Autumn Pottery

Autumn is when I take time to get back on the pottery wheel. With all the beautiful colors, it's like Christmas when the pots come out of the kiln.The bottom photo shows how the pots look before the glaze firing. You can see the raw glaze on the pots. Those same pots when fired come out like the red ones in the top photo. Actually I should call it Christmas pottery.

A Swarm of Honey Bees

Yesterday my honey bees swarmed for the fourth time this summer. Apparently they love the Japanese Maple above my garage. The swarm is a thing of beauty but it's a little unnerving to have them hanging out in the tree. Later they were boxed up and they now have a new home where, I hope, they are happy.

Honey bees chain themselves together in the tree.

 

 The bees are in a cardboard box. I put some honey in a plastic cup which can barely be seen in the middle of the photo.

Springtime Pendants

It seems like forever since I've posted any new artwork. Apparently I've been lost in the Phozone.

This new Morrisonite pendant set in sterling silver. Ever stone is so unique.What do you see?

Reticulated silver pendant shaped in a half-dome.

 

 I love this Morrisonite cabochon. It really makes this pendant

Maui

Maui has the most wonderful beaches and warm tropical breezes make it a true paradise. Here are some photos I took on my trip a couple weeks ago. Ahhhhhhh, Aloha.
