Happy thoughts.
Today is a day in desperate need of happy thoughts. So, I bring you some happy colours for a yucky Friday…
BFL, BFL, and Merino/Bombyx Silk in reds
New colourway. Lotus. Although, it reminds me of Chinese pastries.
And of course, I couldn’t get enough of Jo’s fabulous sheep illustration, so I had to make it permanent somehow. So, here are the pottery pieces I painted about two weeks ago with the sheep:
Top of the plate
Bottom of the plate
Bowl Exterior
Bowl Interior
That’s it. Hope your Friday is going better than mine!
That bowl and plate are absolutely darling! I am the worst pottery painter on earth, and I don’t say that to be modest, I say it because tiny paintbrushes suddenly become tree trunks in my hands and everything turns out a muddy brown. But you! So good with the painting! And the drawing! With things that can’t be erased!
I hope your Friday gets better!
Gorgeous photos as always. I am in love with that sheep pottery!
Oh – looks like some more great yarn that I must resist buying! And the bowl and plate are so cute!
I love your painted pottery…I love painted pottery. I can’t wait to get my yarn and I hope you’re cheerier soon. Take care…you make the loveliest things.
I love the color of your pottery and the matching roving! My favorite colors!
Sorry to hear you are having a bad day. Hope things turn around for you.
Those sheep dishes are soooo cute! You are just so talented. And the dyeing, well – brilliant as always. Friday’s almost over – go home and put your feet up and have a great weekend.
Sorry to ready you’re having a crummy Friday – I hope the weeknd is better. The pottery – amazing!! I love the green.
Love that new colorway – its springtime in a hank. The sheep is great – I think you should go cafeexpress on that thing. We need T-shirts! and mugs!
I’ve been having a crappy Friday, too, but the lotus colors and wonderful bowls sure perk things up. You are so talented!
That Lotus colorway looks absolutely lover-ly! Thoughts of spring immediately pop in my head. Cheer up – the weekend is here! Hope you take some time for yourself and relax.
Hehehehe, cute. I imagine a tea cup; when you get to the bottom there’s the sheep looking up at you.
Wow, beautiful pottery, you’re definitely talented in all kinds of crafts. Have a great weekend, and happy chinese new year!
SO CUTE!!! I adore that little lamb!
Wonderful stuff! It’s been a crappy Friday at my office, and then home to a crabby hubby and crabby child-unit as well.
HARRUMPHH!
May your weekend glow like coals in a hibachi. May your knitting always flow without tangles. Have a happy whatever.
You are so talented, you break my heart!
Btw, I’m going to pack up the yarn for handpainting and mail it to you next week. Not sure how long it will take to reach you, but probably a few weeks?
Beautiful colors! I also love the adorable sheep pottery! Too cute! As someone said earlier, you are very talented in so many things. I really admire your work. I hope your weekend looks up…take care!
Your pottery is cutey patootey. Hope your troubles aren’t too serious.
Both the yarn and the bowl are awesome!—-and cheered me up so I hope it worked for you!
The Lotus colorway is perfect for the next few weeks too as Lunar New Year (AKA Chinese New Year) begins on Sunday!
oooh….i love the new lotus colorway and the pottery is lovely! hope your weekend is kind to you with the start of a new year!
OMG! The colours are absolutely gorgeous!!!! And the bowls and plates are sooooo cute!
What’s wrong? My Friday was okay…it could’ve been better. I mean, I got a bit annoyed at the university. So, I was downing that down with 5 glasses of 2000 Red Carinena Reserva last night while knitting away on my Meilenweit Fantasie…I’m pretty surprised I didn’t make any mistakes last night. LOL Probably because I was just knitting the leg in 2×2 ribs…but I doubt I’d be able to turn the heel drinking 5 glasses of red wine! LOL
A woman of many talents!! I love the sheep.
The plate and bowl are just too cute. You are so creative!
I love the colourway, like a stick of rock. Great pottery.
Wow, that is truly inspiring!
I actually reorganized my stash yesterday and started a twenty four hour dye-a-thon. Well, okay, I ate…slept…watched TV…and did several other things along the way…but I got four or five pounds of fiber dyed! Lucky for me, it is a beautiful day here in Mississippi and I have it all out drying in the back yard.
If you ever decide to sell your pottery I would def buy it. too cute!!!!
love the pottery, and your colors, fabulous!
Adorable pottery. That roving in the top right is to die for!!! Gorgeous color!!
I hope the next day is better.
Your stash is so beautiful! It almost made me cry! Such beautiful colours. You are very talented!
Adorable pottery and luscious yarn colors, too. Now I see what I miss when I read fast through my favorite knitting blogs via Bloglines.com.
How utterly fantastic! Is there anything you can’t do?
Is that Lotus yarn from Treenway? I find their site hard to navigate, so can you send me a link to it? I love the color. Thanks.
