Laugh Out Loud



This is my new addition of the plate production.  I made this plate 3 weeks ago as a reminder to myself to relax a little.  Then 2 days later, I felt on the pavement at upper east side running for a cross town bus.  No, there was no banana peel on the concrete floor.  No cracks either.  Nothing.  I just tripped over.  Of course, I did not laugh at all at that time.  Quite opposite,  I cried miserably because I chipped part of my front tooth and I was afraid that my whole front tooth was gone.  I had Jay Leno's chin when I got home.

Three weeks later, my bruised chin and knees were healed and this plate came out of a kiln.  I thought about what happened on that day.  It was kind of funny because I was holding my bagel on my left hand the moment I felt.  I was holding it very tightly.  God,  I love bagels and you got to laugh sometimes.  But I will try not to run for a bus again!!
