Next week "13"
This first item is a photo of an original piece of Mexican Pottery. We bought it in Nogales, Old Mexico on the street. While we were visiting there once and shopping the streets and bartering with the peddlers, we stopped and watched a clay vase being made by hand with great skill and ease...and how the man made the rope within a blink of the eye for another one of his works that had been sun-dried...I had to have one. Notice how the rope is twisted, AND how the rope twists in and out the vase's handles. Then, if you're being really alert you can see the twisted table legs.
And this is a Patriotic acrylic "thing-a-m'bob" - a "whatcha-m-callit". It twists and spins in the breezes; stars and stripes, red white and blue.

A little bit more on my "Pay It Forward" recipients. Jenn received hers and blogged about it here, at Jenn's. Jenn, I'm really glad to know you liked what I sent!! And then, Ms. M at Greatfullivin received hers also. And she calls me psychic! Oh wow, she liked what she received too, and the colors for both ladies 'fit in' to their schemes!!! Cool!!! I tellya, I had so much fun with this Pay it Forward, I just may do it again real soon. The two ladies' blog entries about their gifts are linked with their names. My third blogging buddy is in England, so it'll take a while for her package to arrive. Hope it's a welcome treasure too!!! Patience Jo, next week sometime, hopefully, you'll receive yours too.

Jen at Jen's Chronicles informed me to go to her blog for a special gift. And she passed on this award, saying:
- "I think this award is to honor someone filled and radiating with compassion, concern and good...."
Thank you so much Jen. You know by my constant visits that I think you're super all the way around!!! Luvya bunches!!!

Nice twisted items, I love the hanging twist :) It's a pleasure watching it twist and swirl when the wind blows. Have a good weekend Anni!
ReplyDeleteAnni,
ReplyDeleteI love the vase that you used for your Photo Hunt twisted theme. The story behind it is so interesting and your thing a m' bob is delightful. They are so cute when they twist and twirl in the wind. Thanks so much for sharing.
I've visited both Jenn and Grateful Living and the things you sent them for the Pay it Forward are wonderful. How did you know their color schemes? LOL I'm beginning to agree you must be psychic.
Blessings for a fun and safe weekend.
Mary
PS. If Pea and I get to meet, I'm sure she'd agree you are welcome anytime.

What a beautiful vase. My daughter is a potter and I know how interesting it is to watch them throw a lump of clay on the wheel and turn it into such an amazing piece of art. Thanks again Anni, for the Pay it forward. Now that everyone has seen our lovelies they will all want to get in on it! Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteHi Anni! Both of those were pefect twisted photos. The vase looks lovely, and I must admit that I missed the twisted table legs until you pointed them out. Hope your weekend is grand! =)
ReplyDeleteI love the jar from Mexico. If I had bought it, of course it would've been broken by the time it got home. I'm glad it's safe. The rope adds to it a lot.
