Everyone we know in Germany is getting a chicken for the holidays, because there's something comforting about creating a flock of cheerful chickens when you're living an ocean away from your well-equipped community pottery studio back home. In case you're wondering, the photos demonstrate that to make a chicken, you have to start with an egg.The recycled clay this evening had clumps of unidentifiable black leathery crud in it, and there were many casualties among the eggs on the ancient 33 rpm Shimpo wheel as a result. From a bad egg comes a contaminated chicken, and who wants a chicken with a hole blasted through it due to exploding organic crud? No one, that's who.
Excellent! Germany for sure needs more chickens - especially ones like yours that are such good tourists. Shame about the schmutz, though...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Maybe I'll take them up the Muenster tower or something before dispersing the flock.
