Elephants, Elephants

I could hold Dora responsible for this. It started quietly enough. I was going to show her how to throw a form that would become a body and feet to a pig. Don't know who but the suggestion for elephant dangled itself before us and so it became elephant. That is what Dora & I did all Thursday afternoon in Kettering's Rosewood studio, put a clay elephant together.

By that evening Leah, had given him a name--Tim. She is waiting for him to get "cooked" Aiee! I howled at Leah. "You do not cook or bake clay. He will be fired! and MAYBE he will survive."

Guess you could say one elephant was not enough. I am home in my studio and am working on elephants today (Sat) as I did all day Friday. Fun!

Congratulations Chrissy and thank you all who participated!

Dragon Ladies In Process



My worms pictured earlier in this blog as The Snakes have been accepted at Rosewood Arts Center for a show in 2010 and this has given me new energy to push the worms further. As serendipity would have it I was stopped in my tracks at my local library when I walked past a book titled "The Goat Sucker and the Jealous Potter" authored by Claude Levi Strauss. Yes, I had to take it home & is it a literary bone to be chewed. No, I did not finish the book to its end, not yet anyway, but what I've read has given me plenty of material.
