Gracie's ingenious idea for a plate
just had to put this on here. this morning i went out on the deck and there was a big stick that one of the kids found in the yard yesterday. I of course instantly think pottery (it was a cool stick!) and want to know where it came from. gracie waves her hand around and says "oh, out in the yard somewhere." i should say here that we have 3 1/2 acres. i tell her i want to know because i think it'd make a cool handle for a pot. she says, all excited "OH, i've got a great idea for some pottery mom! you can make a plate, and put a big hole in the bottom! that way any liquid or greasey stuff can drain off!" (must discuss functionality w/ this child some time) "THEN, when your not using the plate you can put it on this big stick!!" all said just bubbling w/ enthusiasm lol. gotta love the girl. now off to fire the bisque kiln.

ReplyDeleteI loved the part with the greasey suff draining off the plate- it could be a great idea for wheight watchers...
ReplyDeleteGee I missed several posts here, love the handle on your teapot, so beautiful and the casseroles are very nicely done, pot on a stick, is that anything like a hotdog on a stick? te he, Gracie is so creative - a new invention a grease collander.
ReplyDeletehi gary, yes, she's envisioning a whole slew of them lined up on the stick lol
ReplyDeletehey varda, isn't that just too funny, i asked where the grease would be and she said 'in the trash of course!'
thanks linda, can't wait for my next glaze fire, hope it all turns out. gracie's dying to get her hands on my clay again, told her when my studio's set up she can play all she wants, can't wait to see what she comes up w/!
Maybe she'll make a plate with a hole in it?! Hehehe, kids come out with the funniest things don't they? :)
