It's been awhile again since I've posted. Oh well.
Lots has happened.
My beloved abuela (grandmother) who lived in Bolivia passed a couple weeks ago.
Spent 5 days or so with family, just being together.
Still adjusting to work and commuting to it.
Being a priest is exhausting.
Oh, and the warmer weather hasn't helped.
And now, today is my birthday so I just wanted to be at the wheel a bit.
Made these today.
The forms just seemed to come.
Making sure they're the thickness I want so only the best ones are saved.
No plans as to what to make- the ones above will be small tumblers.
Simple, gentle forms.
These bowls are the forms that emerged.
I need to make mugs next. Need to practice lots on the handles.
Am working on finding forms in each style that I like and getting them the shape I want.
These two forms are to stay for awhile.
Hoping to spend more time in the studio in the weeks to come!
Oh, and I went to the Potters Invitational in Charlotte and LOVED seeing all the pottery and friends there. That will be my next post.
Thanks for reading and for your comments.

Regrets on the loss of your abuela. Death of a loved one is difficult no matter the age or the infirmity.
And a happy birthday to you.....so nice that you got to spend it the way you wished.
Happy week end!
Good to have you posting again on your blog, but I am sorry to read that your abuela died. Kind thoughts to you and your family.
Happy birthday! I am glad that you were able to spend some time on the wheel. Being able to fashion something out of clay can feel so good sometimes, and it is wonderful being able to lose one's self in the process, and to watch a lump of clay turn into something beautiful with a life of its own! Hugs, P
Very sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmother. Sometimes I wonder about the strain put on priests/ministers. You take care of others so much. Take care of yourself, too.
Dear Dear Amy, I can't imagine taking on the trials and tribulations of all the others you come into contact with; then all of a sudden dealing with your own trials. I am so sorry about your abuela, grandmother, having read your blog for so long and knowing you I can only imagine the depths of your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sorry for your loss, I feel ya, we lost our dog last week and losing a loved one is the hardest hardest thing. But on a brighter note, happy birthday, we are close, my birthday is this Monday!
My husbands dad is a minister, and I swear it is the hardest job on the planet, definitely a calling!
Best wishes and a big hug to you

Happiest birthday to you.
I mourn your loss, but keep her alive in your heart, laugh, cry and remember.
thanks all. Here's hoping for an incredibly peaceful and joyful new year ahead. Take care everyone!
