our big papi had a great father’s day!
we slept in, had a yummy lunch, laid by the pool, watched movies, played games with the kids, and had a yummy dinner. and, we pretty much snuggled all day.
kiana, myla, kj, and sela all spoiled papi with gifts. this year, kiana and myla used their very own money {saved allowance, etc.} to buy their papi’s gifts. i was so impressed, and i think they loved the shopping all the more since they were really buying the gifts! kiana chose a new ‘balance opposites ruca shirt.’ myla chose the patriotic Boston hat Dusty is wearing…

the final project, if inspired by an abstract or painterly artist, we had to complete a series of their works, my final pieces were a collection inspired by paule’ marrot, here. here. here.

one evening when i was in the studio putting in overtime hours, i had a senior ceramics student tell me i was going way too fast.
so, i slowed things down.

isn’t that how life works?
sometimes we just need to slow down.
photos of all my projects from the class:
my complete collection.
my professor told me i was the first student to ever use only one color of glaze for all of my projects.
