Pottery Update ....A Star fish bowl for my bathroom and a lovely Kitchen Paper towel holder

Picture
Yours truly having a photo taken on orders from my Pottery teacher ...holding my large Sea and Starfish bowl I made for our bathroom.
Picture
I am super happy with it ...it was difficult to photograph with all the colors ...the best photo of it is the one with me holding it.
Picture
Picture
It took approximately 18 hours just to glaze it ..there were so many layers and different glazes underneath the finished glaze ...see how different it looked when I glazed it to when it was finished and came out of the kiln.
Picture
I wanted the underneath to be just as exciting ..and I wanted it too look like the deep sea with lots of seaweed ...I am thrilled how it turned out ..
Picture
I love how cute the feet are.
Picture
Picture
My hairdresser has asked me to make her a similar bowl but she just wants it white ..no patterns or carvings but wavy like this one ..same size ..same feet ....but all white so I shall start to make that ...then I am going to make soap dishes, Q tip holders, toothbrush holder and a bucket to hold rolled up facecloths for our bathroom with all the colors I made this bowl.

Here is my unique and I think very classy Paper towel holder.
I love how this turned out 
It works perfectly and I made it to hold a large roll.
It just looks perfect in our kitchen 
Super happy with it ..I have included a photo to the left of it when I had just glazed it and it was ready for the kiln
Super fun to make,
I have already made a 'finial' for the top of the wooden pole
Danny has a new pole for me and I am going to attach a 'Sun face' finial to the top of it ..like the ones on the holder below
I am just waiting for it to go in the kiln

Trudy's Creamy Sweet Macaroni Salad ....Yummy 

Picture
Trudy a long time reader of my blog gave me this lovely and very yummy Macaroni Salad recipe.
So I thought I would share it with all of you
I made it for our meal on the 4th July 
I think it will make a great side to our grilled steaks, baked potato and Danny's special baked beans

Trudy's Creamy Sweet Macaroni Salad 

Ingredients:

16 ounces Macaroni Elbows
1 15 ounce can of sweet peas  ( I used frozen and put them in the microwave for 5 minutes then popped them in ice cold water to keep their color)
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced   ( I used a Vidalia onion as Danny doesn't like red onion)
3 green onions, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped (1 1/2 cups -glass measure)
2 tablespoons finally chopped parsley


Dressing:

1/2 cup mayo
1/3 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard (I used Publix's Stone Ground Dijon Mustard)
2 tablespoons honey ( I used wild flower honey)
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon back pepper or to taste ( I used freshly ground multi colored peppercorns)

Instructions:

Boil Macaroni noodles in salted water until tender ..about 10 minutes, 
Drain and run under cold water.
In large bowl combine noodles, red peppers, sweet peas, red onions, green onions, parsley and celery

Whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth.
Poor over noodles and veggies and toss to combine

Serve immediate or cover and chill 1-2 hours ...(I had it overnight in the fridge)
Toss immediately before serving

You can add so many things to it too 
add any of these and they will do great in this pasta salad

WALNUTS
ALMONDS
CHERRY TOMATOS

POLISH SAUSAGE
APPLE DIPPED IN LEMON JUICE TO STOPP IT FROM BROWNING
CHEESE 
CHUNKS OF CHEESE

WOW !!!  ....that is what the dressing in this recipe is  Wow !!
It's so full of flavor ...creamy and sweet ..just the right amount of sweet 
You could use this dressing on so many things 
I am going to make it in to a salad dressing for my lettuce, tomato etc .salads
It would also be a great dipping sauce for pieces of grilled chicken or fish

Thank you so much for sharing it with us all Trudy
