Allowing this piece to dry out and will be bisque firing early next week. I'm nervous to glaze, last experience with my previous piece, wasn't successful.  This is a symbolic self portrait for my intermediate ceramics class at Lake Tahoe Community College. I have been working a lot with Yin and Yang and I see these two characters as being symbolic as two sides of who I am. The eyes convey my absorption of my surroundings and the tree symbolizes my ability to stay rooted. We only have three weeks left in the quarter and today the farmers market starts up again so I am reeving up my summer engines and getting ready for my road trip in October and ready to start landscape painting with Dave Russo this Sunday. 

Cheers!
