It’s Sunday

I made it to my pottery class and am glad i did. I made a 9lb bowl it’s huge! I love it and can’t wait until my next class so I can trim it. I also trimmed two bowls and a vase today, gosh I love trimming! I completely lose my self in thought; I go blind and deaf to anything else happening around me! I swear I could trim a pot to nothing! I think I just might try that one day just for the sheer enjoyment of it, I’m interested to see how long it would take, I guess it would depend on the size of the pot when I started hehe. Sorry I forgot my camera again (I annoy me sometimes) so again no pictures of my new stuff. . . but

Watch this!



look at the way this guy takes it off the hump!




***UPDATE***
About that 9lb bowl . . . I trimmed it to nothing . . . not AT ALL intentionally though (big pout)

I’ve been playing

With marbling clay and I LOVE it!!! I will defiantly have to do more. This bowl was made with white clay and brown clay gently wedged together then thrown, the pretty swirls just happened!!! I finished it off with a clear glaze to make it shiny. :)

Ok, so I changed my blog

I originally called it Crafty Jo cause I thought I might talk about all the crafts I enjoy (there are a few) but it seems that right now my mind is focussed on potting so I have changed my blog to focus on only that . . .
