Random Pics....

A dead moth that was in my mom's car by the back window.


Kayley in my new sink



Cool light covering next to a garage.





A cool cake I ordered from "
Say it with Cake." I had to try fondant since I like the show "Cake Boss" and they use it allll the time. It was weird and not sure if I would order it on a cake again.



Cool Yin - Yang symbol made with chocolate at The Melting Pot. I had wanted to go there for years and finally got to go for my birthday this year! My brother paid for it. It was a cool place.



This was a weird drink I ordered from a Japanese restaurant. It was REALLY good. You had to open it a certain way that seemed suupppppper complicated though.



A weird tree growing right outside my mom's front wall at her house.




I saw this at Walgreens and I had to take a picture of it. "Blow your lunch"?!?!!? Also on the top right it says "Inspected by Dept of Bubble Gum."

Sun Rise!

I saw this awesome sunrise while I was driving to work today so I had to takes some pics...

Weird pumpkin

I saw this at the grocery store and I thought it was so weird. I had no idea that a pumpkin could be that weird colour. It was like a grey light blue.

RaKu!!

Some friends from work are into Raku and I got to see the process on the 22nd of February. My mom and I got to paint beads that had already been fired once then we got to see them go through the process of getting fired again. I found this page: Raku on Wiki.

Here are our beautifully painted beads!


This is a rack one of them made to fire the beads


Firing with propane! After it is done firing they put the stuff in a garbage can filled with newspaper. While the pottery is in the garbage can they put wet towels over it to prevent the fire department from being called.







Our beads!

I am very thankful they let my mom and I keep the beads! After they are all cooled off we are supposed to scrub them to make them look pretty. I have yet to do that though. As soon as I do I will post a picture.




More Raku that is done firing...off to the garbage can!




Another round being prepared for firing.






A very interesting pot that just got done with the firing and garbage can process.



Yet another piece. I think this is awesome and it reminds me of Edvard Munch's "The Scream"

Here is a table that was inside the studio that I thought was awesome. I don't think the table and the skull part really go together. I don't remember if they were one unit or not. I think the skull part would look awesome hanging on the wall. It reminded me of the "Day of the Dead" style skulls/skeletons.
