green goodness ....

my favorite glaze ten years ago was transparent green .... my pottery studio, spruill, quit having it, because it was so drippy and ruining kiln shelves ..... i mentioned it to my teacher, carol ... and lo and behold she had some ... and i got to use it .... and i was NOT disappointed ... it turned out just as beautifully as i remembered ... 

 and i made these two lovely square plates .... of green goodness ... and boldly declared that i was entering my green phase ...

and then i glazed two more ... and they turned out terrible. just terrible. haha. and my green phase abruptly ended. darn.

i have a guacamole farm going on my window sill .... i frequently do this .... and then kill them ... and give up ... and then start over .... so this is a newish avocado endeavor .... 

 i made those little pots specifically for avocados .... and in the avocado less times, i use them for other things ... they are super duper handy ... and i like the size/shape/color/texture .... so i made some more:

 and here they are, out of the kiln .... ready for their own pits .... doubling my guacamole crop in no time ..... but doubling zero is ... um ... zero ....

so maybe i should say i'm growing the pits for the health benefits of having house plants ... rather than for my unlikely chance of growing actual avocados..... but ever the optimist, i'm calling it my guacamole farm.

i like to ride my bicycle (imagine me singing that)

you never know when someone is going to ask you to draw a bike ... so i've been practicing .... i imagine i'll do a bike canvas soon/eventually ... in the meanwhile i'm practicing getting them just so .... little.e.beck.artist saw what i was doing and tried as well .... and her handle bars were better than mine ... so i'll keep practicing.

assemblage ....

when blog posts are few and far between, you just add the most recent art pics .... so here ... this is what i'm working on:

 i was in my studio a few weeks ago to "clean" ... ahem ... cleaning is not my strength .... getting side tracked is .... so as i cleaned up, i dreamed up a new series from all the crazy fun stuff i have in my studio... rather than clean, glue it down....

 so my studio is far from clean ... but soon i'll be able to redo the art wall in my kitchen with five new, big, bold lovely assemblages ....

red, orange, yellow, green, blue. my favorite colors.
