Hello, and Happy new year..............
This year began with a studio clean up preparing for
various artistic endeavors ....... remember those leaf
pots I did at my friend Lindy's in Santa Ynez ?
Just before Christmas I drove back to her ranch and
glazed my pieces, spent the night and had a grand time.........
Lindy was lovely to bring them to me,
ready to be wrapped and shared as gifts....
But as you can see I kept a lot for myself, as I loved
the way everything turned out..... this business card
holder is just perfect for display...........
The single leaves glazed out just how I had envisioned
sitting perfectly on a piece of driftwood.......
Yes that is a real ( but deceased ) insect from New Guinea !
The small bits of clay left over I rolled flat, made a hole
a dab of glaze, bit of bling and voila' earrings .........
This is my prize, the favorite... a large leaf with a
antique chinese appeal, I found just the right stand .
I can't wait to make more of these............
Another small bowl I could not part with..........
I'm planning to do a series of lotus leaves,
This little book is so inspiring to me... I love
wood cuts... going to those this year too........
And of course paint, I want to paint, larger and looser
ablaze with colour..........
And re~use..... cover, paint , take apart ,
boxes and other finds into useable art pieces....
there is just so much to do !
So be creative, try different things, and have fun
there is no time like the present !
Wishing you all Happy days this new year....
Victoria
