Some Extra pretties and a big thanks!
Anyhoo, the photo above shows the next phase of some of the pieces I shared with you a few days ago. I just took them out of the kiln this morning. I love the colors and I can't wait to complete them! I hope everything works the way I want it to...we shall see.
The leaf pieces were another request. Leaves tend to be a bit of a cliche in the world of pottery. I think everyone and their neighbor has pressed some leaves into clay at one point or another. But they are pretty, so there! These leaves came from a tree in front of Collegetown Bagels in Ithaca, NY. I carried them around for hours. :)
I'll be heading down to Long Island bright and early in the morning. My family is in the process of moving my grandparents upstate to live with my mother. For the first time in my life they will be living near me and I truly look forward to that. But packing up their house... a house that was my magical escape place as a child... well, that is not so easy. For me at least. I don't know if anyone else is having such a hard time with it, but I am a sentimental girl...
I'll return on Tuesday. Until me meet again...

Drive safe and find some treasures...
enjoy your time in the house, take lots of pictures... it really is a hard thing when one has to leave a home, not just a house, behind... am happy you will have your family nearby though...
And the leaves might be consdered passe but I'm a sucker for anything nature based and I think they rock.
I would find it hard to pack the home I grew up in too, I'm a sifty for such things.
