Boobed!

Apparently my latest ceramic work is starting to look a bit like a nice pair...

This was not the intention but I must admit my critics have a point LOL.

One Good Turn...

Mmmm.

20th January

Happy birthday son. Bet you didn't realise you shared your special day with the 4th Doctor LOL.

Small Dish

First up a very belated compliments of the season to one and all.

Tonight I've just got home from college with a lovely little dish (if I say so myself) finished in Blue Grey stoneware glaze with a touch Bright Blue to the rim. Nice.

It's A...?

My latest hand-built work in progress...

Not sure yet what it will be LOL.

Lantern

Took LL down the road to Maidenhead to take part in the Christmas lantern parade through the town centre. As you can see below images*, it was extremely well supported with home-made lanterns of many shapes and varieties.

* Please excuse the relative poor quality of the camera phone pictures. My hands were getting quite numb from the cold LOL!

Recipe Of The Week?

Skittles Vodka.

Just don't use the blue ones LOL!

Ummm...?

Latest hand-built creation.

Decorated with Purple Iron Oxide and the following stoneware glazes: Copper Red, Light Oatmeal, Fiord Blue and Bright Orange Red.

Another Import?

In addition to being encouraged to wish everyone "Happy Holidays" not "Merry Christmas" here in the UK we now have the joys of the Black Friday sales.

Given its apparent alleged origins, do we really want another imported "tradition"?

All About Alan

Just back from the cinema where we saw The Imitation Game, the story of Alan Turing and his work at Bletchley Park cracking the German Enigma Code.

The film stars Keira Knightley and the man who has a voice like treacle, Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing, father on the modern computer. An absolutely brilliant film, based on a true story, well worth a trip to your local multiplex.
