I go into town to the local bakery/coffee shop with my tablet. For some reason I have difficulty with leaving comments at blogs. The last time I brought my laptop thinking that might work better! So I was very puzzled when it didn't! Thank you for letting me know and for all the kind words. I am still parting company with this clay for sculptural work. It was good to finish it. I have another piece done in it drying.

I now find myself going back to clays which have lain long forgotten, as my tastes and needs change. Always worth hanging onto things if you have the space :) Your sculpture is amazing, she possesses an ineffable beauty. I always wonder what they might be thinking or dreaming about..<br /><br />ps. I'm really sorry for missing you recent comments on my blog, due to it not being sent to my current e-mail address. Have now published them, thanks so much :)Mark Smalleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087646142136111397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101338649526821749.post-771295008047755782014-04-30T12:56:11.431-07:002014-04-30T12:56:11.431-07:00Oh, there are more animals (deer and sheep) around...Oh, there are more animals (deer and sheep) around the back...it is a circle of life...how you make me smile---I can see those birds!

It is a dream to wedge, too. As to this clay menagerie, I hope it is done by the end of this month. Right now it is drying along with a fellow sculpture made with the same clay.

Older, more mature and happier to comply.<br />I know the feeling :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101338649526821749.post-80642620040695995392014-04-29T04:09:38.560-07:002014-04-29T04:09:38.560-07:00She is so lovely!
