WOYWW

Happy "What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday" when we join the lovely Julia here baring what is on our desks be them clean, messy, creative or in this case my dining room table as I need to spread out for this task!

So, a couple weeks ago my ankles did their spectacular "oh we have had enough" and collapsed under me, gotta love Rheumatoid Arthritis!  I am fine, bruised to buggary but fine.  unlike my coffee table that I smashed into and broke-fixed that so all good.  BUT what really crushed me was smashing this bowl.

This is a bowl I made in the year 2000 at a pottery course I did for 3 years in our local college using bristol blue glass ground down to create a series of piece (I also made a clock that I still use every day) and it smashed into several pieces!

I decided to have a go at fixing it myself.  I thought I would take the japanese stance of embracing the flaws where they repair with gold to create a new piece but I didnt have gold so I used araldite glue!

 It is not perfect, BUT, it is on once piece (for the time being, only time will tell) and back on the coffee table in pride of place!

So what is on your desk this week? Why not join us using the link above and dare to bare!

Happy crafting

A new mug for my cuppa

A few weeks ago fellow Coven member Julie celebrated her 50th Birthday by having a pottery painting party!  It was brilliant, there was snacks, chatting and copious amounts of bubbly!!!

So when I recently picked up the piece I painted I was pleasantly surprised that my dotty mug (I applied the glaze with poundshop nail art tools!!) was actually quite good!  The sparkling bubbles didn't seem to affect my ability to apply the glaze too much!

It was a great idea and we all have a unique piece to remember the day.

I would recommend it to anyone thinking about what to do-so much fun.

Happy crafting
