Today we (women) finished clearing and cleaning the host studio for the clay festival and the others (men young and older) had a day out returning the borrowed pottery wheels...a Boys' Day Out involving burgers and round doughnuts filled with cream....but they did bring enough back for everyone who didn't go!!
I'm managing to keep on drawing..even if they aren't brilliant and exact, it is something.
Also I've started putting ideas on paper...no excuse for forgetting inspiration!!
It has been raining for about half an hour.
We are in a rain shadow of a local mountain. Even the village centre only about 1 km away has been getting rain sprinkles over the weekend..and neither the home or festival got any.
Now there is flooding in Hamilton and hail in Tamahere, less than 5km away!
And we have had thunder and some much needed rain.
Friends with a dairy farm near Cambridge have no green grass on their paddocks, not too far from here. They bought the hay bales that had been used as seating in the festival from the committee.. luckily she is also a potter so could ask about them! Saved the committee the job of storing and selling.

I like your botanical studies. One of my cousins does (or did) very precise botanical illustrations by dots. I'd not have the persistence to finish even one such.
Yes, I have a cousin who does ,.and teaches.. botanical illustration..Laura Silburn. Her work is breathtaking and precise. Not the way I work at all!!
