After the Storm






Hurricane Sandy has passed by.
Thank you so much for all those who sent me good wishes
and helped me make it through the storm.

It was a frightening night as the winds reached 81mph.
There was lightening in the clouds and the winds smelled briny
as they tore at the trees.

I lost power for a day; the store where I work was closed for three days.
There are still many people without electricity.
I was very lucky.

Today I took a drive back to the Goggleworks 
to pick up the tumbler I made last week.

On the way home I stopped for a walk around 
I filled my glass with wind before the first drink.
It may be a little lopsided but I'm so pleased!
Thanks Scott!

  1. phew
    + i bet the wind tastes better in a
    tumbler made with one's own hands
    (or is it mouth? )

    1. i knew you would understand!
      yes, as clay is made with your hands, glass is made with your breath...
      just had to fill it to the brim with wind!
      xo, j

  3. Glad to hear you have emerged relatively unscathed... but it does sound like a very frightening night!
    Your tumbler is beautiful - magnificent colour and captured swirling light.
