I admit to being tired
lately. I’ll sit and read rather than
create. I’ll stand at the bottom of one
of our ladder like flights of stairs and stare at them rather than climb
them. I’m uninspired.
So even tho my mind is a
blank, I’ve taken to keeping my camera with me all the time. I admit I often forget I have it. I force myself to take it out and use it even
if it is in a store. No beautiful
landscapes for me. I confess to being
fascinated by the repetitions of today’s society. Rows of cans on a shelf are really delightful
things. Dolls heads amuse me especially
in multiples. Perhaps even the overt
ugliness of this teapot is inspiring. It makes me laugh.
This poor thing is so bad
that even Bobbie, in her search for the ugly Christmas gift, won’t buy it. If I got it, who would I give it to?
The tea pot has personality which I like. Isn't it amazing what grabs our eye as we take pictures. It is fascinating to me that you like the repetition. The tea pot must be really ugly to you. Love this post!
ReplyDeleteNow that is extraordinary! Do you still have it? I need it for a gift!
ReplyDeleteI knew it would be perfect for the Capt. I think it is so ugly that it should be a keepsake.
ReplyDeleteI bought it! YAY!
ReplyDeleteYou did. LOL
ReplyDeleteI find it rather reserved. I mean, you can tell it's a functional teapot. (-;
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting and full of personality. :- )
ReplyDeleteUmm... it reminds me of a vase one of my students gave me. My kids thought it was really ugly, but I have it in my china cabinet. I like it. LOL
The pot reminds me of the still life art in the Medici collections. Beautiful in an exotic over the top way. Sorry about G. I am in a down period as well, so I can sympathize.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is uninspiring. Too warm for me. My Irises are confused and blooming. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI see the teapot sound someone to love! Success! Stairs are a real pain in the butt. I am happy that you keep your camera close. Here's hoping for more and more inspiration.

I agree with you it is quite ghastly. However there is a pottery whose name escapes - starts with M which is much in demand over here. I don't like that either.
