Thread, Clay, and Memories

bee mix clay with free hand sgraffito decoration on top of hand made doily (scheme from Japanese magazine)

Crochet is what I am doing while resting... I got this passion from my mother who used to knit on her knitting machine and crocheting through the nights.  I still  remember her patiently crocheting little doilies with tiny metal hook, reading the schemes from German and Japanese magazine.
No wonder I have this love in my system too, and lately I have got into that Doilies- Mania as well, especially after I realized how beautiful it looks with my pottery decoration, and understanding its source...
