new owls coming into being......
.........new owls are coming into being.........this is how they look when they are just formed and are still wet clay. they dry for a week or two sometimes three, and then get their first firing. glaze colors are applied which takes longer than the forming process and then they are fired at least once more, sometimes several more times to get the colors just right.

Earth friendly packaging for art work....
Bag of non-toxic peanuts for packaging my art work. These peanuts are made from starch which disintegrates in water. Its even OK if a cat eats one "although it's not a recommended practice" says the supplier ;-)

re-membering the dream
Re-Membering the Dream of Love. Relaxing into the power as it flows into my life from ancient memories of life times when i lived knowing the Dream of Love is All.
this is a work in process today in my studio....red low fire clay with terra sigillata, under glaze, wax and pigments.... the wire spiral is rusted...ancient memories .....i may do something else with the wire part. sometimes i just want to feel a piece for a while until i know what is next...

heart to heart
sometimes i look at my work and wonder where did this come from?......i see so much in the piece all along in the process of its creation but the final piece sometimes just speaks to me in that particular moment so powerfully ....giving me love, giving me the healing memory that my heart was wanting right then....a circle....coming from my spirit to to my spirit....timeless.....i feel so touched by that experience....so grateful to BE.
there is a beautiful purple sunset on this owl...see it? just under the neck? if you enlarge it you may see the black birds flying thru that sunset....i didn't see that until just now....this thing that some call "art" is magic...i call it mystery dreaming...something that comes through me when allow myself to BE in the Mystery unfolding....

Owl Person Feeling the Beauty of Spring
i love spring when things start turning green again, the new leaves have a special spring green, the smell of the fresh air, the sky so alive...storms moving through with rain for all the newly sprouting growth.....so much energy moving....and of course the warmth after the long cold winter...aaaaahhhh.

pit firing
a few pictures from the pit firing of green ware that we did this past sunday. sawdust, small sticks and newspaper which is started by a hot teepee fire on top which burned for about an hour to make some hot coals. then everything is covered with a piece of metal roofing with dirt on top of that for insulation. it burned overnight. grandfather fire gave us successfully fired clay pieces, no breakage. wow!
