I'm down to using my tablet (nook) and can hear Mercury snickering as I hunt and peck my words on this incredibly tiny keyboard.

These are small---around 5" in diameter---so they are light in weight. As to the rain---I made some cloud plates out of porcelain with thinner edges---maybe if I put them out in the garden they will catch some fleeting rain drops!<br /><br />Charlene Doiron Reinharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645689953689581574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101338649526821749.post-84241444210274361452014-10-21T05:30:52.517-07:002014-10-21T05:30:52.517-07:00It's sad to think of all the plants suffering ...It's sad to think of all the plants suffering without rain isn't it, I hope the West gets some rain soon and a gentle rain to soak into the earth and save the plants waiting. I am surprised at how thick your plates are but then again not, I tend to make mine too thin and then they warp. What a fun way to usher in the autumn with brush strokes. I love the combination on the last plate with the orange and black, this time of year those terra cotta colors just seem right.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.com
