Some Pots and Tiles

 Here are a few of the tiles and some pots from the kiln.
All looks good.
The sheep on the bottom would not load any other way but sideways.
You will just have to turn your device on it's side.
It's been that kind of week.
Tomorrow will be my day to get hangers on everything.

That's all for now!

Tiles

I have worked on a number of tiles this summer and now is the time to get those ready to hang.
I use a simple d-ring on the back of the 3x6 it works great to make them ready to hang.
I find that most people prefer having something ready to go.
All they will need to do is pick a spot, put in a nail or screw and hang.

I like to let them sit at least 24 hours for the glue and d-ring to set up.

I already have 2 more round of tiles rolled to add to these.
This round has more of the 6x6 and a few larger ones as well.
The hard part is decided what to put on them.
Sometimes I just enjoy letting myself draw all over the tile and go for it.
Other times I hold myself to things I think I need to make.

Here is one of the tiles that I played with last round.
Of, course I see things I might change on the next round.
I have been watching the dragonflies dart all over the pond they are really busy right now.
I have seen many butterflies making their rounds through the yard as well.
I planted some flowers just for them to enjoy, I am watching to see if they lay a few eggs here and there.

Keep your eye out for those sheep, they are always getting out.
Sh, don't tell the farmer......
Stay cool out there, it's hot.

Living with Mr. Doubt

Do you wake up some days only to doubt every thought in your head?
There are days that we all breeze through life, like a skater on ice. Then there are other days that it is all you can do to take care of the task at hand.
Those are the days that Mr. Doubt comes to call.
He is great at sitting on your shoulder and whispering sweet nothings in your ear. He loves to start with, "what are you doing?" and then go on to,"where are you going with this?' Oh, buddy, get off my shoulder and go bug some other poor soul.

I think we all have these times no matter what you are doing as a living where you feel like an imposter in your own skin.
There are days where it's all good and days where a good hide under the covers is what you need.
We love what we are doing, but there are days that we wonder if.....wonder if we should have taken a different path, a better path to a higher life style. I do wonder if I had been the teacher I thought I was going to be if I would have lusted after being a potter. We all wonder if, if this, if that, if only.
Then you get a grip and move on.
This is what we do.
And, Mr. Doubt, go take a long walk on a short pier, I have things to do.
