it was a pottery day today.....hooray for that....and this happy, happy, happy plate is one of two glazed pieces i picked up....... i think i glazed five or six pieces last week....so by next week i should have quite a few more happy pottery pieces......i also picked up some bisque ware today.....but didn't get around to glazing it...... i wish i loved glazing.....cause that's really the key to fabu pottery...but i just really love the messing about with clay bit......the glazes seem a bit of a chore for me...even when i try to have a joyful attitude about glazing....or go about it experimentally or quicky or slow and steady, it is no use....a bit of a drudge.....i sometimes kid and say i'm going to pay a pal to glaze for me......but i won't.....that'd be like cheating.......
here's an interesting tidbit....i brought my two happy plates home today (you can see the other one on flickr) ....and the two happy plates are already wrapped......with curly ribbons and all!! ........i'd tell you why, only, you can't really announce gift giving on a blog, lest the recipients read the blog and blow the surprise!! i do believe one happy plate recipient knows it is coming to her...the other has no idea! .....i love surprises...i even love giving surprises as much as i like getting them.....
happy, happy, happy ......
EDIT added later: i gave away my two happy plates....to my two best girlfriends......they took me out to lunch for my birthday.....hooray.......and they loved their new happy plates.......
