Flat Stanley

Flat Stanley came to visit our house.  I took him to work and took a ton of pictures.  Here is one where he got into the lesson on fractals.
I have been working on a large blanket so no new finished crochet to show.  Several of my pottery items have blown up in the kiln so no new pottery to show.  It may seem like I haven't done anything for a while, but between work and things not quite finished there isn't a lot to share.

I made a headband using a a stitch from

I modified it to just go in a circle and to have the strawberries closer together.

I wanted to see what would happen if I put underglaze on greenware .  Elaine gave me a bunch of underglaze to play with.  This wasn't glazed at all but the color turned out shiny like glaze.  The dark to light gradient was also intentional.

This is a little planter (hole in the bottom of the cup.

Small pie plates to make individual pies with.  The sad thing is the clear glaze is on too gloppy so the black isn't all black.  It was supposed to be cow pattern.

It's rainy here in Hillsboro. I'm told to get used to it.

Jello mold of Millennium Falcon and R2D2 for a church party.

I wonder if I could somehow mold a hollow one with clay to make a cover for a R2D2 shaped tray.
