End of a three day weekend. I dropped off the pottery at Wilderbee's on Saturday. Eric and Casey seemed happy to see me. Last time I was there was in October. They also seemed surprised that I was able to do so much pottery in one week. It's easy to do. One simply has to commit one's self to it.
Today was Memorial Day. I had the day off, but Bernadette had to work. We don't mind, really. She was off Saturday and Sunday and we spent the weekend together. For me, today was a day to kick back, relax, and have a BBQ. So what did I do with my day off?
Smoked some ribs.
Made potato salad, baked beans and corn on the cob.
I planted up a few bonsai. Not as many as I would have liked, but I'm short on pots. I'm currently working to rectify this situation.
I did a third one using one of the hens and chicks I bought at the Flea Market. You've seen one kusamono, you've seen them all. No pictures there. But I did clean up a few bonsai while I was at it.
I waited to eat until after Bernadette came home from work. After dinner I mowed the lawn. I then decided to make some pottery. Inspired by the sheer number of small pots I was able to do last week, I've challenged myself to do 15 medium pots this week.
I was able to do these 3 pots with some clay that was starting to dry out.
The clay was almost leather hard and difficult to work. But I know how to work clay that is past it's prime. I have fresh clay once I finish the last bit of old clay. I'll likely do more than just 15 this week. I just need to commit myself to the craft room.
