Mushroom Wind Chime/香菇風鈴。

 Next Thursday, our community centre will hold an exhibition of all the art and handicrafts that are taught by all the available workshops. This is one of my pottery project, a mushroom wind chime. I'm a collector of wind chimes 'cos my aunty loves wind chimes and I used to follow her to shop for wind chimes from the provision shops in my hometown. I also like the sound of it when the wind blows but one of my friend doesn't like displaying my wind chimes. She once told me that, if the wind chime ever rings that means you've visitor, according to her the one that comes visiting is for the supernatural world or what my grandma used to called them 'The Yin People' (that is those who have already deceased). I think lots of people do believe in it but to me, I only like the sound of the wind chime. So, all are welcome to listen to the music it makes, be it yin or yang.

Last Batch Of Pottery For 2013

Last week we sent the last batch of our pottery to the kiln, and this is the last batch of pottery for our pottery workshop for 2013. Some of the pottery works were broken into pieces before they were fire due to the other workshop members who placed their wet umbrellas on top of our unfired work. It's a bit upsetting and the teacher said it was alright 'cos we can glue them back together if we still have  all the broken pieces. Next week will be the last lesson and also we will have Christmas morning tea gathering for all of us from the pottery, painting, sketching and weaving workshop fellow group participants. Each of us is asked to bring a plate, talking about bringing a plate. I've a friend who came over from Malaysia many years ago, he was invited to a gathering and was also asked to bring along a plate. He misunderstood the term 'bring a plate', so, he went to the supermarket and bought a stack of disposable plates and brought them along. When he arrived to the venue, then only he realized that he was suppose to bring a plate of food along. He was so embarrassed and I think he wouldn't forget the incident till the day he went to meet St. Peter. :)
