| wheel thrown sphere - buff stoneware clay |
I won't give too much away as I am on a deadline and want it to be a surprise...
fingers crossed it works the way I envisage in my mind ...
I also thought a white sphere would work well and I always do more than one in a series of ideas...
My recycle bucket also included some paper clay which has a tendency to break down...
this means it has a bad smell, yuk... however after checking with my fellow potters I was assured the smell was nothing to worry about. It lessened somewhat after leaving it out to dry overnight. I could have added half a teaspoon of tea-tree oil but went ahead without this time.

It is spring and the weather is warming up here. Its nice to be in the studio without needing a heater.
Our Wonga Wonga Vine is outstanding this year. We have the original cream one... there are other colours around now but I love ours and so do the bees including the native bee.

What could it be that you are making? Looking forward to the result....
can't wait to see the project surprise, do you have honey bees there? ours are in big trouble I suspect all the pesticides used over the years.
Hi Therese
yes, fingers crossed it works out...
Hi Linda
Yes we have the English honey bee plus several varieties of Australian native bees. They are very small so used more for fertilising flowers than for honey. So far our honey bees are doing OK as the tight laws we have to prevent disease coming in from overseas seems to be working.
