Lump of Clay

It's Sunday which means I get to show off something I found whilst browsing on Etsy. Today I'm featuring a lovely red cookie jar.

When I was an art student in high school, I remember getting to try pottery at the wheel. I loved the feel of the clay in my hands. It was so cooling to the touch and pliable in the fingers, and when it was spinning on the wheel it felt so smooth. I loved it!! The only problem was that I was TERRIBLE at it! For some reason my items never stayed perfectly centered and I never went down deep enough on the inside. I always ended up with a deformed object that had a base of about 2 inches.

Anyways, to this day, I admire anyone who can turn a lump of clay into something beautiful on a pottery wheel. When this cookie jar caught my eye, I just had to share it!

Off to find cookies now...

Simon's Cat

Gotta love Simon Tofield's work! I just got the book not too long ago and I definitely recommend it as a coffee table book! It's great how effective his drawings are without using any words at all.

If you're not familiar with his work, just click on the picture or visit YouTube.

Little Birdie

I just couldn't resist posting up this little chick (thanks to National Geographic Daily Dozen).

He's just so CUTE!!!

My First Treasury- Flirtacious & Fiery

Yesterday my treasury magically came back to me! I had tried the other day to make one but I got an 'error' and was sooo sad! Somebody managed to find it for me though which was very nice of them. I didn't get a chance to take a screen shot of it when it was up and running but here's a screen shot of the poster sketch. It'll have to do. :)

*it may be too small to see, but in the tabs I have open, you will see the all important "Farmville". LOL!

Closing Ceremonies

I absolutely loved the closing ceremonies yesterday night and my favourite part was definitely the 'stereotypes' section with the giant table hockey (with the kid on roller blades as the puck), men in canoes, lumberjacks and the flying moose and beavers. Michael Buble did an excellent job of singing from atop a Mountie hat! I found this photo on the CBBC website--the kids division of BBC. Just looking at this photo brings a smile on my face :)
