Carpe Diem #1259 creating beauty
Today’s prompt reminded me of the first time I got to try to make pottery on a wheel in my best friend’s basement.
fresh slab of clay
wedging air bubbles
spinning and shaping
fresh slab of clay
cut with wire from a block
a treat from you dad
wedging air bubbles
hands full of fatigue
not done yet
spinning and shaping
vessel beginning to emerge
collapsing again
from experience
your vessel holds it’s shape
a thing of beauty
forty odd years on my desk
token of youth and friendship

I have always wanted to try this. Pretty sure my would collapse every time.

I’ve never been successful. Was always jealous my friend could do this.

I have a couple of friends that can do pretty much anything like this. They do not have blogs. So we each have our own things we can do. Oh, but one of them published a newsletter for her profession.
