Adventures in Pottery Painting

My mom's birthday was on the 2nd, and we celebrated on July 1st, which is also Canada Day!

AWWW YEAH!  FLAG!!!!

My sister and I took her pottery painting, and we had a hell of a time trying to convince her that even though the colours look different in paint form, they will show up the same as how they look on the display panel.  At one point, after she said for the millionth time that she didn't think the colours were right, I told her they WERE and I was going to throw HER in the kiln if she wasn't careful!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STOP YOUR DAMN QUESTIONS!!!

In all honesty it was a lot of fun and I am excited to see how her creation turned out, and my sister's little vase that was supposed to be a sunset but ended up a scene of cactus, and to use my new rice bowl I made, complete with built-in chopstick rest!

I think I suffer from seasonal dyslexia or something.  All winter long, after I finish ice fishing and caribou hunting and other Canadian activities, I think of how much I want it to be summer!  Conversely, in the summer I get all romantic about the beauty of fall and winter and all the lovely holidays in that part of the year.  And with my latest order of plain eyes from yeahshop I received a free gift of two pairs of little red-ringed eyes.  It got me thinking of cute (and a bit scary) amis for Hallowe'en, and I couldn't wait to make them!  So now...at the beginning of July, please meet...

BAT PEEG

...and...

ZOMBIE PEEG!!!

Even though they are Hallowe'en themed, I think they would be great anytime for anyone who likes zombies.  Or bats.  Or peegs, for that matter!  I'm going to have to get more of those eyes, I think.

That's all for tonight, Cuties!  Tomorrow...or...well...later today, I suppose, the owls will be flying (GET IT!?  Oh please say you did...) out to California to be part of Memo's Mind's giveaway, so be sure to check them out too if you get a chance!

Later, Cuties!!! xoxoxox
