Even if the glue dots are quicker, you should have someone else do it, to free up your creative time.

As to brand identity, I think you are making progress with the butterfly logo, etc. The hard part is shaping the product line to tell a coherent story.

It seems to me there are two issues here, though they affect one another of course. The first is what look you would like for your product line, a brand identity to use the current buzzword. The second is how to achieve it leaving you maximum time to do the creative work which only you can do. Rather than spending two days sewing buttons onto cards yourself, could you train a local young person who needs pin money to do it? That would give you backtwo production days at bench or kiln. Any of these small tasks that do not rely exclusively on your talent as a ceramicist should be handed off, I think.

As to the look you want, I cannot help because that will be unique to your style. Perhaps, though, if you do not feel hindered by tthe idea of how to execute the look, you will more easily decide what it is.

Hope is helps,
