these were scraps of clay that i wadded together and was about to recycle, but i found this lump quite beautiful. a little sculpture that i couldn’t have made better if i was trying. one man’s garbage is another girl’s sculpture and beauty is everywhere.
these are some of the vessels i just made in france. i am crazy in love with this black clay that i can only get there. it has the perfect amount of grog in it and is such a joy to hand build with. i’d go back to france JUST for this clay . . . i love it that much.
yes, i am back in california after the MOST inspiring six weeks in the south of france EVER. i met SO many amazing artists, i saw SO much inspiring ART, i ate TRUCKLOADS of the most delicious food, i swam EVERY DAY in my favorite body of water (the mediterranean sea), i soaked in all the Côte d’Azur a girl could possible absorb. in one word, my journey was
“magical.”
but it does feel good to be back in my own atelier and in my own life . . .
and i will ALWAYS go back to the south of france.
always.
this summer has been much about the fig. these are a few of the figs i just made in france.
and this was my new food obsession . . . “fresh figs, a strong bleu cheese, and a drizzle of honey.” i ate this concoction many times a week . . . beautiful and oh so satisfying.
sketchbook, rosé, moules et frites right on the french riviera. what more could a girl want ?
just by chance, i made 13 spoons in france without even keeping track of how many i was making. 13 is my lucky number. i love when things like this happen.
beaucoup de poires.
here are some of the pears i made in france.
