This and That
I just realized that I never posted a picture of my ribbon from the State Fair! Here it is - Cheese!
I had a fantastic weekend and hope that you did too. My friend Alison came for a sleep over on Saturday. We know each other from high school in Missouri, and now she lives in the Bay Area. Sunday we played with my friends/basically family, Joyce and Zoe. Joyce is an art teacher at a local high school. Every now and then we get together on a weekend and play in her ceramics lab. I took three semesters of ceramics in college and I just LOVE it.
Alison took a picture of me working on one of my pieces. This is my tallest bowl so far (taller = harder to make), and it felt great to pull it off. I have a ton of small handmade ice cream-sized bowls. Hopefully this one will be big enough to serve side dishes once it’s fired. A few months ago I got really inspired and made some stamps out of Sculpy. Here you can see me stamping some sakura petals on my bowl after taking it off of the wheel and letting it set up in the sun for a while.
I took some house related pictures tonight, but all of the inside ones turned out horribly. It was too dark by the time I got around to it. So I will leave you with this picture of Andy outside of our bedroom in our X-Chair hammock with our furry sons.
