2 DAYS PAINTING AT ART IN ACTION, KURRAJONG

Last weekend I spent 2 days painting with 3 of my very good

"arty" friends .  Every year we trek off to Kurrajong

and spend a glorious couple of days dining out,

sipping on the occasional?  wine, painting and catching up

on the last 12 months.  Lots of late nights and early mornings,

but we love it.  Oh! I forgot to say we stay in this

fabulous B & B and are pampered like you wouldn't believe.

Sometimes I think we do this weekend just for the pampering

at the B & B.  

 

 

First day painting was landscape scenes,

this is Bendemeer, NSW

Second day was a different technique of painting.

Jackson Pollock style - throwing, dripping and

dribbling paint on the canvas -

mine ended up an aerial view of the Red Centre

So, that is the reason no pottery blog this week,

but don't forget to check on the other potters

JUST OUT OF THE KILN

 

VOILA!  MY FIRST BATCH OF PENDANTS

 

I have been working towards this day for a few weeks,

yesterday I fired these pendants in sawdust and

anxiously waited for them to cool down.

They have been polished with beeswax and

 hung on thin leather cords.

 

 

 

 

Also working on another range of pendants

which will be glazed front and back.  Just sorting out how I

will hang them in the kiln to fire. 

Can't wait to finish them. 

 

Don't forget to check out Mud Colony to see

what other potters are creating.

 

 

 

SUNDAY MORNING

 

 

 

 

Winter is waiting in the wings,

feel the crispness in the air morn and night,

leaves turning, falling to the ground,

my view from kitchen window,

 lovely ornamental pear edging our drive, 

wearing a beautiful coat of many colours.
