This "tetris" walnut bowl shows my recent fascination with extrusions. I’m planning to pursue this further. The first piece in this series sold quickly to a chemical engineer who liked it and kindly explained some principles of fluid dynamics to me. Armed with some knowledge of how the polymer clay is traveling down that cylinder, I’m anxious to experiment further.

Check the family list for Cher’s new email. Here’s a picture of the Picha clan at Christmas.
I never pictured Cher with a dog named Sheila but here she is…a charity case from a family who couldn’t keep her. All else seems well in Elmhurst.
Cher’s commercial site is http://Picha.unfranchise.com/ for those who missed out on the makeup session at Thanksgiving.

Here’s an update on our music room addition. The floor is in, Blair’s building the black shelves, drawers and window seats that will be installed in the front of the room.
At present it has a distinct dance hall look. That should fade some as Blair adds the cabinetry and I start reinstalling the artwork, books and computer.
All in all a fun project that makes the house seem much larger and the space much more inviting.
In case you missed our last boast, here’s a picture of the redone "casbah" bathroom complete with polymer-inlaid walnut bowl sink and copper tub surround. We let our imaginations run wild in this little bathroom and it’s turned out to be a fabulous place to take a candlelit bath.
And here’s the link back to the beginning of the renovation.
