And A Month Later...

This happened over the weekend.  This pot thinks it is a bat.  Or maybe not.  Maybe it started to collapse and I tried to save it by hanging it upside down in front of a fan.  Sometimes gravity and a little moving air is just what the doctor ordered.

Speaking of doctor, I had some minor foot surgery on Nov 13.  That's why it has been an entire month since I posted to this blog.  Surgery will severely cut into a person's ability to do fun stuff like pottery.

I did this for a while...

I was a good patient and did the whole stay off your feet and rest thing as long as I could.

Then after a week or so, I graduated to this...

At this point I was still wearing my "boot" but getting up and around a bit more.  If you put a plastic bag over your foot it doesn't matter if the glaze splashes out of the bucket.  I still wasn't up to throwing at this point, but glazing I could do.  (Note: I said that was not up to throwing....I did NOT say that I was throwing up.)

Not too shabby for someone who walks with a pronounced limp, right?  What?  You say limping has nothing to do with the ability to pour glaze over bisque ware?  You are right, but I'm still pleased with how these pieces turned out.

The vase on the left (with 2 colors), the red tray on the left, and the hors d'oeuvre plate (that's a holder for toothpicks in the middle of that plate) are available for purchase at Buffalo Creek Gallery.
