Productive Weekend in the Studio

I had quite a week. To start the week my computer's hard drive died. Then, while traveling across the state, my car died. After being stranded for almost two days, I was relieved to finally get back home to my daughter. To release my stress I spent most of my weekend in the studio. Today, I threw a dozen plates and finished carving the vase pictured below. The carving took me about about ten hours to finish.
