Shapes From Nature

This week I was reminded about the early 70's when I was in the 'art' part of my university time. I studied and practiced painting, etching, drawing. The theme throughout all those wonderful times was observe nature.

We've had a wonderful Wedgwood vase for many years and last week an organic teapot with a similar 'feel' joined the small group of 'organics' in our collection. 

Seashells in a zinc lidded quart jar mixed with a bit of coral and memories.

The colors are echoed in our kitchen. Not planned but today the dots connected.
Earth colors.



 A shelf to delight.
Favorite things, happy memories.

    You have a lovely place. I referred a blogger to you earlier this week. When I looked at her site, I knew she would want to visit yours.
    Have a great weekend.

    That is my very favourite of all the groupings you have done! The matte glazes, seashells, zinc, etc. are beautiful in texture and tone. I'm raving, I know, but this is really lovely!

    A "memorable" vignette! Clearly you've had some good times! I'm loving all the seashells, and the organic-ness of it all. I love natural elements!
