finally...




something new. It's been quite the effort to get rolling in the studio this year...so far! I'm thinking Spring in these dreary January days...my heart is yearning for the bright and beautiful. New glaze tests are rolling out of the kiln-
now I'm testing for watertightness in vases. You folks may not realize that some glazes look great and glossy but for a vase to hold water for several days with no dampness underneth it is quite the feat at the temperature I fire. So the dark days of winter are kept at bay while I dream of my new sprintime colors and designs....

I just clicked through from Smitten to say, beware the slippery slope of condensed milk! It's harder to find a Con-Anon than an Al-Anon ;P
And what lovely little pieces, simply gorgeous. I love the butterflies and birds, they remind me of living in Japan somehow, where the seasons were so celebrated.
