 Single piece flower with curly petals

 A large vase with several glazes and torn slab construction

This jar is for sale at the Tailgate Market in Black Mountain, 9-12 today.  I hope she goes home with someone who will enjoy her.

It is so much fun to make things and then see them over in friends' homes later.  I had coffee out of one of my own mugs the other day at Teresa's house.  Yum.  She makes a great cuppa.

Clay Flowers

OK, I know they are trite.  After all there are gorgeous real flowers around.
And there are wonderful artificial silk, paper or even plastic copies of flowers.

But every once in a while a woman wants to try her hand at making one out of clay.  And they are just the suggestion of one, not a duplicate.  Sculpture. Art?
