An Unfinished Sentence or Is That Your Rexus?....Enough!

   What a "class." It reminded me of the days when I would see 3 movies in one day and then couldn't keep any of the plots straight. We all understand each other and I think that constitutes having our own language. The rules of this language require that you rely on the brain cells of fellow class members to complete your sentence. It's a new game of "Madlibs" every week. You start a sentence and everyone else tries to fill in the missing noun or verb that you need to complete your thought. This has nothing to do with the only picture I was able to take today. It just means I was trying to remember so hard that I forgot to take pictures. Never fear...more are coming from those not remembering at the time of thinking!

Happy Birthday, Heather!

What a great excuse to bring breakfast to class. Heather's birthday was a few weeks ago. We forced ourselves to enjoy the feast and enjoy the warm, calm weather. The raku kiln was going, pots were thrown and the question of "Does SIZE matter?" was brought into play. Just another Saturday in paradise.

The start of Donna's vessel


 Work it, Donna! It seems to be growing??!!



Does size matter???




Apparently. She threw another one!
