“A wise old man was talking to a boy and said, ‘There are two wolves always fighting inside me. One is filled with anger, hate, jealousy, shame, and lies. The other wolf is filled with love, joy, truth, and peace. This battle rages inside all men.’ The boy thought for a moment and asked: ‘Which … Continue reading Thursday’s Thoughts #11: Which Wolf Will You Feed?
The Altar of The Face
Intended as a gift for someone who did some work for me. They had liked something similar I made sometime before and I thought they'd like this one too. Well, that's a lesson in... well, I frankly don't know. I didn't have the guts to ask them why they didn't like it. Perhaps the title … Continue reading The Altar of The Face
Wednesday’s Wisdoms #11: FOCUS!
“When you no longer split your energy with contradictory thoughts, you will know your power.” By Abraham-Hicks Remember how our parents would shout at us to focus? Maybe this is all they were trying to tell us. Ok, maybe it was an angel speaking through them, then. Either way, it seems clear that whatever we … Continue reading Wednesday’s Wisdoms #11: FOCUS!
Waterfall
Terracotta clay, slab-hand-built, carved, folded, and taped. Bisqued without any stains or engobes. Then I used a variation of oxides and celadon glazes. I had hoped they would drip down and they did. The carved base only had some thin coats of iron oxide stains, but that also changed in the firing. I'm pretty sure … Continue reading Waterfall

Striations “SOLD”
The intention was to give the feel of something that may have formed naturally following the eruption of a volcano. For this, I used very unusual materials to colour the inner and outer surface. This one of those pieces that no school would allow me to make in their classes. Thank goodness I had the … Continue reading Striations “SOLD”
Monday’s Meanings #11: Need it, Want it, Don’t need it…
“Eliminate everything that gives you conflicted feelings. Embrace the things that resonate with your soul.” By unknown I’ve come across this concept in many different quotes, but never as clearly in response to questions about what to do with self-doubt. If something feels off, acknowledge it, consider it, if you must, then look at your … Continue reading Monday’s Meanings #11: Need it, Want it, Don’t need it…
Languid Pools Trio
Stoneware, hand-built, folded and paddled, electric fired to Cone 6, glazed with a brushed on, brown pigment infused glossy clear glaze on the lower outside, dipped in a cobalt blue glaze on the upper part, and a blue-celadon crackle glaze on the inside. At first, I didn't like these, but I wasn't sure why, because … Continue reading Languid Pools Trio
Sunday’s Speculations #11: Being is all that is care-worthy!
“Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you are BEING while you are doing whatever you are doing.” By Neale Donald Walsh What? Ok, this got me stumped for a bit. So, I asked myself what am … Continue reading Sunday’s Speculations #11: Being is all that is care-worthy!
