I swear I'm losing my mind lately? I've been looking everywhere for the thread where I said I made a spiderweb bowl in my wheel throwing class and that making pottery on the potters wheel is nothing like the movie Ghost. Nowhere even close to sexy. Does that sound familiar? I think it had something to do with the topic of "I love Halloween". It was either here or the October mini meet thread, but I'm posting this here. I took a pic of the bowl because it was the last day of class and I brought it home. Yay!

For those of you who care about the artsy fartsy technicality... I waited until it dried enough to carve away and painted on some black slip (wet goopy clay that has black stuff like paint-ish glaze in it) then using a tool I carved away the web. Then it was fired once. I poured white glaze on the inside of the bowl and wiped the excess off with a wet sponge, leaving the glaze only in the cracks. Then it was high fired. I'm pretty pumped about how it turned out!

ps. This is relevant to the exchange because we were talking about the Halloween exchange. Just fyi.

And I got my package today, well I'm sure it came yesterday but we didn't get the mail until today. It was from Jane!!! And just like the one I sent, it's in 3 parts. She sent a really nice letter to explain it. The first part was a handmade magic wand to keep my family inline!! Oh, wait, she said it's to "encourage" them. Same thing!! And some really cool Disney coasters, like this:

The next part is a book that she ordered from Amazon that comes out on June 1, called The Best Summer Drinks: 500 Incredible Cocktail and Appetizer Recipes! I think that's coming with me to Vegas!!

And the other part is something from the Disney store, but no hints!! I'll let you all know when I get it.

Thanks so much, Jane! I can't wait to get the other parts, and to try out my magic wand to whip them ... I mean encourage them to do what I ask!!

I'm glad you liked it! Part II is out for delivery according to the package tracker, so even though I gave you no hints, you should know soon!

Well, you do have a point there.

 

[wendylady36]

Are they Disney themed?

There is a lime green one.

Cute coasters!!! I want some now............

I agree, those coasters are adorable!

I'm excited for the next ones now. This is super fun!

Oooo, especially Halloween and Christmas!

(I swear, what's with the banana?? He only dances when he feels like it!? )

Same here, I can't wait!

Morning ladies! I wore my new shirt (which fit just perfectly after washing and much stretching -- I'm flattered Dawn thinks me so skinny ) and had orange juice from my new pitcher this morning. I'm enjoying all my new treats!

I can't believe you had to stretch the shirt. I was almost gonna tell Dawn to get the small!!

I remember that post, so you're not crazy.

Way cute bowl! If I tried that...well...I just wouldn't even attempt it, so there you go.

You know, this exchange has been so much fun!!!!! I really am excited for the next one!

I'm excited too! I wish we didn't have to wait so long for the next one!


I tracked the package I sent and my recipient will be getting it tomorrow!

Whew! I'm glad I still have my sanity.... okay who am I kidding?! Thanks for the compliments everyone! I actually didn't work as hard on it as I did on pretty much everything else in that class... the design was experimental and it ended up working really well.

My diva is supposed to get her goodie box tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I got my package from Becci! It was a lot of fun to open up a box filled with lots of goodies.

She had the box packed with:

A My Friends Tigger & Pooh Kite
Super Star Ice Pop Maker (makes star shapped popcicles!)
Hand Lotion
Lip Gloss
3 Nail Polishes
Crystal Light Lemonade Mix
and a very thoughtful book about Autism!

Thank you soooo much Becci! I love it all!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Jane, I'm wishing I had scanned your scrapbook that I made you into my computer. I thought I could export the pages but can't.

I can always reprint, but man that's a lot of ink!

I was just so excited to get it in the mail!

 

[fairykin]

Debra...what a cute package you got from AmySue!! We were just talking about wearing flip flops in another thread.. now your toenails will be soooo pretty!

And another nice package from Becci to Heather... how thoughtful with the book on autism, that's really caring.
