in progress

this on the way to be this ... for an exhibition I have in June I will be working on some school projects and physalis is one of them.

succulents

yesterday I noticed how my dear succulents have grown ... they were so tiny just a few weeks ago.

crochet stones

finally here they are ... click on images for detail. last image shows bottom part, plain with only the otchipotchi label.

at the moment

while I wait for the "crochet stones" to dry and be ready to fire here is another little idea .... from a small stone with a peculiar shape I made a mould to possibly use for some "pebble" vases ...

update: they are in the shop now

birthday tags

I made some "happy birthday" tags in porcelain

soon

inspired by many crochet covered stones I have seen around on the net these unglazed polished porcelain stones shall be in the shop soon.

good things!

my little swallows are now available from a couple of shops over here (see links on the side).
I just love the way they were presented in here. obrigada Elisa!

wishing you a lovely weekend and thank you for your visits and comments ... they make me happy! :)

rim

a cobalt blue rim in a fine porcelain vase. I like the way it turned out ...

yellow weeds

I always have flowers in the studio. I need them around me even if they are simply pretty weeds like these taraxacum officinale (?) I picked this morning during my usual walk.

just as I type there is this most wonderful thunderstorm high up in the sky ... 

tags

chocolate?! no, new otchipotchi tags! :)

almost white

some new work in progress. meanwhile the swallows have been flying throughout the world.
thank you all who acquired my work!

another flock

it has been a few days. during this time I spent my days working on a couple of orders for shops, kept up with some old friends, started a tiny vegetable plot (the first time I planted any vegetables) and enjoyed the most gorgeous days of spring. for many, many years I hadn't had such a closer and daily contact with spring. maybe because I live now in a more rural area, maybe because here the skies are wide and beautiful.
I'm still pretty busy now and may be absent for a few more days while preparing a website and develop some new work. meanwhile some more swallows are back in stock here
see you soon! enjoy spring ...

lemon tree flowers

here the streets are beautifully scented with the perfume of orange and lemon trees flowers. it is probably one of my favourite scents of all!
this tiny branch is from my own lemon tree I have in the back yard.
