I guess there are subjects and things that just gets me obsessed from time to time and something is making me going on in the same direction.
About fifteen or sixteen years ago, when I became friends with the clay for the first time, who knows why, but I started to make fairy dwarfs and small wizards. Most of them I gave to a friends almost immediately, but still have half a score at home, which i considered not good enough for a present.

In the last few years I have less and less free time and the needed serenity to do such things, but having this site made me realize that cats have ensconced themselves in it permanently and comfortable and for now they don’t even think about leaving.
On paper or from clay, it seems to imply that they know well what am I in need for - exactly not-being-in-a-hurry, more home life, even a bit of laziness.
Here are two specimens, that I love much.

First this charming one. Because he is always thinking for food, I gave him a magnet - to be close to the refrigerator.

We can learn many things from the cats. I admire their natural strength and elegance and the amazing ability to relax. Anywhere. Anytime.

And here it is the little pensive wanderer, who misses adventures and new lands:

He read a lot about the places that want to visit. But home is taking him back and it is getting harder to break the habit and go on the road.

He is also a big retro-fan and is born with the sense of good style. Always wanted to be a ship cat. He has heard that in the ship holds is full with rats, who knows the taste of rum and salt sea water. But he is not afraid, only curious to meet them.

Terribly curious.

Here’s what happened with this guy after dyeing. I’m not quite sure If I like it more now or before, but however, it’s too late to hesitate.

Indeed, it’s likeable now, in its own way somehow. It was year and a half lingering, till finally I decided to finish it. Not bad, actually?

The next few blog posts will be mainly with pictures. I brushed out the dust from what I’ve got to show and take the big decision of not! procrastinate! anymore!

In my defense will say only that I didn’t have good enough photos and it was a shame to upload crappy ones here. Then we lost the hard disk and the few good photos are gone so far.

But three days ago I have success with catching the best light - late sunset, which is adorable, but hardly impossible to see in north apartment. So I made quickly part of the photos that I wanted to.
For a start, here it is, a snail-optimist, fruit of co-operative work:

Actually, Michel is always jumping around while I am making something, and he is repeating that he cannot do such things even in his dreams.

In fact, he was totally awake when he made this snail, and I think he did it just great. My touch are only the horns with eyes and the coloring, but from all the little things at home, this snail is one of particularly special!

Few weeks ago I decided to do some tasty little loafs of bread, using the simplest recipe in the world. Flour, yeast, little spoon salt and another one sugar, some warm water and mix everything together. This is also wonderful mix for making pizza dough. I used full-corn flour sesame, poppy-seed, sunflower seed, some white cheese and sliced olives and finally, it came like this:

We’ve tried them together in the good company of some friends, and all we decided that this is actually very tasty. It also goes very well with beer…

Besides, recently during our stay in Bourgas I wanted to repeat the recipe, only with some slight modifications:

This time we didn’t have full-corn flour, so I used white one, and inside I put again white cheese, but also yellow one and two sorts of olives, black and green with almonds.

Well, I am not sure how they are making today the bread that you can buy in the store, but it becomes mouldy on the second day yet.
But anyway, the last two of our bread loafs we ate three days later and they were still soft and fresh.

Always, when you put heart in your work, you take the risk to have it broken.

Konstantin Bronzit is a director, which animations you cannot forget easily.
Here is one short movie from 2006, in which a very ordinary love story happens on the most not ordinary place for that.

With kind regards to all the people still looking for their partner.
