Claying Away....

I was that kid who is always covered in mud and who will always be on a heap of soil/mud/sand, digging away....who will always have black finger nails with mud filled in it....I was the kid who loves to play in soil/mud/sand....who loves to build castles....who loves the coldness thats hiding in the depths....:)
I love everything earthen....I love the look, touch and feel of it all....thats what inspired me to take up Pottery....I wanted to start with the Wheel Throwing....as it is classy and glamorous....most of the Romantic movies have the wheel....remember "Ghost" and the amazing song....Unchained Melody....Oh, my love.... :) ....But my instructor convinced me to start with Hand Building to get a feel of it....and I agreed....I took my first class almost 2 years ago and I loved every moment of it....I was facinated by my creativity and by my amazing creations....it was a load shedding "My" time....I loved it all....I became the amature Potter.

Finally after such a long time I decided to get back to it....and I love it all the same....:)

I love making things that are Earthen and Beautiful....A frd who is taking the class with me keeps wondering....how the hell did i manage to stay away from this for so long when I am so much into this....when I love it so so much....I dont know....

My best creation so far is the "Ganesha". Attached is the pic of the "Ganesha" in making....
