This is not a great picture, seeing that I took it in my car on the way to deliver it, but I absolutely love this piece and I did not want it to get away without being archived. This background is Brown with Cream breaking through randomly, and the cross and edging are done with a Blue hue. I have been back to making on a regular basis. The studio is up and going and life is great. I finally decided to let my pieces go to a store and I have been really pleased with the results. I went down to the coast several weekends ago and bought some new glazes to try. I am very pleased with some, ok with some, and cannot stand some, but it is a learning thing for me. All their samples were done on white clay which I very seldom use, so I have had to experiment on my clay. My family likes all the glazes I cannot stand, which means the trip was not a waste. I will use those glazes up on them.
Life is still hectic. I have made several trips lately though that have been great. I went with the youngest sons' Boy Scout troop to Chattanooga over the Labor Day holiday. Lots and lots of fun--camping, cave exploring and then a sleep over in the cave (NOPE not me, I was in the Holiday Inn Express down the road), canoeing down the Hiwasee (loved this), white water rafting down the Ocoee (loved this), tower climbing (yep I did it, but got off at the first level), and great campfires and lots of memories made. I talked earlier about the trip to the coast. I made this one with daughter, grandbaby, and my best friend and pottery companion. My aunt lives in Gulfport and that is where the pottery supply place is, so we made a weekend out of it. Good food, wonderful family time, and my aunt showed us lots of fun shops to visit. That trip will be made again soon. Oldest son doing fine. Got all his crop out and did good this year. Need to take a trip with him, but it would have to be to the woods somewhere to hunt, and I don't think I am going to be doing that anytime soon. I will just wait for his visits to eat or those neat phone calls I get from him sometimes that he just talks none stop while looking over the crops or just chillin. Still working with the doc 4 days a week, so you seen why this blog has not been updated much as I promised. SORRY!!!! One last thing to say before I leave you today--Angel Baby turns TWO tomorrow!!!! On my way to get her just one more thing--Ha Ha!! we will see if it is just one. I have been buying for months for this day.
Ya'll take care and be blessed. Life is a wonderful gift we have been given. Enjoy every moment and live it to the fullest. See ya soon!!!
