Loving some of the new glaze combos

I love the warm tones of the bowl with the dragonfly and the glaze on the wavy bowls.

The bowl in the back is a new glaze we are trying called tempest blue.

A wine cooler with dragonflies,I like this glaze combo.

Karen's large tray with birch trees.

I wonder who likes leaves and chartruese!!! Could it be Karen???

I tryed out a new glaze combo on this tray,lots of movement.I still find it hard to get good photos ....another learning curve!!!

Some peanut butter feeders and of course no post would be complete without a birdhouse. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you had a great sunny day like we had today. It feels like spring is just around the corner!!!

I grew up in Saskatchewan, yet when I was young the wind caught hold of me and over time I found myself "moved to live near" each of the three oceans surrounding Canada. Saskatchewan will always be a part of me, because that is where my childhood began. As a child, I played with clay, dug deep from the garden. Now, from time-to-time I use various other mediums, but I always return to playing with clay.I love imaging about the pieces in my mind. Building the pieces seems to be far less challenging for me, than glazing them! Yet, when a piece goes through the creating, building and glazing process and comes out meeting my expectations, then I feel I have won.

Having grown up and worked in the Kootenays all my life, I found myself semi-retired last year and needing something fun and interesting to do. I have always wanted to try pottery, so our good friend Karen took on the challenge to teach my sister and myself. My husband, Richard, was kind enough to give up his workshop to build us a studio and he continually makes improvements for us. We have been having the best time ever since. Caroline and Karen hold down the fort while the Baja frog enjoys the winter in Mexico and Arizona, but she returns to work in the spring. Looking forward to new creations. Have a great day!
