She is off to India...

Zoë visited me for a bit before she left for India today. During her stay we did the usual: cook awesome food, drink a lot of coffee, sauna, wander, and she even painted on some of my ceramics (coming soon.) Below is the night we made Japanese food, it was amazing, and the third setting was for our friend Anthony. 

 

We had to go to a few favorite places, including the Yellow Deli. You should see their awesome bus and ship!

 

And the Autumn Cafe...

Jenna dyed Zoë's hair, and a pakistani girl at school thought she was indian when she wore her salwar kameez.

We drank tea by the lake while we waited for the sauna to get hot.

 

And now she is off to India...

You can follow Zoë's adventures on her blog.

Teaware

Not that you don't hear enough about tea on this blog, but...

I made a bunch of teaware. There's not too much to say about it. I worked really hard and experimented with a lot of different construction methods and styles. Things did not turn out as I expected but these are my first cups and teapots.

This is a partially Chinese and partially Japanese style teapot.

After completion I saw this at the Met, I am almost there. I like the loops designed for a bamboo handle, something I will do next time.
