Today we went for a field trip  to one of the many beautiful National Parks around Santa Fe. The rock formations and vegitation made it impossible to take a bad picture.

The opportunity for a bit of wild life photography presented itself.

Upon returning to Bullseye, we began to pull murrine. By stacking the pot in different colors, a gradation of color is possible. Creating a top disk top disk for the flower pot allows for a specific pattern in the center part of the murrine. After pulling my flower pot of  murrien,

I spent the rest of the day chopping it into little pieces about 3/8" long. I managed to get 2 blisters.

The inside of the flower pot can be very beautiful. They are however, very fragile. The pot often shatters.
