Always tap your shoes before putting them on in the morning. We found this dead scorpion in the telephone book in the drawer.
Perhaps you remember this live one I found in my moon bowl in the garage when I was glazing?
This started out as a tall bucket, then turned into a tall flower brick with handles. It looks a bit like a human form. I almost put some eye attachments but had them as triangles and they didn't work so I took them off.
Some things work and others don't. I relooked at this black one I made; it works much better, the oval shape and the flare of the top. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
not a bug I would like to find!
ReplyDeleteHi Meredith, thanks, I just hope I don't get bit by one, Gary finds them dead in the pool every day and scoops them out.
ReplyDeleteOK, that's too scary. I supposes that's one of the benefits of living in the Great White North? Of course, we have to suffer through months of winter...
ReplyDeleteHi Ronna, thanks, actually there aren't that many insects here, at least not as many as I expected. There were many more in Arkansas when we lived there which was farther north.
ReplyDeleteglad he was dead! i am still a little freaked out about the bugs in NC. hopefully the scary looking ones will not be in sight when my daughter visits at the end of the month... she is really afraid of bug.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, I find them interesting and really don't mind unless they are really poisonous to the point of serious harm to me. I had to study the when I became a landscape contractor so I learned a lot about them and learned to appreciate them for what they are and do, especially the pollinators.
ReplyDeleteThe scorpion brought me to your blog. I've already got stung twice this year. (Note to self shake out clothes, always wear flipflops and no clothes on the floor.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the clay work!
I love the last photo of dark vase!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I don't miss from Florida. Never got stung but saw a bunch.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I had a scorpion in my studio today too. He got vacuumed up.
ReplyDeleteI love the dark clay. Very nice forms :)
We may not have scorpions here in the north but we have deer ticks that can give you lyme disease--and it's a bugger!
ReplyDeleteBetter dead than alive when it comes to Scorpions! I'm thankful we don't have them here, but we do have plenty of roaches, mosquitos, and lizards! lol Love that black vase! Have a great weekend, cher!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we don't have them in Sweden. You do a lot of nice things that I like. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Janet, thanks, I need to get some flipflops, I've been going barefoot outside and in the garage, not too smart.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, that's the cassius basaltic clay, I need to make more of those flower brick forms.
Hi Ms. Sparrow, thanks, yes the ticks are terrible because of the lyme disease.
Hi Marguerite, thanks, yep better dead, not sure if they hurt if they bite but don't want to find out, thanks about the vase.
Hi Elna, thanks, I'm always dreaming up more things to make that's for sure.
Hi Patti, thanks, so far I am lucky not to have been bitten either, they are always in the pool and Gary scoops them out.
ReplyDeleteYour black vase is a beauty. I flew by the scorpion - yipes! Those things scare me.
ReplyDeleteHi Kittie, thanks, I need to make more vases like that one, the design is one I am fond of.
