Today’s my birthday. 22 of October
And despite I used to upload photos of all of my things made from clay /finished a long ago and some still unfinished/, I just didn’t succeed to.
But I’ll make better photos and will show them here, I promise.

October is my favorite time of the year and is full with gala days for me.
On 9th Michel had also birthday and all day I wanted to greet him from here too, but there was too much work and I missed.
But he did it today for me from his blog, because he is the best man in the world!

Because of him in this rainy Monday I want to put a song here.
This is my greet to you, Michel, because you are you and because you are wonderful and unique:

And for all of you, my friends, the song is this:

I alway wonder what kind of person can throw the cigarette’s end or his junk food’s packings wherever it is. Just like that.

To give my contribution to this day, I appeal to everyone:

Please, throw your odds and ends only where they belongs!

Keep the chocolate or chips packing with you till the next recycle bin.

One waste matter less. One more clean view.

While lingering in YouTube last weekend and admiring Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers and Cyd Charisse, I suddenly found Clayton Bates.

If you like, you can read more about him here. The man is a true inspiration.
Watch him, I have nothing more to say.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.

Work is always what keeps me away from here.

I also need to upgrade to the last version of Wordpress (really!), and it’s time to do it since even Lightbox script for the photos stopped work.

I always wanted to post here pictures of the things I make from clay. I really like to do such things and it’s a shame that I have this blog already for two months and still didn’t post anything of them.

Many of my friends know very well some of these and also have some at home as a gift from me.
Well, I have to admit that for the last few years I couldn’t find time and especially tranquility to manage this little vice of me - hand crafts.

I am aware that after time my skills are faded, but slowly during last few months I am trying to recover them.

This tom-cat is not very fine and is still unfinished, but I like him very much and he also has own story.

The clay which is made from is a special one, hard workable and not refined. I found it by accident in one cave in Lakatnik last summer, while slipping on the edge of an underground lake.

I still have left of it and even if it is not easy to work with it, I want to use it all.

In the next posts I promise to put more photos of older clay things, with some of them I am even a bit proud.

Have you seen the movie Corpse Bride?

I can commend it with enthusiasm to everyone, who can stand the dark sense of humour of Tim Burton. Personally, I adore it.

Not so long ago I watched this movie and felt in love not only in the story, but in the characters and the way the puppets are made.

Besides, the music is fantastic and complement the visual perfection of this modern fairy tale.

The dialogue has fine, subtle jokes - like the line: “Why go up there when people are dying, to get down here?”…

I really like all Burton’s movies, but by my humble opinion, this one is a true masterpiece, even better than Charlie and the chocolate factory.

I wish to be part of team that creates such things like these puppets with their delicate mechanisms, vivid faces and flexible figures.

Probably Burton will come one day in Bulgaria to make a movie like this, who knows.

If that, write me in, please.
