Puzzles and Life

When I learned to tile, and did my showroom floor, I felt it was intuitive and natural, and like a puzzle. Then, working on the Tempe Project, I *loved* putting the tile panels together in their proper layout and my boss, an anal retentive photography artist, was happy that I was able to put them together, because even with a paper tracing of the layout, and the painting and texture on the tiles making it obvious, she just didn't have the knack for it that I did. My puzzle at the moment is how to make what I do pay more money...and how to juggle what money I do have creatively. Also, how to play the court game.
