I Love Fridays

I really really really love Fridays since I started working with clay. Before that, Fridays were just another work day & I never spent time being actively 'artistic' - So Friday became Clay-Day & I've been learning & making amazing things...but most of all, I've been making gifts & experimenting with different clays & colouring / decorating methods etc

These hearts are made of porcelain & are items to experiment with different treatments with:

I plan on decorating them to match & then make a mobile or something out of them when they are done with their glaze firing.

I've made all sorts of other beautiful things, but cannot post pictures of them yet (they are being made for gifts & the recipients may not see them!!) ;)

I had a lovely drive past Long Beach, Kommetjie at midday after my Kommetjie pottery class. When the day is as beautiful as today is, I'm so pleased that this will be such a close beach! Pity the water is so cold.

My Friday...

This morning I saw Thaya from the Beatnik Bazaar's request for a blogger Friday documentery... So this was my day:

8am > morning routine including daily Barley Grass & lots of Fruit.
My lovely HUGE fruit bowl from Wonki Ware as of this morning:

I fulfilled a last minute client request & rushed off to my Friday pottery class in Kommetjie...

I popped in to visit my sister-in-law, Colleen, in Fish Hoek...got home at around 1.30pm to a beautiful sea...This was the view from my kitchen window at 2pm:

Geoff and I went for a surf at Muizenberg...followed by the harvesting our first olives off the tree at the shop (we counted 270!!) & I raided my basil patch...

I made a wonderful batch of basil pesto & mixed it into some tagliatelle with fresh avo on top for dinner...followed by packing & pottering in and around our studio :)

Will probably finish the day off with an episode of Pushing Daisies :)
