Epic dreams about school buses and canned food

Yesterday we went to open studio and I handled all five pitchers. The clay
was in much better shape, but pulling just wasn’t working, so I rolled
tapered snakes, whacked them into flats, evened them out a bit with a pony
roller, and used a nearly-dry sponge to round the edges. My fettling knife
went missing, so I used a pin tool to shape the ends. I didn’t try to blend
the handles into the body of the pot this time; we’ll see if that does
better or if they pop off as they dry.

After clay we went to the climate-sized giant eagle at the waterfront and
got sunflower seeds, cheese, sausage, lentil pasta, chips, soybeans, earth
balance, and chicken. Went directly to food when we got home, since by then
it was after three.

Arabella of Mars has a sequel! So I’m reading that.
