Thanks Blue. Going to work on a replacement pot for you.

Thanks, Cap. I superglued the original but I don't have snything in it yet.

I put part of my garden pagoda in the kiln on Thursday! Can hardly wait to see it. Hope it didn't blow up, the clay was quite thick to support the other pieces.
Photo below is the piece I put in the kiln.

This is such a cool design! Do your creations just pop out of your head, or do you get inspiration somewhere? Do you ever see designs or concepts in dreams? I'm just wondering about your creative process. Do you have a complete vision of the work in mind when you begin, or do the designs grow as you work?

Thank you, sometimes I get inspirations, sometimes I might see a photo, at times, things just occur to me as I build. Often things may turn out bigger than I planned! Also, I have had ideas during dreams. But I need to catch the dream thought before I do anything because I am easily distracted, lol.

Fascinating! Do you keep a notebook beside your bed? Sketchbook, perhaps?

No, I just run through my brain for ideas before I get out of bed and really wake up. I found a plastic flying saucer today at Goodwill for the top of my pagoda.

I have dreams and ideas when I almost wake up, but as soon as I'm completely awake, *poof* they are gone. I have to write them down immediately before I'm fully awake or they're gone forever.

It might be a good idea to put a notebook there. One night I was dreaming about making ceramic joints for sculptures.

That could be interesting!
