Integrating the Spirals: Fun mug art and art class debacle

Okay, I’m back with more fun mugs, if for no other reason than to get my spirits up after that debacle of an art class last night! Ha! I made a little video of it, so you can laugh! I’m laughing now… really! I don’t know why I made such a big deal within my own head about it last night. I think I was depressed. I could have pivoted more quickly but because I am now in “protection” mode regarding my back/shoulder/nerve down my arm, I am sensitive about all that rolling out of the clay, and how it COULD set my arm/shoulder back. Now, today it was only my back that was sore, thankfully! Imagine, being thankful for a sore back?!? I must be nuts.

As I wrote in part 1 – https://sheilamurrey.net/2026/05/14/integrating-the-spirals-honoring-family-connections-and-fun-mug-art/ here’s the rest of the digital mug art that my brother-in-law created (he specializes in creating 3D digital art graphics–these are not AI).

My sweet friend Linda (over at: https://creativeartworksblog.com ), loves fun mugs–so I found these to share, especially because she shares fun mug images over on her blog.

As for last night, I did have a good time with my daughter. True, we didn’t talk very much. Nor did we get a photo together. It must bother me more than I thought, that thing about not getting a photo together. Her boss, the art studio owner even came around and asked/took pictures of other participants. But I guess because I was doing art and trying to guard against overdoing it, I didn’t think to stop and say, YES (in order to get a photo of my daughter and me)! Ugh.

It feels like I sabotage myself sometimes. Duh. Ya think? (Keep scrolling to get to the video.)

Art class video

Here’s a short 6-minute video (that includes videos and images) from last night’s flower casting art class. My daughter treated me to this class as part of my Mother’s Day (she also made me a multifaceted fused glass turtle sun catcher). You’ll hear her talking me through part of the clay rolling process.

Here’s the link for that: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras And if you want to see Gina and get to know her a bit first, before you commit to a ticket, you can check out her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GinaVirginiaCasella

Our NEW YouTube channel for showcasing Richard’s original songs is doing great! We’ve got more than 50 subscribers now and I’m aiming to have 500 soon… hey, a girl can HOPE! Come on now… hehe!

Our NEW music radio show: Unsolicited Radio

Announcing our new music radio show, “Unsolicited Radio”!

We’ve put a list of our original songs together in a format that marries the songs with some of Richard’s humorous (quirky, wacky, zany) ads in between a few songs to break it up! Don’t worry, the ads are for fictitious items. We’re not selling anything, yet, by doing these radio shows (other than the songs). It’s our way to help get the songs out to more people, and perhaps, even the “right” people, such as filmmakers, TV show producers, sound engineers, up and coming musical artists who are looking for original songs to sing/play, etc. We’ve never sought the limelight to be performers, simply songwriters.

I hope you’ll subscribe to our new channel and help us go viral! It’s FREE! And it means the world to us to get our 1,434 original songs out into the world! Thank you ALL so much! I’m excited about this!! Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/@Unsolicited_Radio

Our FIRST livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/DqyE9js0Fnc?si=WB-9a61B9Srefk0l

Yes, I had to do multiple livestreams on that first day, and I explain why at the beginning of each. Richard wants me to delete a couple of them but I don’t want to lose even 2 views! Ha!

I posted our second show yesterday and didn’t livestream it because of what happened at the end of the last livestream on 3-14-2026. Ugh. I know copyright protections are in place to protect us, but it’s OUR original music and YouTube didn’t even tell me what the issue was! I didn’t know they’d stop a livestream! And yes, they did send me an email for the FIVE copyright issues on the second show, but they still let the video play (isn’t that weird? Almost like they KNOW we own the copyright, but they’re showing they are doing their due diligence–or something). Ugh ((I think I’m just peeved a bit about everything right now. Amazon with the book printing. YouTube with the copyright stuff. My art cast not turning out properly. And just before writing this, my DAR Zoom never happened because they got the date wrong on it, even though I notified them ASAP that the date was wrong when they sent the email invite! I don’t know. Maybe it’s me. I screw up too. I gotta chill out.))

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)
