Pottery

About a month ago I celebrated my birthday and went to a paint your own pottery place in Dusseldorf.  Since Dusseldorf is close and not quick to get to (especially when everything in Germany closes early...), I had not a chance to go back and get it.  Luckily, my friends were able to pick it up for me for this weekend.  I was quite pleased with the way it  turned out!  Here is my bowl:

It is a bit smaller than it looks, but it is the perfect sized soup bowl!  I can't wait to go and paint something else...

New Drawings

In the little bit of spare time I have been able to find, I have been trying out a new design I came up with.  It is based on a photo of woven bowls hanging on a wall that I saw in a magazine.  I really liked how colorful the bowls looked on the green wall and how each bowl had a different design.  With that in mind, I tried out a few designs:

I don't think I have found the perfect one yet, so I will try a few more.  I think I want to try it in my large sketchbook, but that may require buying some new pencils.  It is a good thing I am going home in a month - some of pencils are getting pretty short! 

Hello Again

Ah my poor neglected blog!  I am still adjusting to being back at work and it is exhausting!  But I am endeavoring to make more time for my blog and my art.  I have been thinking about wintery and Christmas necklaces, but have not sat down to make any yet.  However, I have been doing a little bit of drawing when I can find the time.  I finished the two mandalas I started this summer (my mandala after school club is a lot of fun in case you were wondering!).
