HAPPY EASTER!!!
Kev and I went with our very good friends, Amy and Justin Webster to this very chic, Buddhist-y, new age-y, organic restaurant called The Inn at the Seventh Ray (not to be confused with the nude dancing Seven Veils club in Hollywood). Amy, being a very swank chic herself, along with her equally swank and debonair husband have frequented the joint a few times before. But it was our first and it was dee-lightful.

Okay, this is my plate!! LOL. I lost control halfway thru the buffet and just started trying everything. I was STARVING so I took a little more than I should have, but I did pretty good. The FOOD WAS AMAZING organic gourmet fantastic fare. AND a woman caught herself on fire while we were there so we had entertainment to boot.... the hysterics of a klutz with the music of Enya in the background.
Good Stuff.

Ahhh, the lovely couple

From our porch we can see the sunrise to the left and at night, the sunset to the right. I am up early ONLY when I have to be at work, and (sigh) on Thursdays I am there early. I was sleepy and puffy drinking my coffee trying to wake up when I saw the sun come up.

It has been raining today at the beach and Buster and I fell asleep listening to the waves outside with a fire going. I got up for a MINUTE and he was, well, put out. I thought it was a cute pic.

This is a greenware wind chime that is also being fired right now. It is Inuit design of a killer whale.

Nicknamed Jabba the Hut by my best friend (ahem) Andrea, this is an impromptu version of The Buddha laughing, which is what all Buddhas do. We laugh.

This is a greenware mask that is in the process right now of being fired into bisque. I think I will use stain and not glaze for this one.

Mask #1

This mask was my version of a wind/forest God. The leaves, which are hard to see have been carved and there is a mix of matte and high gloss glaze. I used wax to have the glaze "crawl" around the leaves.

This piece was an assignment from Gerry my instructor to create a mask about the primordial Universe. So this is a face with different animal parts but the parts making a whole; A Hawk's nose, 2 fish swimming for an eye, a cat's eye and ear, a shark's gill, and man's tongue and mouth. Voila, all one in the Universe.
