sweet as...


 It's spring, I'm sneezing and the studio is buzzing again... loving the sunshine and life is good!!

So i'm prepping some work for the printed images and having a play with my new purchase the type stamps, you know i've been looking for these guys for years and the good ol internet search finally came up with these guys all the way from The States...woohoo!! so lots of animalia will be happening on these pieces and no doubt some glaze layering too ..i just can''t help myself really...







 

and some lovely copper fish slip trailing, also rather addictive.. i slipped every tray i had made on friday...hehehe.... and pugged 50 Kg of clay all ready to start big pot making and with a Public Holiday on Monday I'm pretty sure where i'll be spending it...

There's a big dish somewhere too, i think it's hiding on the drying shelves...hmmm must go in search of and hope it hasn't dried out too quickly, that's the thing in this lovely spring weather all of a sudden things dry out in a day..

Hmmm brilliant sunday afternoon, I might just do some gardening or oil the chairs that have dried out and look rather grey after the winter...that is after the soup's done, more curried pumpkin soup on the menu for lunch...mmm mmmm and congrats on the opening guys i've seen some of Linda's pics and Trace too keep em coming i'm sure there's some more blogger pieces to show too...ooh and i'm supposed to be doing that profile thingy that Cindy put me up for...I'll get to it...and what an opening Cindy had on friday night too !! check it out...and a super big cheers to Meredith the Champion of the Clay and Blogs show hope you had a great time and met some sweet people.. :))

  4. Hi Ang,
    Great to see read your blog, you seem to be all brimming with enthusiasm and enjoying what you are doing, and that is infectious!

    I've been doing some drawing today, up on a little hill overlooking Auckland. It has been nice scratching around on some paper with a pen, and good to be able to soak up a bit of North Island warmth at the same time. It has been really strange not getting over to NC after starting out on my journey there, but I have been so lucky with friends making me welcome here, and doing drawing again (after several years away from it) is a real bonus. Poor old body was rather knocked about by the flight, and I am still rather deaf, but, hey... the sun is shining! Thanks for your comments on my blog too, it was lovely to hear from you when I wasn't feeling the best. A real encouragement.
