Hope everyone had a good Easter. We did the usual activities, church, Easter baskets, big meal, egg hunt and than the kids had meltdowns from all the excitement by the end of that day. My family was here this year and we had a nice time together. Joey cooked a spectacular meal, as he always does and it was fun seeing the kids all excited. ( Plus lots a free candy hanging around for my sugar fixes during the week!)
I love to set a pretty table when I have a occasion too. I learned this from my grandmother and my mother and I think that is why I like to make "fancy" pots. Here is "flower block #2" with flowers for the Easter dinner. This is the one I made for NCECA but did not come out. I had trouble not getting the rim to crack. This design I am going to work on more because I love how the flowers fan out in this one.
Happy Easter everyone. Hope your bunny brought you lots of good stuff too!

Looks nice Jen. I think you need to come up with a fancy name for these. They are better than just 'flower block'. Later,Ron
he's right... "floral arrangement vessel"..."composite floral vessel"
hmmm
oops- that was me- judi
i've got it... "jardiniere brick" that's what it is...if it were just for tulips it would be a "tulipiere" of course... you could call it that...

Judi,
I can't even prounounce that word, I'm going to have to look that one up!
Today I tryed to think of another name but just can't at the moment. I'm sure some customers will come along and give me some good idea's.
By the way, I meant to ask you if you bought any of Julia's work at the workshop you did with her?jen
Ron,
Instead of coming up with a ton of circle names, you can just brainstorm on my flower block issue!
And I did see all those huge blocks of clay at NCECA. Did'nt you take a boat load of photo's of them? What the hell are those things??? Please tell me you are not going to waste your clay making solid blocks! Those of one of those "deep meaning" things I can just not wrap my brain around.j
