  Sometimes it's fun to take a picture and look what you've done somewhat removed from the piece.  It looks different, the space becomes flatter, and the experience of looking at the design of what you have done takes on another dimension.  I could probably add something, but I think I'm going to stop here and call it done.  

I like how the patterns look in black and white...

More space seems to equal more detail......

Love it!!! More here.

Sometimes it feels like one step forward and two steps back. I think I'm liking this last one I did the best, but maybe that's because the light was diminished, so somehow the image came more clearly to me.  

When it's been a while since I've done something familiar, I have to figure it out all over again.  It starts out slow.   Let's see what tomorrow brings....

So much email, I am missing writing and receiving a really good letter.  The anticipation of what might be inside, and waiting for the right moment to read it.   And I really do promise to write back.....

The artist is Lauren Ari.     She does ceramics too! Unrelated, but then again, possibly related to the above image, was my dream just before waking this morning. I am grateful for a dream life that sometimes is an intermingling of art and life, and that leaves me off for the day full of wonder,  confusion and imagery to play with as I'm working.  And  like a dream, it was over way too soon, the dialog still circling round in my head. I saw an old friend in my dream and we talked like we hadn't in years.  It was so beautiful.

I've headed south to warm up and work on some inventory for the  Minnesota potters tour.  Hope it's warm enough to swim...

By special request.  Guess which one she picked?

Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew.  ~ Guillaume Apollinaire (French Poet)

A few cups in line to be bisqued soon.

Justin is an incredible decal master.  More here.

A hidden room with secret messages.   An old typewriter. A new friend and an old friend.  Walking in the dark.  It was a good day.
