i worked for a bundle of time swearing i wouldn’t drop a flower onto my plate – but as soon as i did – i started to figure out what i was doing…
things are starting to move all of a sudden.
the studio is full steam ahead, applications are moving forward and we moved some walls at the H/M Gallery today.
after a bit of a dry spell – i’m looking forward to this December push.
A dear friend gifted me this wonderful Michael Hunt Bandana Pottery mug while I was on the road. Nice to have it home and pressed into service.
My collection continues to bring me joy. I’ve just added a healthy handful of pots to the stacks and they make me so thankful to be a part of our clay world.

I also wanted to share this bit of a poem with you today:
How marvelous is the reality of the present moment! Each leaf is a universe of taste, scent, and memories. Each one is a unique world, both spiritual and temporal. A single leaf encompasses the entire universe. We tremble at this revelation that inspires great devotion. We bow in front of the miracle of this manifistation. We no longer dare neglect the smallest thing: leaf, stone, or fragrence.

i was kept awake the other nite thinking about making 50 or so blocks in a sandy cast terra cotta – building a wall and painting them w/ slips and then glaze.
it is beautiful in my mind.
