Looking Broken
This is a Algirosphaera cucullata, a coccolith found in the North Atlantic Ocean. This is another revised piece to replace the one that was smashed following a tumble down the basement stairs. I think this one came out better than the first. Anyway it is glazed in Royal Blue with Shaner Clear on the center orb.
Pick up the pieces
Shattered glass is not mended
Careful you're not cutThis is a haiku because I'm being lazy. It is another tough week. I had hope to get lots of little tasks completed but the universe had other plans. So I'm spinning plates and hoping that nothing falls and breaks. I don't have time for a clean up in aisle ten...

Another lovely redo! Keep those plates spinning, Val!
Thanks Janet! I'm spinning plates and this week I've added a hoola hoop and some bowling balls to juggle! It will, I've been assured, get better. Until then I will keep things going as best I can...
I am glad you are getting back some of your pieces again.
This one reminds me a bit of a drier ball. Hehe.
I never thought of a dryer ball - probably because I don't have one... I'm slowly redoing the broken ones and hopefully the second time around they are even better than the first time!
This is a lovely piece and the scanning EM looks so whimsical and delicate. Love the Haiku. So sorry your previous piece broke.
Thanks Zakiah! I am winding down National Poetry Month and got a little lazy since I love to do Haiku - it is like breathing!
