Pottery #29 - Kyoto Acquisitions

.

This is going back quite a few years ago. The 'avocado' vessel and the three 

legged bud vase were purchased at one of the numerous high quality museum 

shops in Kyoto, and the plate, signed at the back simply as 'HIROKA' (usually the 

common female version of name spells Hiroko, but unfortunately I failed to make 

note of the potter's details, so I don't know anything about him/her), found at the 

artist's solo exhibition. I'd love to know, but I don't, how the lines on the platter 

were created: it looks like they'd been drawn by hand, and the close-ups show 

frequent bubbles in the markings, but what does that indicate, I wouldn't know...

Since I took a new route today, I was quite inspired by all the fresh opportunities 

for photos. This is the second one after the roadkill post (here) - about objects in 

my favourite colour:

Today's Walk - Roadkill

.

On my walk today I came across an unusual number of roadkill (I did take a 

different route to my normal ones): two snakes, a possum, and a bird.

Today's Walk - The Bleeds

...

Resin, sap, blood, vampires?

…from Wikipedia: Telyavelic Tremere:

…The Telyavs can sense a mystical emanation from the land called Siela, the part of the spirit that remains bound to the 

world after death and also inhabits plant and animal life. The gives the Telyavs rules for a unique Thaumaturgical path 

based on combining their vitae (vampiric blood) with the soil, tree sap, and the blood of animals to produce a variety of 

effects. In addition, their deliberate closeness the vis-rich soil enables Telyav players to draw upon the metamorphic 

aspects of their character's Tzimisce blood.

Today's Walk - The Blues

Walking Blues

Robert Johnson, Paul Butterfield

Woke up this morning I looked 'round for my shoes

You know I had those mean old walking blues

Yeah, I woke up this morning I looked 'round for my shoes

Girl, I had those, ooh, mean old walking blues

Some people tell me that worried blues ain't bad

It's the worst old feeling I ever had

People tell me that worried blues ain't bad

It's the worst old feeling, ooh child, I ever had

Looks run to the ocean and the ocean runs to the sea

If I don't find my baby, don't bury me

Look to the ocean and the ocean went to the sea

Yeah, if I don't find my baby, ooh yeah, don't bury me

Minutes seem like hours and hours seem like days

Since my baby started her low down ways, yeah

Minutes seem like hours and hours seem like days

Since my baby, ooh, started her low down ways

I woke up this morning, people, I looked 'round for my shoes

You know I had those mean old walking blues

Yeah, I woke up this morning I looked 'round for my shoes

Yeah, you know I had those, ooh, mean old walking blues
