A Love-Hate Relationship

The piece below is one which I finished over the Easter break.  
The pattern is called "Laced Star".

available from www.catherinedanielceramics.com

I LOVE it .... and I HATE it!!
I always go wrong when plotting this design onto the clay slab.
Somehow, I just don't immediately 'get' how it all hangs together.

all sewn up with matching thread
 So I also hate it, for being so difficult.  
And that's why this is only the second time I've done this design. 

Border made by impressing plastic net container from oranges .


But I love it when it's finished precisely because of its complexity.
Therein lies the interest.
I decided to do dots, just to make a bit more work for myself!




Do you ever wonder why you set yourself
 such a complicated task,
which you kind of hate whilst you're doing it,
but love it for the finished result?  


Hope you all had a lovely Easter in this gorgeous spring weather we had!!
