Realised I have missed posting for nearly half the year...

Nice to reflect for a few moments on things I've seen, designs I've created, flowers I've played with!

This is that time we went to the tropics for inspiration!

Would you look at this?...

Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum), such an elegant and liquid linear material, topped off with the little trumpety-tubular-bells, which open over time.

I think I could look at them for hours on end.

Kintsugi

The Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold...as a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

Flowers and plant materials are rarely without flaw, and I've come to appreciate each object for what it is, preferencing the gnarled, bendy and twisted!

Such a fun pairing with Jacqui , following the process, trials and tribulations of ceramics, and also seeking and finding the fixes and hacks.
