A French wedding in Scotland

You may discover funny things on occasion of hen parties...such as the answer to: "If he was an animal what would it be?". To my French friends for their Scottish wedding...

Drawing on pottery - singing birds

Last December I had my usual visit to the pottery studio of Raku, for decorating some tiles for their Christmas fair. All the regular size tiles were gone though - I was late! So I decided to put my four singing birds in a big one. Now all together they sing Domenico Modugno's song "Nel blu dipinto di blu" . After the first fire I wanted add a touch of green...so it would have been be very Italian overall.

New start

January can be quite grey and dull, but it can also be the month of waking up resolutions and ideas - old and new. Some may end up sleeping under the ground, but others will pop out like snowdrops.

I've been playing with quite a few creative ideas for a while and hope I'll have the determination of getting started with them, do more crafty/arty things and share what I do.

Meanwhile, it was nice to see that my friends did a great job in watering my plants while I was away. One of them is even flowering...I take it as an encouragement!

Thank you Kasia and Joana :-)
