I have a great group of Holiday Elves working for me this season at the “glitter gig.” They were very thoughtful & very “crafty” with their birthday “surprise” for me today… albeit one day early. Brownies and a very special sign made out of recycled cardboard, glittery scraps and snips of color-coding labels. Very funny. Very cute.
Happy Birthday! Not sure I believe it anymore when a ceramacist tells me his birthday, though: my ceramics professor at EKU would tell everyone his birthday was coming up AT LEAST once a semester to bring in more sweets to the studio! (I came to suspect later that his real birthday was in the summer but I never did find out the exact date…)
Thank you for your blog, by the way. As a relatively new reader it helps scratch some of the itch I still have for ceramics. It was a course I was afraid of taking and ended up loving so much that I might have considered changing my major if not for the extra sculpture and jewelry &metalsmithing classes it would have required. Now I miss it very much, but I don’t have the space OR money to set up my own ceramics studio and I am in art wilderness my corner of the United States–nothing at all going on! I enjoy seeing your works and that of other potters and my definition of a “plate” is seriously stretched every other day.
Also the sunset photos, just love those. I painted three mural sized cloudscapes (6×12 ft each) for my BFA show and I still haven’t grown tired of clouds!
