As you know Holly Dog takes great care of me. That may be because she views me as a good source of roast chicken but the fact remains, she takes great care of me.
Anyway, she has been discussing me with G, her regular human, and together they bought me a lovely present, an evening playing with clay. I haven't done that since I left primary school over sixty years ago. G came along as did another friend and we had a lovely evening making "Christmas trees".
It started with a very uninspiring lump of clay but we pummelled, rolled, cut and moulded the clay to form a cone. Then we cut holly leaves and stars which we attached to the cone. We made holes in the cone so that, when it is fired, painted, glazed and fired a second time, we can put a candle inside it and let the light shine though.
So far it is just a grey cone with grey decorations but I'll be going back in a fortnight to paint it. If it looks respectable, I may show it to you. If not, there will be silence.
That sounds like such a fun activity! I hope it turns out well and you'll be able to show it to us. :)
ReplyDeleteSo do I. The example I saw was lovely.
DeleteWhat a clever idea and a good time making it
ReplyDeleteHolly is very clever. So clever she realised she couldn't join in.
DeleteIt looks brilliant, can't wait to see the finished item.
