I could have eaten some but I would have had to maneuver through the poison ivy to get to them… so alas I got a picture.

The poison Ivy has been THICK!

It’s the little things that make me smile.

Majestic.

Canoe views

Starting out this spur of the moment canoe/camping trip right!!!

Callosamia angulifera, the tuliptree silkmoth or giant silkmoth, is a moth of the family Saturniidae.

Sitting amongst the trees. Taking a break from the day to day. I should expect you will see more photos as such over the next week or so 😊

Got a fish eye lens for my phone… it’s not an app it’s a physical lens that I attach to my phone. So don’t be surprised when you see more photos like such. 😆

Find me on River Street for my last day in I’m here till 4

Last day of Artfields!!!!

Yesterday we had to drive up to Artfields because a balloon deflated 😬 we swapped in a new balloon. Then we took it as a opportunity to go to the magical topiary gardens of Mr Pearl Fryar if you haven’t been you are really missing out.

Ceramics is a long game art process. You make things, they dry, you fire them to bisque (makes them hard) then you add glaze then you fire them again and pray the kiln gods are kind. This picture shows in the glazing process. There insides have been coated in clear glaze the outside had the first dip then they get their second and in to the they go. I get to unload this baby today!! Wish me luck!

Every year at they not only host one of the best art competitions around but they also have a makers market where you can purchase spectacular things! Like some of the work my buddies over at are making! And you can see the progress my piece is making in the photo with a few of the full spectrum crew!

Easter is about to Drop here smash up this morning!!!! Took the opportunity to fill my with a bounty of candy filled eggs! Hoppy Bunny Time is about to commence!!!

Yesterday I played around with some new clay I got my clay covered little fingers on. I also finally got to use my nichrome wire …. What did I make….you ask? 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know jewelry, ornament, hell it could be a tile sample once I’m finished. What matters is I enjoyed making them. Today I’m going in to full blown casting mode! and are about to be in production!

bricks and more bricks! I am always on the look out for old bricks and one of my favorite things is to find fun sidewalk bricks didn’t disappoint! Not only did I walk over some pretty cool bricks. I also stumbled upon this building made of cinderblock bricks and what looks to be rejected chimney parts. It is a great example of using what’s around and I am smitten! is one of my things

This last week has been a wild and crazy flashback to the days. It was a solid week of geeking out on everything ceramic and visiting with friends I didn’t realize I missed as much as I did and now do again. Let’s do this again anytime we get a chance!!! I’m not crying your crying.
