How lucky am I!?!
It's foggy in this picture but is often glimmering with blue ocean to the left. In the spring, it's alive with wildflowers. There's also a higher path where we let the critters off leash and they gallivant all over the place. It's impossible to hold on to a bad mood with that much joy going on.
I'm still in Arizona with my sister, who had surgery on Monday. She most likely will get the clearance to go home and we'll fly back to Californian on Friday. She has had extreme pelvic pain for years now. The surgeon decompressed her pudendal nerve and the surgery went really well. I have such high hopes for her, but trying to stay grounded in the present.
Speaking of high-flying hopes, here is a series of birds I've been working on. I try to make at least one for every kiln load and they're starting to add up. Gotta chorus line-up!
And, finally, another view of the studio... Several people commented about the gallery view in my previous posts and wondered where I actually work. This pic, also taken by my friend, Phyliss, shows some of my work space. Up in this section, where I'm standing, I have two wheels and a slab roller. To the left (out of the picture) is a storage closet for clay/glazes. To the right is the work sink and bathroom.
That's not a dead duck on the ground... just dog toys strewn around. Kind of a mess. But, hey, you guys are seeing the real thing!
