monday

it was a perfect way to start my week! yoga at 6am, start work by 8am... and then off to pottery class at 2pm! inspired by your earth therapy.... i finally found a class to do this year :)

here's the workshop at the UP college of fine arts. i love the super high ceiling, the big space and all that light that comes in (even on rainy days).


it has a lot of interesting pieces made by the students there. this one caught my eye right away - a fish sculpture from a materials class, made mostly of spoons forks and knives :)


here's my little workspace... where i decided to make a leaf plate patterned after a real leaf i found outside, all by hand-building....



i "pinched" a lotus flower bowl to go on top of it...


and made this little bird by hand, so it could perch on the leaf....


tadah!!! here's my leaf sushi plate, with a lotus flower bowl for the soy sauce, and a little bird where you could rest your chopsticks on :)


i'm leaving it to dry so i can glaze it and fire it in a few weeks :) can't wait for my next class....hmmm.... so many ideas, so little time....

best monday ever. haha!
