September 10th seems like a long time away doesn't it? Oh, I saw on Jeffrey of Clean Mud's blog that he made a home made wheel - he will be posting how to make it soon. If I threw I'd try to make one, but hand building is all I'm doing for now. Why don't you try some hand building? It sure is fun. I look forward to seeing your pots in use.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-39143811649021563462009-08-26T22:24:28.562-04:002009-08-26T22:24:28.562-04:00great idea.

I haven't taken many photos of my pots in use and now since it looks like I can't be in the community studio at the wheel until September 10 I need SOMETHING to pass the time. So, I think I'll work in this direction.

Funny ...Hi Sandi, welcome and thanks about my pots. Funny I read Whistle Stop Cafe and I immediately thought of my husband's years of truck driving and his stories about all the great cafes around the country and then I also thought about my grandmother and Aunt Ethel who ran a cafe in Corpus Christie years ago which they told me all about years later. I just very briefly got on your blog and I was facinated about the family stories, the recipes and loved that painted bench which inspired me to do something in clay. I am bookmarking your blog and need to check your other blog and I hope you come back to visit.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-13257317754869081902009-08-25T00:09:49.559-04:002009-08-25T00:09:49.559-04:00Hi Peter, what a great story about the cat and the...Hi Peter, what a great story about the cat and the wine bottle; I must go back and check your post about the porridge. Your cat story has reminded me of a childhood story about cats, but I will save it for a series of posts I hope to do about A Child's View of Cuba (mine of course). Thanks so much for your support and for your comments, posts, and stories, I so look forward to reading them.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-63050451004366417862009-08-24T22:32:49.657-04:002009-08-24T22:32:49.657-04:00The pots are beautiful... and look very 'usefu...The pots are beautiful... and look very 'useful'~ great idea for a post.Sandi @the WhistleStop Cafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113437420890699732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-34887328832848067542009-08-24T02:43:40.832-04:002009-08-24T02:43:40.832-04:00Hi Linda, Thanks for that and also for your commen...Hi Linda, Thanks for that and also for your comment on my site. I suddenly remembered this very afternoon that I did put a photo of a bowl of mine full of porridge on a post on February 28 2009, that was entitled, "Reduction, Salt, and Porridge." you should be able to find it at http://opopots.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html This post also contains my recipe for a sustaining snack I occasionally make for myself, either at home, or when out camping.<br /><br />Good luck with the kittens and mother cat. It is sad how people will just dump them, and leave them to fend for themselves. <br /><br />The first cat that came to live with me after I left home and had my own flat was a starving about to be mother cat. She was a beautiful and lovely friend and gave birth to 8 healthy kittens. When she was ready to give birth she vanished for a couple of days, then woke me early one morning and took me to see the kittens which she had arranged for my inspection two deep around an old wine bottle that was in my bathroom! It was a very funny sight as the kittens were so new that they were all wobbly on their feet.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-57166180993917530232009-08-23T19:26:38.112-04:002009-08-23T19:26:38.112-04:00Hi Cynthia, thanks so much.

Ikebana is actually so easy to do and is "minimalist" too.<br /><br />Hi Peter, thanks so much, I can just picture you feeding the cats around your place in one of your beautiful bowls. And who knows if a cat doesn't feel extra special eating out of a handmade pot. Photos of pots in use is food for thought (so to speak) so another time maybe. <br /><br />I found 4 more starving kittens and the mother cat in my barn today and I am feeding them and giving them water. They are actually tame, I believe the mother belongs to one of our neighbors who doesn't take care of them at all, so I guess the mother thought to come here for a better chance at life for herself and her little ones.<br /><br />I will check Kitty's post, thanks so much.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-43418554522821967302009-08-23T17:01:17.430-04:002009-08-23T17:01:17.430-04:00Hi Linda, a lovely post. Mmmmm Jelly Palm fruit ...Hi Linda, a lovely post. Mmmmm Jelly Palm fruit looks yummy. I've never seen it before, but it sounds really nice! As I've been reading your blog I have been eating my porridge out of one of my bowls, drinking coffee out of one of my mugs, and have recently been feeding our neighbour's cats out of more of my bowls. A friend visited yesterday and said, "Hey, what's that beautiful bowl doing on your driveway?" I explained that I had just been feeding a cat and suggested that feeding a cat from a beautiful bowl might encourage it to appreciate the finer things in life, such as the pretty plum blossom that is coming out on our trees, and beauty might add to the quality of the cat's life! Well it is a thought. A Dutch friend of mine hung a photograph of a very attractive female cat beside his Tom cat's food bowl, as he thought it would help his cat enjoy his food more! Anyway, I would have rushed out and taken some photos of my bowls that are dotted around the place, but.... my batteries are charging (my camera's that is!), so it will have to wait. But, I will do something really soon.<br /><br />P.S. I see that Kitty has posted some photos for you on her site that show how she frames tiles for displaying them.<br /><br />Best Wishes, P.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-50607775522846722352009-08-23T14:23:48.393-04:002009-08-23T14:23:48.393-04:00The ikebana are lovely, Linda!

I hope I'm not falling too far from the tree on this, but I feel strongly about showing pottery in use, whether it be in the kitchen, the garden, or as art on the wall, in the garden etc. Artists make their work because they are artists, but they also need to sell their art to continue on their artisic path. <br /><br />Hi Judy, thanks so much for your support of my art and my blog, I was happy to see the coincidence of your posting on facebook about your lunch in another's artist's bowl, wish I had a photo of your lunch to reflect upon.
