lately i’ve been hosting a lot of tea parties in my studio. it’s my new favorite time of day and it feels so civilized to actually sit and sip a cup of tea over conversation. my word of the month is “pause.” i highly recommend it.

black + white.
sometimes it really is just that black and white. i’ve been working in the studio lately using both porcelain and black clay. it is very difficult to keep things separate, as black clay is SUPER MESSY. luckily i have two work tables and duo clay tools + sponges. and one must be very vigilant about the clean up in this situation.

friday the 13th field trip (from the sketchbook).
todos santos, mexico
december 2012
this was a very strange candy that was FULL of different and opposite flavors. it felt weird to be eating something and not knowing whether i liked it or hated it. but since there is actually not a food that i DON’T like, and because i wasn’t fully repulsed, i think i kind of liked it and would eat it again.
(i think i made up that word “granulous” . . . it means full of granules.)

just my type.
i bought this old ROYAL typewriter 23 years ago at the marin flea market for $15. i used it for the next 15 years until some of the keys started sticking and the ribbon was completely dead and off track. FINALLY last week i had it tuned up and now it works like new again (they had my same exact typewriter on sale there for $500). this is the same kind of typewriter that ERNEST HEMINGWAY used . . . how is THAT for inspiration ?!

take a stand.
i bought this beautiful old wire stand in vermont (i love anything on wheels). i thought it would be the perfect display in my shop for ceramics, linens, bags, etc . . .
but WILMA had something ELSE in mind for it !
don’t worry, when she’s not napping, this is currently filled with ON SALE items.
