Yesterday was a trip to Hobart rather later in the day than usual - I had an Art Exhibition opening to go to being hosted by a friend. She is a ceramicist which sounds fairly uninspiring I realise, but she does amazing stuff with found objects and thinly rolled clay cut out with cookie cutters then rolled onto textured surfaces of bark and shells. The glaze might be anything from Raku to none. My purchase (oooops) was a 'Dystopian Dream Catcher' with the ring formed from a bit of old reinforcing rod, suspended from  a spring that may once have added bounce to a trampoline. The circle is divided by two strands of rusted barbed wire that has survived two bushfires, and from this, suspended from fish hooks is a flock of birds. Pretty from a distance and disturbing close up - it will look wonderful over the fire place once the lounge is finished.

I had a beer at the opening and after getting in the car concluded a cup of tea would not go astray so lobbed into Barbara's house with no notice and received refreshment and conversation before heading home.

Today was the spinning group - only four of us today but quite a few visitors to the Supreme Court building, many of whom dropped by for a chat and to admire our work
