well at least it is supposed to - but right now time is standing still - I am so bloody tired! organisising a move back to Aberdeen whilst dealing with sepeartion from my husband and coping with my job (Which is really actually more demanding than i make out) is making me tired, irritable and ill - have to see the Doctor on Monday as they think I am burning myself out. Not good - i like being active and happy and this complete and utter lack of energy is killing me completely!!!!!!!

Anyway - in an attempt to find something to relax me (and keep me awake as I think I am sleeping too much) I went into town and bought 10 Kg of clay.

Not anything wrong with that you might say? Now please bear in mind that this was a spur of the moment thing, I had already bought some other things and I don't drive. It must have made quite a few people chuckle to see me trying to get this lump of dead weight home! It makes me laugh to think about it - but then I have never really been known for thinking things through and planning ahead - get up and go and damn the consequences - thats me!

Anyway - Clay - is going to go from this

clay

To this:

pot

To this

finished pot

Yeah right - I wish!!!! :**:

Or i could just make lots of nakie men with big willies noses LOL

Anyway, I am having trouble finding some reference material online for basic tenchniques and what not - I have an idea what to do, but like to read about things in detail - so any tips would be greatly appreciated. I have never really done any pottery before - apart from the general make an wobbly poor excuse for an ashtray for your parents at school type of thing - drawing and painting has always been my bag (Which is coming along really nicely by the way - I am currently doing some works for my new house - and have started a series of pictures (Mixed media) called 'Embrace' - will try and see if i can get some of my pics online - but I am really busy just now and never seem to have time to do half of the things I say I am going to do these days!!!!!

PS - Willow - thanks for the comments - the day in bed was absolutely fantastic - probably the best day of my life for a long long time - think I need to do it again soon! LOL xx And need more flavours of ice-cream this time!!! Possibly Ben and Jerry's or Hagen Daas - mmmmmmmmm.
