Wow. It has been several days since I posted. I was starting to wig out a bit. Camping was awesome. I am rejuvenated and back in gear with my clay. Oh my goodness, the 100 days is almost up, but fear not, I am a clayer for the long haul. I was hooked by day

I despise flash on my camera, which is what I get for waiting til dark to photograph today’s clay creation; a washed out version of the real deal. That said, FAITH is one of my favorite words. Jesus had a thing or 2 to say about it. Whenever Jesus begins with the phrase “I tell

Back to clay after a bottle cap pendant adventure. Still playing with paper on clay. I think this effect is adorable. On the topic of trust, the Bible tells us much… Psalm 9:10Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 20:7Some trust in
