We found a pillar with zebra skin on it. You all know how much I like animal print especially zebra. Chenille thought it would be funny after Gaylan and I had our picture taken to look sexy in a picture with the zebra background.

We started laughing and there was no way that sexy was coming out. Chenille pulled it off though.

Our family is known for its love of ice cream. We often have  an ice cream treat while we watch a movie or even the news. I bought banana split dishes just for the occasion. I think if it looks food fancy it tastes better. One of our favorite toppings is cut up fruit especially pineapple, strawberries and cantaloupe. Although for me hot fudge is always a great choice. When we travel we love to find an ice cream outlet. In Europe our favorite is Gelato.

Family reunion

I like throwing on the pottery wheel but I love hand building as well. Making this fish was a process of combining Throwing the body of the fish on the wheel and then building the attached parts by hand. The body and the tail were first. I threw a cylinder to make the tail and the body then hand build the other parts and attached them.

Frank Polito an instructor at Pottery West taught me a painting style to use on fish plates. I took that and used it on my fish sculpture. I can’t wait to fire and glaze him.
