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.

  6. 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!
