Hi there,
I finally took some pictures of my latest ceramic pieces. It's always tricky to get the lighting right during the dark season, but I didn’t want to wait any longer. I really love working with clay that contains larger fireclay particles. The roughness is so pleasing to the eye – it gives the pieces such a natural feel, and I like how it absorbs the glaze differently. I made a new flock of light birds, and according to Feng Shui teachings, you should always place decorations in pairs to nurture a happy relationship. I can feel the truth in that when I look at my bird and hedgehog couples. The dish set had to wait the longest to be finished – I started it back in summer when the roman fennel was in full bloom. It’s such a lovely thought to drink tea from a cup made with imprints from the same fennel plant.

I love handmade plant pots!
Beautiful work, I love the texture and the way the glaze has different shades in it, they're really interesting to look at and I bet they're lovely and tactile in person too. Good news that you're able to get up and about to capture some photos!
@Düschen: Danke, liebe Marie!
@Lily: Ja, Ton und Pflanzen passen einfach gut zusammen :)
@Stéphanie: Thank you, it is always a nice surprise to open the kiln, especially with the glazes, you never really know how they will turn out, there is so much room for combining different glazes and just experiment. Yes, exactly after one month I started feeling a bit like myself again, I'm so grateful to start being able to do such things again!
