This morning I started taking Yoga again! Used to take it years ago and loved it, but had to quit after surgery made it hard for me to stretch for a while. And then the problem became finding a time that didn't interfere with my pottery classes. This year I've done it! Pottery on MW and Yoga on TTh. Of course I always end up on the pottery wheel or in the studio 4 - 5 days a week (it's addictive) playing around with the clay in some way or other.
Last class we made Black Birds (need 400 of them - in all stages of flight - for a combined art project). Think they're going to have this display of a flock somewhere on the campus later in the year. After this we'll split off into our own individual projects. Haven't decided what I'm going to work on yet... but it'll definitely be 'on the wheel' as this is where I need the practice. Hand sculpturing is fun, but wheel work takes time. So I'm hoping to take the time this year to devote to it. Have only been at it for 2 years, so as the country and western song goes, "I'm not as good as I'm going to get, but I'm better than I used to be". The picture here was on a card DH gave me today that he found while waiting at the hospital for me to get some test results. It was funny AND it looks so much like our cat, Ghost... such a happy face.
And keeping this post on a light note, I'm going to add a simple household picture... nothing important just a little part of my life. This is one of my favorite cups. I like cups and saucers and have collected a few that I use for tea (or coffee). Perhaps some of you collect things that for whatever reason... make you happy... or have a story behind them?
