I removed the supporting armature a bit prematurely on this construction and the result is a leaning mugphlute...Working with pulled and twisted clay can result in stresses that result in the clay attempting to shrink/warp back into its previous state (thus the term 'clay memory').
I may still be able to alter/trim the base in order to re-establish a better center of gravity. I'd sure hate to see this much work end up in the slop bucket (Akkk!).
Approximately 18" tall, Laguna 'B' mix greenware, just a little past leather hard.
I spent some time Friday getting my new desk and workspace more functional and decorated. So far I really like it, which is good, I think I'll be spending a lot of time here for the school year.
Here is the winter set that I am giving to my mother-in-law. Right now I just have the scarf done.
I used Peruvian Wonders Fine Alpaca yarn on size 5 needles. I can't find a color indicator on the packaging. :( It is a vibrant spring green.
I used a single 1x1 rib for the edges. The interior is a twin rib.

I was working on two different images today and did not intend to put libbyquilter's photo-transfer with blue (it was with the other image pile), but here it is. The blue fabric has bonsai images that mirror the photo-transfer. I am going to freehand machine quilt this heavily....trying to work the colors back and forth between the two images. The sunlight is gone for the day, so this photo is a little off.
