As we were driving around,
it looked like an interesting place.
So we stopped by Mud Daubber's of Brevard.
On the outside,
it's a ramshackle building that looks like a stiff breeze would knock it over.
On the inside is an incredible collection of pottery,
all made locally.
One piece caught my eye—a plate:
The level of detail is incredible and upon asking,
I learned that the artist pressed real leaves into the clay before firing.
The leaves burn away, leaving an impression that is then enhanced,
giving it this beautiful 19TH Century illustrative look.
It's just an incredible piece of work.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
