This Is How It Tastes

Oh so last minute! But that is how I do it. This is a days painting, I think I am just about going to make my deadline of Monday firing and Tuesday glaze, open up kiln on Wednesday morning stuff the pot into my handbag and run for the plane. I am calling this one “This Is How It Tastes”. The decoration involves multi layers of black and white slips carving and slip trailing finished off with a bit of jewelling on the Mr. Whippy ice creams. All in all an extreme psychedelic display of indulgence!

I have to show you my Leonard Cohen tickets brought home tonight by mi amor. This is why I am rushing back from The Joze Show, to see the great man in concert just up the road from us. He is playing in the bull ring in Granada, a fairly small venue. I am beside myself with excitement!

Oh, this is a beautiful vase with the ice cream cones and all the colors, I just love this one with it's multicolored flavors. If I had to choose one of your pieces I don't know if I could make a choice, Kitty, they are all so wonderful and each one is such a surprise. I so look forward to visiting your blog to see your next artistic creation.

How wonderful you will see Leonard Cohen in a small concert, those are the best kind of concerts.

The little black sheep - Wild Thang - kitten - has just been captured using Gary's technique of threading a rope through the cat carrier and luring it in with food and then pulling the rope to close the door. He is meowing very loudly protesting his lack of freedom. I am afraid the trip to the animal shelter is going to be a traumatic one for him and for me and they don't open for another 2.5 hours.

Thanks guys, I have done another 5 hours on it today and I feel as though it hasn't progressed very much at all. I have Saturday and Sunday to finish!
