By March I've run out of decent foliage and I'm starting to feel the need for a trip someplace tropical. So I break out my shells and seahorses and pretend...

Occasionally a bride pushes me outside of my comfort zone. When requesting a mauve, maroon and yellow background I wasn't sure about it. But it came out nice and she LOVES it.

One of my favorite pieces - because it held so many memories of that beautiful day. I didn't want to sell this piece, but someone else fell in love with it. Theoretically I can "just make another one", but it's just not the same...

This large sculptural bowl was pit fired using sawdust and shavings from 2 local woodworkers. It is purely decorative, but quite pretty. I need to do more of these. Maybe after bridal season is over?

Around their 1st anniversary they contacted me and brought over items from their gardens to remember their time here in Massachusetts as the packed and got ready to move to Colorado. A nice momento of the begining of their marriage.
