JANUARY HEAT WAVE

 

 

I decided I should get off my butt and do something
after the last couple of weeks of extreme heat,
 get the creative juices flowing again,
I have so many ideas floating around in my head,
so

here are the first pieces waiting for bisque firing.

 

 

Tea lights, my first venture into porcelain

It's been hot, so hot, high 38-41C. for about 14 days now,
haven't felt like potting, too hot the clay would dry out too fast
today,  finally,  its only 30C. and I have a need to get my hands
into some clay.   Starting off with a little hand building,'
went outside to wash the clay off my hands
and found this fellow having a feed off our grape vine. 
He just sat there, stopped eating
long enough to watch  me walk up very close to take this photo.
