Monika, My New Friend

I don’t know where to begin! I came home rambling off to Hubby a mile a minute and have had one of my most favorite workshops EVER! I learned so many things, met a new friend and 5:00PM came way too soon!

I’m working on my pictures and it will be a while for me to get them in the album. Check back later if they are not here when you visit. My Album will include some of my fabulous friends, our great instructor Margie (who went to Japan and studied pottery) and her works and to give you a sample of my day. I can’t wait till tomorrow; there is another full day in store for all of us.

Margie demo’d so many different kinds of textures today and I am truly on cloud 9 right now. I’ve always liked adding texture to my pieces and she even took it to another level. She actually adds a very cool bottom to her casserole as seen in my picture album. Her work has inspired me further.

My new friend (Monika pictured above) is from Germany, she knows 6 languages, lived in Spain, and moved here last August. She dated her boyfriend for 2 ½ years while she was overseas and they are now engaged to get married in July. She and I just clicked from the very moment we met. There was just something about her that I just adored so we plan to see each other weekly now. She has joined the studio and I’m a member as well so we plan to meet each Wednesday at the studio and play in the mud together. She is a real gem and a pleasure to be around.

It’s really hard to put into words my feelings but I’m on a high with all that I learned plus the addition of a wonderful new friend.
