more love and positive energy around it.

That's how my mugs with breasts were born.

Looking back now, I'm so grateful they were.

Those mugs have brought me so much joy. They've found homes all over the world, introduced me to incredible people, and allowed me to build this little business and life around clay.

But somewhere in the back of my mind, the sculptures never really left...

And here I am, seven years later, creating the female sculpture again...

And what happened seven years later?

I made two beautiful goddesses.

One didn’t even get the chance to be uploaded to my webshop because a wonderful woman from Sweden ordered it right after I shared it on Instagram stories.

The other one was on my webshop for just one hour before it found a new home in Germany 🤎

I think this reminded me that sometimes our dreams don't happen when we expect them to. Sometimes they need more time.

Time for us to grow, for our work to evolve, and for the right people to find us.

If there's something you've been dreaming about, don't give up on it just because it isn't happening yet.

Maybe time is the only thing that's missing.
