Before sailing and boating, I had another life as a potter on Vancouver Island. In the quietness of my studio, I created the dancing Buddhas. 
Each one individual and different from the next, with a character of its own.
They practised a few dance steps while waiting patiently for their turn into the kiln.
The fun didn't stop during loading for bisque firing.
I am convinced I could hear giggles as I closed the lid.
There are always a few wallflowers that didn't dance but watched.
At completion, they almost danced their way out of the kiln to the "wardrobe room" where they receive their final glazing of their colourful robes.
At completion and well dressed, they practice their dance moves and turns
I smiled as they were sold, lifted off the shelves and sent on their way to new homes.
