Bowls and flowers

A tea cup (palm size) and small bowl from my last round of ceramics; both use the same two glazes, but the cup got two rounds in the kiln. And the plumeria's blooming everyday now; something to be happy about on week two of 100 degree weather.

Bowls 2 & 3

Okay, almost done with my first ceramics class. Here are the second and third bowl (and three more pieces need firing, glazing, or picking up). I like the differing inside and outside color effect; I'd definitely like to try that again. As for the earthy-tan glaze which has an incredibly long name, way too 70's on its own; definitely needs layering. And a better bowl shape/more texture.

Daffodil light

I set these daffodils on the kitchen counter this afternoon thinking I'd take them out to compost, but a little while later they caught the most amazing late afternoon light. Decided to take advantage of the light and photograph my first ceramics piece (I started a class a couple of weeks ago)...good thing I like imperfection. Actually, turns out working with clay is kind of like meditation, but you get to take home something tangible and utilitarian at the end of it.
