My Art

A couple of years ago, my friend Angela invited me to go to a pottery painting place with her one night. I wasn't particularly excited about it, but didn't want to stay home and be bored that night, so we went. I painted a plate with chili peppers on it, to go with a theme I had started in my kitchen. It turned out so well that I could hardly wait to go again. I think the next time I went was with my favorite cousin and his wife. Is that right, guys? That was also real fun.

Welp, since then, I've done quite a bit more in the whole pottery painting area. Made presents for some of you... many of you. And I've made a set of 4 plates and 4 bowls for myself. These are the bowls I made.

Check out the "zebra" on this one. Lol. Have you ever seen those poor donkeys in Tijuana that they paint like zebras? I hadn't until last summer when I spent a month down there. I went to TJ with Rosa - the pastor's wife - and she pointed them out to me. I kinda felt sorry for them, but it must not bother them too much. And apparently it's kind of a tradition - a stupid tourist tradition, but a tradition nonetheless to get your pic with one of these zebra painted donkeys while in Tijuana. Craziness. Don't ever let me pay money to get my pic on a donkey painted like a zebra. Anyhoo, that's why this one has the little zebra on it - lol!

I just wanted to show of how I spend some of my spare time. I know... I need a new hobby - lol.
