I had a fun day, playing around with some more wall plaques. I made some cameo plaques. And, I noodled around with more dimensional forms. Tomorrow, I will put the rim around the backs that will hopefully prevent cracking. The rim also holds the wall hanging wire. Today, I listened to a new book called "The Indigo Girl" by Natasha Boyd. It is a fictionalized account of the life of Eliza Lucas Pinckney. When I read that George Washington requested to be a pallbearer at her funeral, I knew I had to know more...

Going to the Dogs
This was the first day back in the clay shed in quite some time. I finally finished listening to "Little Dorrit" by Charles Dickens. Today, I was listening to "Inside of a Dog" by Alexandra Horowitz. Winston hung out in the shed with me, as usual. There was a lengthy discussion about dog breeding, and about wolves. Also, the hostility of dachshunds was mentioned, much to my amusement. So, I decided to make some dog wall plaques. I also made a few more of the holiday plaques. Maybe they can celebrate Valentine's Day. I wanted the doggie and kitty plaques to look childlike. I will glaze in the details later. I was inspired by some brooches that I've been seeing lately in my researches. I hope they turn out!
My dog, Percy, was sprayed by a skunk again the other night. And, this morning, he went outside and rolled around in the skunk scent on the back lawn. After spending the afternoon in the clay shed, I can definitely say that the skunk sprayed all around it. It smelled like burning piles of tires. I keep washing the scent off of Percy, but he seems to enjoy it. I think that a good rainstorm might be in order!

Here we are, with a shiny new metallic hip. And, with a shitload of pills. The folks at the hospital couldn't have been nicer. Awkward...
