1/12/09 Broken pottery, given awayWhy would I save broken plates?
For art, of course!
The cultured among us call it pique assiette, the art of turning shards of pottery into works of beauty. Or even buildings -- check it out.
I'm ready to admit, however, that the likelihood of ME making pique assiette anytime soon is very low. Like sea level.
Fortunately, my school has a dedicated art teacher who not only teaches students about art, but creates art, herself. Eva said she'd love to take my broken plates off my hands, assuring me that they would be used for artistic expression by either a child or herself.
Guess it was a good thing I saved them.
