clayette: My oh my...
http://clayette.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-oh-my.html
Sunday, January 27, 2013. Last week I finished my grand children's portraits. Not too bad for a first timer, although I made Olivia 16 instead of 6, and got William's impish pleasant look, but not his likeness, and Katey, I made her 28 instead of 8 :) But here they are nonetheless. :). Sam at the pool. Kate, climbing the wall at Blowing Rock NC. Olivia enjoying the sun at Blowing Rock. And William sitting in their backyard. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

clayette: Life goes on.
http://clayette.blogspot.com/2012/09/life-goes-on.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2012. I have to start this post by an apology. I had been neglectful in keeping you posted. but life interferes and this retirement thing turned out to be busier than expected. 3 times a week I walk to the Lake House at 6 in the morning to do my yoga. I also am improving my creative side taking acrylic and water color classes. Still doing my pottery, turning more sculptural with an almost daunting learning curve, beading I enjoy immensely.

clayette: September 2011
http://clayette.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. When we first moved into Sun City I joined everything art/craft with the intention of culling the chafe and keeping the grain but it turns out, all of it was grain to me, I even added the writers guild to my assortment of interest and found it to fit me perfectly. I am finally getting into pottery seriously and am moving in different directions trying to find my new slower paced more thoughtful style, but I am not there yet. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

clayette: December 2012
http://clayette.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 15, 2012. I hide in my haven. I hide from Syria and my worry about her. I hide from worrying about my Mom and family surviving in Damascus. I hide from a mad man killing innocent children in Connecticut. I hide from another slashing children in China. I hide from the mad world hoping it will not find me. I hide, yet not. there is no place to hide. The best I can do is pray, work, create beauty to counter the ugliness and meditate to counter the noise. Looking at the sun".

clayette: Fall in the air
http://clayette.blogspot.com/2012/10/fall-in-air.html
Thursday, October 04, 2012. Fall in the air. Ahh Autumn. I love this season, a bit later here than it was in WV, but lovely nonetheless, with its marvelous colors; and a nip in the night air that is conducive to sleeping, under cover, with the windows open. In other news my painting is getting better, crowned for now with this Shark for my grandson's room per his mom's request. Now they all want one of my paintings. Stay tuned while I finish and post them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

clayette: March 2013
http://clayette.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 10, 2013. Again, this year I went to the potters conference with a friend. As usual it was great with 3 potters demonstrating simultaneously like a three ring circus. In the middle of the stage Julia Galloway was throwing pitcher and making her delicate pillow lids. To Julia's right, Tara Wilson was making sugar and creamer among many other things using darting to make her soft structured pots. Tara's work at the exhibition. Tara's teapot in the leather hard stage. Peter refining his teapot.

Thursday, January 12, 2012. Carving, I mean Knitting. I wanted a fun small holder for my things when I don't leave the compound and just go to the Lake House (Community Center). So out came the needles and yarn with a resulting owel. I liked it so I wore it everywhere. Of course, when my grand children saw it they wanted creatures of their own. An owl for the 8 years old, as a basket for his bike. A flower for the 7 year old girl. A ducky for the 5 year old. A dragon Back pack for the 3 year old.

clayette: April 2011
http://clayette.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. To the Art House, an old flour mill turned into a hotel and gallery, my sister and I went to listen to a fiends son who has become an international Symphonic Clarinetist. After a minute of silence for the fallen, he started his performance. He made love to his clarinet and his audience, swaying gently,hypnotizing that imaginary snake, growing the music louder, softer, deeper, harsher always conjuring emotions eloquently, harmoniously, beautifully. My February of fish. View my c...
