three wee cacti.

i’ve never really been an “indoor plant person” but my sister gave me these wee cacti.

after re-potting them in my own pots i fell in love with them.

never say “never.”

weird beautiful fruit.

a customer took this amazing photo of my plate + weird beautiful fruit.

it’s called a rambutan and is apparently delicious. i love strange foods.

looks like you can eat it and then scrub your tile with it !

bowled over.

i have always been obsessed with bowls, but recently ALL i want to make, draw, or paint are bowls.

this is a new series that i started at the end of 2014.

i’m looking forward to exploring it further.

a slow start.

it has been a very slow start to my year. it was my complete intention to take a hiatus for the first few months of 2015, but with the unplanned BROKEN FOOT, i am now forced to, and am moving at an even SLOWER pace than i expected ! i am trying to put a positive spin on it: i have time to pause (actually to completely stop) and to think about where i want to go with my work. all i know is that i want to go somewhere NEW ! i honestly think it was the universe who planned my broken foot so that i would actually STOP before i start again. i am often too feisty + stubborn for my my own good.

i was looking back at my really old work. thought about revisiting some of it. but then decided that i needed to move FORWARD not BACKWARDS.
