Hand Bowl

I made this bowl using some molds I made of my hands. I think it turned out cool. I hope to mold Jeff's hands as well.
The terricota piece is from India, it's actually a lamp, you put oil and a wick in it and you're good to go. My friend got it for me while she was in India for a wedding.
The two cup like things are just rejects that I used as testers but I like the way the glaze came out, always good to have an idea before they go into the kiln.
love,
Michele

I'm melting, melting














It's like over 100 but 9 a.m. I am officially over the heat. I guess I'm a little cranky!!! Even the poor cats just lay around all day, trying to keep cool. They sprawl out on the tile floors, I might join them but getting up off the floor is getting more difficult for me these days.

We just haven't had any rain to speak of this "rainy" season. Otherwise, we would get some rest from the heat from time to time but this year it's just hot hot hot. I guess I probably complain about it more since I have an extra couple of liters of fluid in my body at the moment! Thanks for listening to my whining.

later,

Michele
