Bowls and Bowls and Bowls

Hello again!  I took this pic on my iPhone as a gallery I'm working with wants a picture of me.  I kinda like it that it's not all light and that the light isn't all on me… life is full of mystery, isn't it?
It's been forever since I've blogged and once again I have no good reason for such.  I can tell you what has filled my days though.  Making bowls and making bowls and making bowls and….
adjusting to transition at work
beginning a new class at Duke (auditing)
reading!
running… running and running (it also helps my back and posture overall when I throw at the wheel).
And then there was Christmas and I was gone for almost two weeks.  It was good, but exhausting!
And tonight I'm home and just watched our President give his State of the Union address.  And now there's a snow day tomorrow.  I'm THRILLED about this.
I'll fire my bisque kiln and read and maybe go running in the snow?
It's been a week since I've gone running and I'm a bit stir crazy.
Am fighting a bad cold so that may not happen…

Above:  Bowls drying…
Below:  finished bowls, all of which headed to Christ Church, Charlotte's Good News Shop.
Hopefully sometime soon I can begin to make more forms.  First have to get some inventory!  If only there were more hours…

They want some more for Valentine's Day so tomorrow I'm doing a bisque firing with some- and this batch has quotes that are tailored for that day.  It is great timing for a firing because although the kiln doesn't give a lot of heat, the garage is 42 degrees now and will get just a bit warmer tomorrow.  :)
Quotes on bowls:
One quote is from Mary Oliver, one of my favorite poets!
"Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed."
Yes, I'm still here and although I don't post much--- (I do post more on my 'Amy Huacani Pottery' Facebook page)
I am blessed.
