Many of the pieces I've started throwing have ended up in the slops bucket.<br /><br />Fortunately the clay gets recycled. Every attempt to shape clay teaches something, about the clay, the shaping or about me. All of this can be frustrating and entertaining.Fresh Localhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576485778694307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-65005955784440165642010-06-28T06:56:05.081+10:002010-06-28T06:56:05.081+10:00...and Adam was molded from clay no?...and Adam was molded from clay no?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424066726955708314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-24255871138713005202010-06-28T04:57:35.700+10:002010-06-28T04:57:35.700+10:00When I took vacation in Incirlik, Turkey the tour ...When I took vacation in Incirlik, Turkey the tour guide compared clay creation with they way God deals with humans. He said if the clay has any rough edges, the potter has to start over. He said sometimes God has the re-mold us. Is it true that you have to start over? Can that be frustrating at times? <br /><br />http://saveyearly.blogspot.comS2TP Coupon Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704600984098697467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-14194554832720541662010-06-23T18:02:47.844+10:002010-06-23T18:02:47.844+10:00Space is space ;-)Space is space ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424066726955708314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-48626113696172570222010-06-23T17:04:42.048+10:002010-06-23T17:04:42.048+10:00Now I'm wondering were they meaning the space ...Now I'm wondering were they meaning the space within the potter or the pot?<br /><br />Or the space between the potter and the pot?Fresh Localhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576485778694307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-85068553460705614282010-06-23T07:59:42.970+10:002010-06-23T07:59:42.970+10:00Hehe, the Taoist's say the most useful part of...Hehe, the Taoist's say the most useful part of the pot is the space within.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424066726955708314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-15041844154916650922010-06-23T07:57:41.237+10:002010-06-23T07:57:41.237+10:00As I slide further into the realm of pottery makin...As I slide further into the realm of pottery making as metaphor for living I begin to suspect that my belief that I can pass through life, my own and others, leaving little or no trace just ain't real.<br /><br />What I'm glimpsing of myself is something that I've avoided or ignored for the last half century.<br /><br />I'm now hoping to avoid or ignore any comparison between pottery making and parenting.Fresh Localhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576485778694307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-9656759083714516272010-06-22T15:44:58.325+10:002010-06-22T15:44:58.325+10:00This is the joy and love of creation, the inifinit...This is the joy and love of creation, the inifinite shows us a glimpse of our self within it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424066726955708314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-13403048319429244022010-06-22T15:34:51.230+10:002010-06-22T15:34:51.230+10:00I was the one who did everything that was done to ...I was the one who did everything that was done to that lump of clay, every alteration was by my hand, every act of shaping and decorating.
