Art Journalling and Clay Workshops

During the week I continued working on 

the Food page. It took me a bit to work out 

what I need to "say" but it was quite therapeutic

working on it and I'm pleased to have journalled

a little bit about my eating disorder journey.

 I joined to sheets of paper and fold them like

cupboard doors, they open out from the centre.

Wording on the left describes the battle...

..and on the right, are what have got me through.

 Colours are a bit wacky sorry but you get the gist...

So, this weeks page theme was "REST" and after

 a difficult topic (for me) the previous week, the 

thought of thinking about a working on a journal

 page about resting was much more "up my alley"

I worked some more on this on Wednesday but yet

 to photograph the pages. More pics to come soon...

Then Tuesday Morning with the Casual Clay Group.

I wasn't actually planning on going (as Monday had 

messed with my head and I was quite weepy!) 

but the ladies there were so nice as encouraging.

One of the potters gave me some of her clay to

experiment with and though everything I tried ended 

up a being a disappointment to me I did manage

 to be satisfied with this fluted bowl...

One of the others had a nice book about

 pottery techniques that I had a look through. 

I had a look for it's availability on the internet and though

 I can purchase it from Fishpond, it's currently

 out-of-stock. It would be a great resource to have.
