Slowly, I'm back at it. It's been a long road. First, here is dinner last evening. Grilled salmon, shrimp, and mushrooms... and my favorite kind of rice. Yum!
Last week I spent a couple days with my family. This is one of my nieces. How I love this girl! It was such a joy to be with everyone and Lily is quite the girl. She's 3 going on 5, at least. She helped me try out chairs at Target as I'm looking at buying inexpensive ones for my screened in porch. How I miss her--- and all and am looking forward to being back with them in 2 months. I've been reminded lately that life is short. Time with family is precious. Take it.
Here are the hyacinth bean plants that I posted pictures of earlier. I've replanted them next to a trellis. Hoping they grow and grow and grow! Thanks, Mom for teaching me about how to use trellises! :)
My studio is coming along. As you can see, the kiln still remain in the box. Hoping to get the garage rewired by the end of May. It's so expensive to create a studio. I keep telling myself that good things take time. The shelf that I bought from Sam's Club is so helpful! I love using it. Planning on spending some more time in the studio this weekend. Little by little it's taking shape. Lots of change- new clay, new place, new year.
This is the first bowl I made today- the first one in 6 mos. It's been a long road back; it just takes awhile to get back into throwing. I'm rusty! It's hard to be patient with myself in this. This is made with only 1 1/2 pounds of clay, but it's a start.
While I've been thinking about trying new forms, I think that for now more of the familiar is best. So, here's some more yunomis alongside one of my top five favorite ones. These yunomis will shrink, for sure in firing at least 12%.
That's all for now.

You studio looks great, you can't fire that kiln till you have enough work anyway. What kind of rice is that?
from the box- near east, the original kind, it's called.
