I really enjoy working with clay.

Me and my mothter did some courses together until I moved away.

My mother continued and I had big plans buying my own kiln one day.

The space I had in mind for this hobby has always been filled.

At first it was full with our moving boxes and now it's packed with household clutter and my bike.

In the winter it's completely crammed because the space is also used to protect the kenderman's tree ferns.

When I'll win the lottery, not that obvious without even buying a ticket,

I'll buy a kiln and I'll finally declutter the space.

Another bee house

I've made this  a long time ago from some leftovers of clay.

For the decoration I used a leaf with fat veins.

After these blocks of clay were fired, they layed in our shed for quite some time before they got used at last :-)

The solitary bees use all kinds of material to fill the holes.

Broken dolomite from our driveway, white loam from our wall in the shed and all sorts of wax.
