dew-drenched earlier than usual this morning, the dew soaked my feet, my trousers, and the dogs. it was very pretty though. cool airs and mistiness there were a few hares about, but the deer kept hidden, and I kept T on the lead mostly after the last two days bad behaviour. she is very easy on the lead, typical laid-back lurcher. apparently I have missed the best of the bluebells. it will have to wait until next year. but the cow parsley makes up for it. I tried another new clay today, Earthstone’s terracotta crank. I suspect it won’t work at my firing temperatures, but its really nice to make pots with, not nearly as coarse as the black crank. I am going to mix it with the stoneware crank and reclaim stuff, hopefully that will work out temperature-wise. but if it doesn’t bloat at high temperatures I should get an interesting purple colour. three pots I made with it today. potted out three little cherry tomato plants and eleven broad bean plants into big plastic pots today. I do all my vegetable gardening in pots. Post navigation black claybarley brushes 3 Comments (((Jane))) I just caught up on your blog. I don’t have the energy to comment in detail right now (it’s after 3 am where I am. lol), but I just wanted to let you know again how much I enjoy reading it and seeing the beautiful pictures of your walks and the pots, etc. It’s so nice and relaxing! Just lovely. And also fascinating to learn about! Reply That one foto of the woods looks like a painting, it’s beautiful. Reply ooh, thanks both of you! I have more pretty woodland photos to post tomorrow Reply Leave a ReplyCancel reply This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.
