Second in Series -- Smiler in Clay

I think noise here perhaps too pig-like, will have to re-think over next day or so..wrapped so hopefully will keep itself changeable.

Getting Prepared for Wreath Making

(haaa....as I brought these to wreath making day, my brother pointed out that they were tile nips, not a wire cutting tool. My tool savvy needs some work!) 

Auntie Fail for Nutritious Breakfast

Note: The ice cream that went with the s'more crepe had already been consumed at this point. 

Breakfast....uga.  The older niece ordered the berry one...still with whipped cream and ice cream, but maybe a tad less sugar?!

Rubber Animals -- mid 1960s

  

    

Technology changes, but leaves a mark

Ok, so how long have they had it like this? Relatively small airport in LA area, but, really? How long has it looked like this?  Maybe it is already an art installation, and the "joke" is on me. 

Smiling Ceramics with optional Adornment

This hand built ceramic smile-r  is made for top changes in terms of adornment. Took the photo when sun going down, so better light would add some vibrancy to that topnotch.  Will play with others - knot-less netting, ribbons, etc.  See a series coming here, different expressions. The other hand built taught me how to make this guy faster and more perhaps shapely than would have had not put myself through the prior exercise. Again need to find glazes that I like -- more "organic" in fired result, less shiny. 

I remember that shop in Soho where I bought that feather "necklace" -- many many years ago.

He doesn't get to keep it -- is mine for adventures!

   

           

Hand built, mid range fire

Was experiment, and taught me something in building.  It will be an outdoor pot, as aesthetically not hitting my buttons, but there is something in there that taught me something for future.  Still need to find glazes I like..more natural, more blended to my mind when making the pot.
