"To make art is to sing with the human voice. To do this, you must first learn that the only voice you need is the voice you already have." - "Art and Fear," David Bayless & Ted Orland

When I first founded Tête de Bulle, I wanted to create a community centered around bubbles, with fellow bubbleheads.

But life has a funny way of changing plans.

Last autumn, I enrolled in the UW Photography Certificate program. I did so to thinking it would help amplify my wine, food and travel storytelling.

Instead, the program opened a window to views beyond my usual rubrics. I am learning to story-tell with a new voice.

Consequently, I’ve slowly moved towards new horizon lines.

For example, I opened my TdB platform to interviews with other Substack creatives and thought leaders.

I also experimented with Substack Live, in addition to long-form interviews.

Ultimately, however, as the founder of this community, I need your input.

What resonates with me may not resonate with you.

To that end, I have one heartfelt ask:

Please take a moment to complete this brief poll, and share what resonates most with you, as a member of the TdB community:

NOTE: The first five people to complete the survey will receive a year-long complimentary subscription to Tête de Bulle.

Thanks for your ongoing interest and support of the TdB community— I look forward to hearing from you!

As always, please feel free to leave a comment below, and to share with others.

Cheers~

Lyn
