ANOTHER LIL DEMO

It really makes my heart happy 

when I actually finish some art piece that I've started for my students.

This thrown pot was made two years ago as a demo for my beginning clay kids.

I'm crazy about surface design,

 so I grabbed a bunch of stamps and cylinder rolls and went to town

stamping the heck out of this pot.

When I had finished I felt it looked a bit tribal 

and knew I'd probably want to dangle something from the side,

so I pierced a couple of holes along the shoulder.

I stained the outside with Red Iron Oxide 

and glazed the inside with our beautiful black glaze,

then took it home to my studio to see what I could find for the dangle.

This sweet little clay bird, 

which I think came from Mexico on a colleague's necklace that she donated, 

seemed the perfect compliment to the pot,

along with a piece of leather and a couple of brass and silver beads.

The only downside is I can't remember what I did with the darn thing.

This getting old thing really sucks Eunice!

Then today I went for a doctor's appt. to check my hearing 

and the nurse told me to expect a call from the doc with the results.

Seems I'm losing my hearing in my left ear.

What a revolting development!

Well at least I can still see with my trifocals,

although I do practice knitting with my eyes closed,

just in case.
