2017-03-25 - Saturday - Pots and ferns
Saturday I went to Clayworks where I made some mug bodies and stretched out the handsquatch pot a bit further.
When I came home I cut the grass and inspected the flower beds. I found the fiddle heads unfolding on the Christmas ferns. I love seeing the fiddle heads come up.

2017-03-23 - Thursday - Ramen and pots
Thursday I met Herb and Ju-Ian at Futobuta for some ramen. The food is good there and the bonus is that the ramen bowls are made by William Baker.
In the evening I went to Clayworks where I slipped the snorkel pot and made a new handsquatch pot.

2017-03-16 - Thursday - Clay
Thursday was all about clay.
A bunch of us from Clayworks went to lunch and afterwards went to Herb Cohen's house to see his art collection. It was quite a collection to tour.
Later that evening at Clayworks Ju-Ian showed me the clay portrait of me that she's been working on. I think she's captured me pretty well.
Look at the second photo, not the first. I included the first one to show how flat the piece looks lying down. As soon as you stand it up and the light creates the natural shadows of a face it looks much more realistic.
Later still, I carved the base of the snorkel pot and finished the abstract piece I was working on.

| Lying down --flat. |

| Upright, much more natural. |

2017-03-13 - Monday - Pirates and crystals
Monday I stopped by Carolina Clay Connection to pick up some glaze materials and noticed this skull and crossbones flag on the other street. I asked inside, but nobody knew why it was there. I never did find out what it was about.
Going through some old buckets of glaze in the co-op I found this small bucket of Malcolm's Shino and was delighted to find salt crystals growing around the rim. Amazing stuff, there. To think they just grow there with no prodding is so cool.
It's the little things. It always is, if you're paying attention.
