One Million Cranes


I like this 12 inch square size. In my previous post you can see how this canvas started out. I can always paint over it, but some of the texture will be lost, I'll see. I'm going to have to take a trip to the thrift stores to see if I can get some more canvas. I have some more ideas about layers.

Please see Quoteflections post about school children folding a 1000 origami cranes to raise money for Japan. They hope to raise $1M by including other schools in the One Million Cranes project.

Also Handmade for Japan eBay pottery auction to raise money for Japan ends Sunday. Their goal was increased to $50,000 and they're almost there already.

A nice way to start the day reading about people helping people.

  1. The morning news was, as usual, dismal. So what an uplifting moment it was to read your post about people helping people. The real force of life remains with the quiet people of the world.

  6. Hi Wye, thanks for stopping by. I don't throw any of my pots - they are all hand built by either pinching, rolling a slab of clay and shaping or by coiling rolls of clay and putting them together. I highly recommend it, Clay is so much fun and very therapeutic for me.
