Pottery Pictures

A few weeks ago I went to the ceramics studio with my sister and painted a sugar bowl.  I think it turned out fabulous, if I do say so myself.

And as I often do, I gave this one away to a friend.

Aloha Friday

It's Aloha Friday over at An Island Life today. This is the first time I've ever participated, but it's always fun to find a new blog and see what everyone in blogland is up to.

This one is very simple. All I have to do is ask any random question, and if you'd be so kind, would you please answer by leaving a comment here... at the end of this post? My question is:

What is your favorite hobby?

My answer is painting pottery. Months ago my sister introduced me to a ceramics studio over in the next town, and I was hooked. There is something therapeutic about coming up with a design and then painting it on that plain, unfinished piece of pottery. I would never consider myself to be artistic, but there's something about creating on pottery that gets those "juices" flowing. When you return to pick it up a week later, after it's been fired in the kiln, you see this amazing piece of art that you created. It's so fun!

I highly recommend this hobby. If you'd like to find a studio in your area, they have them all over the country. Check out this link to find one.

My Latest Pottery Design

Hey, I just got my latest pottery creation. This is a pink, speckled bowl that I am going to keep on my dining room table for fruit. I love the way it turned out! I wanted to share it because people are always asking what I'm making. So here it is!

Another Pottery Blog

I just found out from Sherry that my pottery is already fired and ready to be picked up. I can't believe it because you're always supposed to give them a week. It's just been days. Sherry is picking it up for me, and I can't wait to see how it turned out. I hope it's as good as how I pictured it in my mind. I'll be sure to post a pic when I get it. I know you're all anxious to see it. :)

Pottery Night

Here's just one picture of our girls' night out. Me and Lisa. She is so nuts! Somehow we always end up sitting next to each other.

I'll be making a photo album of all my pics on Facebook later. Tonight maybe?

Back from a Girls' Night Out

We had a good time tonight, me and the "girls". We went to Chili's, and I ordered the Boneless Shanghai Wings. Mmmmm, are they good! My sister bought my dinner, too, so they were especially good. LOL!

We headed to Pottery Schmottery afterwards and met up with some more friends. As much fun as it is to work on your own project, I love looking at what everyone else is creating. People have the best creativity! I wonder how they come up with their ideas. Very cool! If I have time tomorrow, I will post pictures. (I know Mary is looking forward to that.)
