I am a Potter

Alright. Here it is. I'm whole heartedly embracing it. I am a potter.

I have an ever evolving space in which to create. I have the wheel, the kiln, the muck buckets, boxes of clay, buckets and tools, and mixers and mess. I have shelves full of work of various levels... some of which I examine, notice I could do better and muck. Also filling the shelves is work which children have made. Volcano cups and bowls of varying beautiful sizes! A food dish someone made for their beloved pet.

And my latest love, fairy houses! I get to use the wheel for the bottoms. I get to carve in the doors and windows, and hollow out a place to slide the candle in. I get to use table work to make the tops, and I get to use nature as my inspiration. I get to use brightly colored underglazes to bring them to life! Getting to use so many techniques tickles my brain, it makes me happy. Brings me peace.

Keep checking in here as I will be posting pictures of different projects, ramblings, and wonderings...
