Dragons be all around these days!

 Not sure where this first flying one came from into Facebook-land ... but what a gorgeous view.



Someone was very creative to make these dragon bookends.


My friend and fellow potter, Gary Rith made a dragon mug, and one with a unicorn!

I just put my 5th little one into the kiln with glaze on her. No. 6 is waiting to bisque. I haven't felt quite up to creating in clay for the last week or so. I have some big ideas stewing in my mind however!

I've always loved the Bosch detective stories, and listening to this one again has been enjoyable. I can stop the story any time my coughing interferes with the story. Incidentally, no dragons were harmed in the making of this book...indeed they are simply a reference to the Triad gangs from China. Those people were violent!

Dare I share dragons with Eileen's Saturday's Critters?


Hope you have a great week ahead!

      They are such a wonderful source of energy...and stories!

    I eventually watched Bosch on Prime. It was an okay series. Must have been okay because we watched it all, even the newer series.

      OK is good enough. I kind of liked the way Bosch was sometimes driven to solve things. But this book has a tricky last chapter. I knew going in that it would have some bangs happening to the plot (having read it before) but I listened to it in short spurts in order to assimilate the major changes that happened so fast. I don't like that in books.

    I love these! Especially those mugs. I used tobdoba dragon program with kids, and had several dragon puppets, all gone to the library now. There are so many good stories about dragons, and so many kinds of dragons!

      Somehow I've always thought they were kind of neat. Not at all lizard-like for me.

    Some cultures believe that having a dragon near your door will protect your home from evil.
