Making magnets has me loving playing with clay again. Also, given that I over used my arms trimming our hedges my weakened muscles are killing the sensitivity in my drawing hand. It has been a totally unexpected outcome of yard work. Although, lesson learned, time to work out more and keep my strength up.

Back to the clay, every year I make ornaments out of clay and I find a lot of pleasure in it. I have considered a few times whether or not I want to use it in my illustration. This is me exploring again.

Watch out old man in a hat!
