Bits & Pieces #1

  I finally finished glazing and painting this teapot.  It's looking pink and shiny due to the wax I use. Mr. Mark's Wax On.  Remembering to take pictures before waxing seems to be beyond me.

The Gooneys are dressed in their finest for Carnival, which was the original inspiration for this and other pots.  Also refers back to the 'walking teapots' I did a lifetime.....well, thiritish years ago.  

I have called this post Bits & Pieces #1 because I hope to make it a continuing post about the oddities  I make and think about.  Things don't always fit into neat categories.

F/U to yesterday's  Wordless Wednesday about Clarisse Cliff.  The Color Room is a film about how she became Clarisse Cliff,  I think I watched it on Prime, not sure where it is available. 

Just remembered that I read a good article about women artists who bloomed in later life.  I don't think she is mentioned, but of course Beatrice Wood came immediately to mind. You can google it.  Hyperallergic has a free membership.

Thankful Thursday......just thankful that I don't have to go anywhere and can enjoy this sunny day.

Stay strong and as always, thanks for stopping by................*s*

Thursday

 I was going to post another photo of the morning glories, but it was quite cool when I went out to feed the birds so they weren't really open yet. Don't need. another photo of leaves.  If I remember I will add a phot later.

I'm off to see my primary care doc.  I know she is not going to be happy about my A1C.  There will be discussions,I know.  Perhaps if I start paying closer attention to my diet and exercise I can bring it down a bit.

I see my optometrist and retina specialist later this month.  Too many appointments.  I feel doctored out.

I used to think that clustering my appointments and getting them all done at once was the way to go.  Mostly they seem to make me incredibly grouchy, so I am going to start stretching them out.

I know that I am most fortunate in that all my health problems are under control, but it still annoys me.

GRRRRRR!!!!

We'll see,  grasshopper...............we'll see........
