Hi, i'm back up and the sun is hazy today. I guess that means i have to leave the shutter open on my pinhole camera longer to expose the film. Yeah, the pinhole - i've got some pictures out of it and its fantastic. I guess i'm just as amazed as anyone else would be over this ceramic thing.

Enough of that tho, i mean i know you guys aren't really interested in storys about my pinhole camera <grinning> Lets see todays post is a cute little spring box titled Key Bowl. As i was finishing up this container there was a comedian on and she was talking about how shes a bit unorganized and how her husband tries to help her out with that. He came up with the Key Bowl so that she would have a place to put her keys when she got home. He would say "Now all you have to do is put your keys - IN the KEY BOWL"... she would pause then imitate her husband again "Keys in THE KEY BOWL" well i started crackin up and thought thats a pretty cute name and i can even draw an old fashioned hey hole on it. ~25

This has been glazed in Celedon, which i used to NOT appreciate (that is grammatically screwed up but in my brain i'm not sure how to fix that sentence) I like the color now i realize its really not as pale as i remembered it. Its a very neutral color a bit gray looking i suppose. Its a hard color for me to describe and usually i'm pretty good at my color descriptions. i know its sorta a sand color like when the water has washed over the shore and the sand looks a bit darker.

Oh yeah - i'm all late telling you guys this... but i decided i'd put this one in the Spot the Pot Shop!

Take Care,
rabbit
