S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y!

It's been a great Saturday! We had rain, which we still need badly, though I hope it didn't hurt the turnout for the Circle of Eight Spring Sale today. At Clayworks, I spent a LOT of time with the cheese slicer. (This technique is going to take some practice. ) I threw 3 cylinders, and kept the only one I could live with. Behind it is one of the pinch pots, fresh from the bisque kiln.



There was time left to work on the so-so bowl. It looked like this when I put it on my shelf on Thursday night.



Today, it underwent some changes. This time I wanted to combine some scraffito with the usual painting. Some of the parietal art in the French caves incorporate both carving and pigments. What I'll do on the backside of this is a mystery to me. I'm not sure if I should do one more animal, two or none at all. I brought the bowl home with me in case inspiration comes calling tomorrow.



We ended the day having dinner with friends and catching "Wicked" at Ovens Auditorium. Tickets are next to impossible to come by and tonight I saw why. The show is brilliant...a must-see for any "Wizard of Oz" fan. Now that it's officially Sunday morning, it's time to feed the cats and catch some dream time. I hope I don't dream about cheese-slicers.
