'A potter can only mold the clay when it lies completely in his hand. It requires complete surrender.' - Corrie Ten Boom, 'God how we get our fingers in each other's clay. That's friendship - each playing the potter to see what shapes we can make of each other.' - Ray Bradbury, 'I dream in fire but work in clay.' - Arthur Machen, 'The realist sees reality as concrete. The optimist sees reality as clay.' - R Breault, spatially aware of wares
Bowing to public demand (just Professor Taboo), I am sharing my shop link, and shall add it in future to any new creations posted. A business creature I am not, and a pusher of wares onto followers neither, however, pottery is a big part of Esme’s life now, and I am proud to have reached a point where sales of creations are available, rather than filling up the Cloud’s vaults with it all.
The name – Natural Oblivion.

Seek and ye shall find.
Possibly.
This is one of my sold pieces from 2024, it was rather heavy, I’m lighter on my toes with the clay these days – beams
Esmeralda and The Cloud 
Nice piece of heavy art! Don’t let it drop from the clouds ☁️

🎩😄 Love it! You KNOW how to move my soul Esmerelda, my goodness & badness! 🤭
Yes, my new wife Sandy. We’ve known each other for 45+ years since university, freshman years for both, sitting next to each other in Western Civilization class. We both received D’s in the class because she was crushing on me big time! She’d talk, talk, whisper, whisper, write me notes of sweet nothings and innuendos that kept me laughing non-stop! Geeezzz, I was doomed from there onwards. Our lives took separate directions after graduation—that’s when I started my pro footballing career across 4 different continents. She was in Atlanta, GA and Chattanooga, TN.
We both began reconnecting last fall and it just… happened! It is so dayum easy to get along with her and she has the most magnificent sense of humour, like you Esme. 😉
Yes, August 8th, 2025, we did the “deed.” 🥰

I’m made up and tap dancing with glee to boot for you both! It was meant to be; we only truly know what we want, what we need and that which will make us truly content when we have some years under our belt I think. Somethings are worth waiting for. Xx ❤

Esme, Sandy and I have just perused your fine wares & crafts, and we have a special question/request…
How much would you charge for a Special Order from us that is wall art with a chubby, furry black cat with gold eyes—that’s her Bob—and my Steampunkery with it? We want to pay you for this, let us know your price. 🥰

Send me your email address again dear Prof, and we shall discuss the venture. Pop it in a comment here which I’ll not publish, of course.

You have some really nice things there. Are you located in the UK? I don’t know why, but I always assumed you were in the US.

Technically I’m in the troposphere on a Cloud and have a tail, however, I have a minion on Earth and she does dawdle in the British Isles.

I suppose I should have guessed — Britain is known for the amount of clouds it has.
