A little heart for a sweet friend


Here is a little something I made for one of my friends...It is about the 5th attempt... all the others ( the clay hearts, not friends ! ) were met by some sad fate or other...including one being stepped on by the dog...I put it out on the deck step to dry and he had to stand right there...he has all the garden yet he chooses to stand in the corner!!! By the time I got to this one I was running out of both patience and clay, so I am ignoring the fact that I put the lacquer on too soon after doing the writing, thus smudging it lol. I am trying to be less of a perfectionist anyway so this is good practice...and I am telling myself the odd mistake here and there makes it look made by an individual for an individual, rather than mass produced by a stranger for a stranger!

Doxie :o)
