You know...I guess it is a lesson in disappointments. I am not sure if the handle will make it through the glaze process let alone the firing but I am going to try anyway. After all...what have I got to lose really, right?
So I took some cobalt carbonate and painted the tracks of the butterfly and I will glaze it Semi-Gloss White...cross my fingers and hope she makes it. You see, it is HOPE that keeps me in the pottery studio at all. I love the feeling of possibilities...even if they seem to be such long-shots so often.
Here's to Growing and Glowing!!
Onward
and Upward!! ™
