I can't help it...

... I like swans :)



I'm going to have a table full of swans aren't I? Oh well.. :)

I actually broke the neck off this one this evening, so I shall have to attach another tomorrow. Ooops!

In other news:
I gave some of my pieces away that didn't sell last time. I'll never have an inventory at this rate! I don't know why I keep doing that. The recipients were very happy though :)

And my big shopping spree will have to wait a while (damn bills!) but I plan to get some more clay this week. I'm down to my last scraps, and recycling pieces as I go. Actually, that's not strictly true... I do have a freezer full of clay (it's not switched on, because that would be silly) but I can't remember what's in there... some crank... some terracotta... I'll have to sort it out. The terracotta was rescued for me from a school that was clearing out it's art department. I've never used it because not all glazes show up on it particularly well. I could make some terracotta vases though...

I love the candle option with your swan. Really pretty. I give away a lot of art too. I do it to keep my creative juices flowing and to bring smiles to the recipients. I think the vase idea is a good one! Go for it!

Hahaha, Kathy, I'd forgotten that I'd typed about the terracotta vases and I was thinking "Eh? What vase idea?" !! Thanks for reminding me!

I'm not really sure why I give my pieces away. For smiles I think :) And also because once I've made something I know how I want to improve it next time, which sort of makes that piece out of date. A hand made gift is a great way of making up for missing an anniversary too!!

you are getting so good Linda! wow! every time I visit I am amazed at your talent. I love the new swany and all the fetching turtles. I so wished we lived closer and I could give you some clay. I have recycle clay coming out my ears....

Thank you so much Leanne! I wish we lived nearer too :) I managed to get some clay but I am sooo behind with updating my blog! Have you seen my new Facebook page?
