Hollow Ancient Eyes (https://www.haldecraft.com/pr Hollow Ancient Eyes (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/hollow-ancient-eyes). The old man on the corner, sign in hand. The bundled old woman in the cold, no longer even caring that people walk past her. Times are hard. You shrug, you walk past, deliberately not seeing. Even people in your own life that you never have time to call, never have time to really talk with, never have time to visit. What would you see if you made eye contact with those hollow, ancient, cataract-ridden, lonely eyes? What gift would you be giving someone to just say hello, to hear them? To hold space for them for even just a moment? How less lonely would they feel? Would you feel?
Inspired by Spanish and Mexican majolica and talav Inspired by Spanish and Mexican majolica and talavera, these plates (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/colorful-plate) are going to appeal to anyone with a love for color! These are handpainted and each one will be a little bit different depending on color placement and base glazed used.

Lorena November 27, 2013 My Random LifeLeave a comment

Monday was spent in the car. We left Asheville after breakfast and with a ten hour drive if we made no stops, we were ready for a long day (as we did have stops planned). Speaking of stops, here’s a tip — if you’re ever driving through London, Kentucky, and …

Sunday, November 24th

Lorena November 26, 2013 My Random Life2 Comments

Sunday morning we got up and went over to the McDonald’s for breakfast. Sure, there was a continental breakfast in the hotel, but the hotel didn’t have a floor-to-ceiling double-sided fireplace, and a baby grand piano in the corner. I KNOW, RIGHT? I only eat at McDonald’s about once every …

Lorena November 25, 2013 My Random LifeLeave a comment

Day one! We hit the road as early as we could, hoping to be in North Carolina by dinner time, in case Cetty could get away from the hospital for a bit for dinner. I don’t think I’ve told the story because this all happened so quickly; Tim and I …

Speaking of vacation knitting

Lorena November 21, 2013 Uncategorized9 Comments

Imma finish this bitch while on vacation, even though I can’t look at it without wanting to set it on fire. I started it in October of 2010 and I swear it’s cursed. The whole time I was working on it I was afraid it was too small. It turns …

I don’t even remember how to do this “vacation” thing

Lorena November 21, 2013 Navel GazingLeave a comment

I sort of vaguely remember that years and years ago, we used to go away for Thanksgiving every year. 2002…. 2003 we stayed home but that was because we’d just gone up two months before for our second wedding reception… 2004 (AKA “The Year with the Best Snow”)… 2005 (AKA “The …

Clay in my fingers

Lorena November 18, 2013 Ceramics / HaldeCraft ceramicsLeave a comment

The last couple of weeks have been all about ceramics, or at least as much as I can get it about ceramics with also dyeing yarn and making soap. GLAM is coming! GLAM is coming! I’ve dyed all the yarn I’m going to dye (I probably won’t even have time …

Lorena November 16, 2013 Shop Updates / YarnLeave a comment

You can probably tell from my radio silence but things have been busy lately. This last week I’ve had some help in the studio (from my friend Rhea, and check out her Etsy shop, TuesdayTutus, for gorgeous bags and of course tutus!) and her mad yarn winding skills mean that …

Working on my post-apocalypse skill set

Lorena November 15, 2013 My Random LifeOne Comment

Corn, potato, and bacon chowder I made from scratch, in a bowl I made myself, wearing PJs I sewed myself, and socks I hand-knit. And as Gardner said on Facebook, “She stitched the dog together out of parts too.” — too bad I didn’t have enough parts for all four …

Figure out where you want to be, and go there.

Lorena November 14, 2013 Navel GazingOne Comment

I’ve always had this strange ability to, when lost in my own head, to envision where it is I want to be and go there. Sort of like, if you’ve read the Amber books by Roger Zelazny….? And when Corwin and his family walk the pattern and get to the …
