Cluck cluck cluck

This weekend I wore my Aunty Mel hat and spent the weekend with my four year old niece. She is the apple of my eye. I had been promising her a day in the studio for weeks, and we finally got around to it. I should have her trained up to do all my dirty work in no time! She was a natural! After a quick burl on the wheel she also proved a dab hand at slip casting and then got all crazy on the sculptures and made beautiful big blobs with knitting needles sticking out of them! Aaah…kiddies are so good at expressing themselves! It really is a marvel to watch.

I have just come across your wonderful blog via Blosem and i'm so glad i did. first i absolutely love your work and will definitely feature soon on kstyle. Also reading about brisbane etc. has brought back so many wonderful memories for me. We lived in Peregian Beach up by Noosa before coming to ashland for about a year and it was just so spectacular. Every time i hear a bird in the trees i am immediately brought back to my time in your part of the world. The birds and their song were really spectacular. yes we have birds here in the states but NOTHING like you do in Queensland.I'm going to link on my "morning coffee visits' right nw and be sure to drop by kstyle when you get a chance. k

Hi Karen, thanks for visiting! And glad it brought back some nice memories for you! I do live in a pretty amazing part of the world, so thanks for reminding me. Easy to take it for granted sometimes. And thanks for the link!
