Day in Sonoma....

 Learned how this goat got down from the stump, and how to move up the wires in vineyard.  And more! 

Ducks in a Row....

Just had a midnight to 8 am stay in this hotel (en route), and didn't have time for a plunge. But wonder how fun it would have been to have them all floating around as swam.  Simple pleasure.

Porcelain Vase....

But it cracked in drying. Like working with it, but have to figure out behavior of the material in different states.

Crown 8 -- Ceramic / Clay

Used color in glazes this time instead of stones.  Kind of looks like artichokes up there, but Artichoke King was a mob underboss in the 1930s, so not going there with the title!

Sweet guy I picked up on long weekend....

Hike....

Early evening hike turned into night hike.  But got to hear the spotted owls.

Words to heed....

 And a little further up the way a jack-like buffer to the water.

Raw edges on Denim

Selvage edge as well as cut and secured with small line of stitches for slight unravel.

Animal Kingdom Crown -- Clay / Ceramics

Fired but not glazed yet. Deciding if simple or "real" animal colors. Plus, what kind of plant to put in the center to make it "wild" animal kingdom..and hide some of the inside work that was not so smooth!
