“Anytime you feel good, you’ve found vibrational alignment with who you really are” By unknown This concept come to me so often that I have to believe it’s true. I also believe it is crucially important to remember that we are always growing and changing beings. What feels good right now, may feel differently tomorrow, … Continue reading Friday’s Frequencies #9: Good Vibrations
Coiled Bowl
Sometimes the simplest techniques can reveal amazing results... but only when we let go and stop overthinking it. This is stoneware clay, coiled (not my favourite technique), then pressed into a slump mould bowl. I love rustic work, so I left it as crude as I could. It dried slowly over a week or two, … Continue reading Coiled Bowl
Thursday’s Thoughts #9: Feel it, don’t be it.
“Feel the feeling, but don’t become the emotion. Witness it. Allow it. Release it.” By Crystal Andrus Tie this one into the saying: “What we resist, persists.” It’s a law of attraction thing. When we resist a feeling, we are putting emotional anergy on it and that will attract more of what we are focusing … Continue reading Thursday’s Thoughts #9: Feel it, don’t be it.
Into The Fold
I used a terracotta clay body and wanted to see just how thin I could go. I managed to get it down to about 2mm thick. I had to time it just right, as working it too wet would leave me with tears in the clay, and it wouldn't hold up on its own. Too … Continue reading Into The Fold
Wednesday’s Wisdoms #9: Wellbeing all around
“You don’t attract wellbeing. It’s continuously flowing. You are either letting it in or resisting.” By Abraham-Hicks Ok, I accept this, and it feels right. The question remains, why am I resisting it? I’ve been swimming in and out of pools of wellbeing, and the opposite, un-wellbeing for many, many years. I can accept that … Continue reading Wednesday’s Wisdoms #9: Wellbeing all around
Chrysalis Teapot
This started with soft scraps of clay and transformed into a teapot. My amazing daughter was with me in the studio and she added the butterflies. The glaze was a Cone 6 creme that didn't like the stoneware clay body very much. it was painted on, instead of being dipped. I also painted a manganese … Continue reading Chrysalis Teapot
Tuesday’s Triumphs #9: Oh, that darn overthinking again.
“Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.” By unknown Well, here I am reflecting on these daily sayings and relating them to my experience. At the same time, I’m learning the benefits … Continue reading Tuesday’s Triumphs #9: Oh, that darn overthinking again.
Abstract Ship
Again using scraps of slabs and joining them together into whatever shape they decide. This was done while I was seeing the smokestacks of ships in my imagination. I decided to experiment with a red engobe of my own mixture. It would have been more vibrantly red, had I fired it at Cone 04, instead … Continue reading Abstract Ship
Monday’s Meanings #9: Excuse me, are you getting off here?
“Life is like an elevator: on your way up, sometimes, you have to stop and let some people off.” By unknown I feel like I’ve had conversations with family and friends on this concept all my life. The emotional counterparts for this are: “never burn your bridges”, “remember the people who helped you on your … Continue reading Monday’s Meanings #9: Excuse me, are you getting off here?
Ring Vessels
I think these would be ideal to put your rings in at the end of the day, or when you are washing your hands. The bowls are pinche-pots, the bases are hand-built. I used a stoneware clay body and fired to Cone 6 in an electric kiln. The glaze is mainly a version of a … Continue reading Ring Vessels
