We planted these garlic cloves in November. I went to our neighborhood Harris Teeter and bought about 8 heads of organic garlic. We planted each peeled clove individually and then covered them with straw and leaves. We pulled part of our harvest early, but you usually wait until the scape rises and curls into a "pig's tail" before pulling. Now, they are hanging in bunches of three in an area with good ventilation (which is our living room and clay area). Imagine the smell!

On Saturday morning, I drew some cornflowers I had picked from our old well. I am going to laminate these separately and create a template for a slip inlay technique similar to potter Molly Hatch. I've been reading and re-reading her article in the Pottery Making Illustrated journal (Nov/Dec 2009) to make sure I've got everything right.

Closed forms that will be cut open after leather hard.
I will also throw a lid knob directly on the piece.
