Terrazzo





I am housesitting a lovely house at the moment with an awesome cat called Pablo. I think he likes the terrazzo floor as much as I do. Both Pablo's triangle marked nose area and the floor are inspiring new pieces for me. I am going to mix the pebble mix crystals with some of my paper clay...

Paper clay







I have been playing around with something called paper clay. You make paper pulp and mix it into your clay and it is meant to make it stronger, lighter and easier to work with. Messy process to match my messy workspace!

I was too impatient with my Pyramid though. His mouth led to his downfall and he is now a sloppy ball again ready to be re made. I thought I'd like to capture his brief existence.
