"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.” Rachel Carson

Interesting to compare before firing to after firing.

Here she is, finished platter

We had a wonderful weekend sale, it was so nice to see some of you! Lots of sunshine and lots of sales, including the piece I showed you last week. Remember filigree owl? Here she is finished.

Hermannsburg Potters

Love these pots from the Hermannsburg Potters from the Northern Territory of Australia. 
I posted this on my Facebook page and had a huge response of comments and shares. Ain't the Internet grand? I've found so many inspiring artists and art.

I've had the idea to do a series based on the constellations. Pegasus star chart takes center stage today. This is the under-glaze, it will get much brighter after the glaze firing!
