I’ve been busy and haven’t been on the computer much, time to recap the first three days of my thing-a-day.

 Day 1: I spent about 3 hours in the ceramic studio and made 2 mugs, 2 bowls, and a pitcher. Also had a bunch of things that didn’t make it, I’m still getting re-acquainted with the wheel after being away for a month and a half over winter break.

Day 2: I made a pink sculptural peyote hairclip. I also made tofu in my fermented foods class.

Day 3 (today): I made a howlite bracelet using bead crochet.

Weekends are for working on the design for the new house, so here’s my second house project for Thing-a-Day. First a quilt, now a painted plate. As you’ll see, I’m working out the bird theme to get to the essence of the house.

As I did for the quilt, I first sketched the plate design. I then transferred it to the bisque plate and found my box of ceramics paints. I am NOT a painter and used the colors I had, so I don’t expect this to be a work of art. The intention is for it to be a stage in the process. I’ll glaze it before taking it to the ceramics studio for firing. Firing will change the look immensely.

Now back to watching the Super Bowl. Go Patriots!
