These are the two paper-clay figurines I made at home. They dried and I was content. I took them, carefully wrapped, in my bike basket to the pottery club and when I undid them from all the bubble wrap they both had one broken leg. Arggghhh. I fixed it the best I could but my doctor skills leave a bit to wish for and now their legs are quite a bit shorter than before. The little guy on the right doesn't seem to be happy with the situation at all. Two hands firmly placed on his sides. As if he knew what would happen to him.This week I also planted some herbs and vegetables. I put them in pots for now as I don't really have a green thumb and this way I can manage them better. Every morning they receive a little encouraging talk and a splash of water to give them a good start of the day. I hope that one day I can show you a picture of overgrown pots with thriving plants. You never know.

Oh they're so cute, your little clay fellas. I can imagine they would even look nice with only one leg (I have a soft spot for the not so perfect creatures, hehe)
Kim- haha...we can shake hands as I also like 'the wonky' ones...now 'duimen' that they stay well during firing.
