Work In Progress Fridays #1

There's a lot going on this friday: work in progress, colorweek...I'll post my color pictures later today, maybe even tomorrow. They are all from a walk we went on last night. There was red everywhere...but this picture is from a little clay time at home this morning. Stoneware buttons are coming, slowly...
In the end, it was only Emma who finished something. I gave her some clay to work with and she fashioned several different things--a turtle, a rock, and finally settled on a bird's nest with "four eggs that the mommy lied" (that's how she says it, everything "lies babies" around here.) Now the nest is out drying in the sun. I think I'll fire it and glaze it for her. She also took this picture for me, even turned on the camera, put it in macro and turned off the flash, with only a little guidance from me. I don't think my mom can even do that yet with her digital camera!  sorry, mom.

Happy Birthday to my Dad...I'm off to work on some consumable gifts for tonight's big affair...Love you, Daddy.
