Just out of firing...

my latest creation

inspired by where I live 

   and by the William Morris quote,

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”

It measures 10" X 3" and is replacing my old colander 

that is seriously dented and rather unattractive.

Creative fun, using barbecue skewers, chopsticks and drinking straws 
to create the holes in the clay form before firing!


And another one created to donate to this worthy cause
World Hunger Bowl

Coastal Design Towels

I couldn't resist the purchase.

It felt like I stepped back in time, 

and had found a page pulled from a children's coloring book.

I had to have it!

Of course anyone who knows me

knows it is one of my favorite subject matters.

 I could hardly wait to get home and pull out the fabric paints

 and fill in the lines with color.

I think the fish needs a little touch up before 

I gift it to a friend who stopped by today and admired it.

It's always good to take time to play!
