Tulips In The Garden -
$45
(14 cm in height, hand
built clay - low fire glaze)
Bob
(5 cm in height, hand built clay -
low fire glaze)
They knew if they stuck together, it would be okay.
Rodney took it the hardest; why were people so cruel? So they didn't
have hair, what was the problem with that? It was hard to be different
and Rodney wanted to fit in. His brothers noticed something had
changed when he brought home the wig. It was time for an intervention.
Betty Gets Her Groove On 
(8 cm in height, hand built clay -
low fire glaze)
Living alone now for the last
six years since her husband passed on, Betty has taken up Palates Yoga. Of late, she has been considering a return to the dating
scene, even though she worries that she may find the whole thing rather unsettling. She thought she might start with joining a co-ed fitness
club, but wanted to ensure that her triceps were in proper working order
first.
Simone Is Happy With Her Bright Red Mitts
- NFS
(8 cm in height, hand built clay -
low fire glaze)
Simone was so excited when she finished her mitts. It was
quite an undertaking, all of those stitches, all of that focus, but it was
done! She ran outside into the snowy backyard, holding her bright red yarn
in her bright red mitts to show
off to the birds. Depending on their reaction, she would consider calling
her mother to share the news.
Rocky's Retreat (wall hanging)
- $75
(18 cm x 15 cm - hand built clay tile -
low fire glaze)
The sun beat down on the man as he
watched the scene unfold before him. Only in the last 2 years had he
wanted to visit the mountains; before that, he was oblivious to the
beauty as he sat day after day in his office, staring out the window
watching cars and people move through life. His cousin had emailed him
to invite him to her cabin in the mountains. The thought of being in the
'wild' didn't appeal to him at first, but as she sent picture after
picture, he began to see himself in a different place, slowly realizing
how much he had missed in his life. And now, he was there.

Mandy Practices Her Arabesque
(9 cm in height, hand built clay - low
fire glaze)
The moment she found out she was in, Mandy began working harder than
she had every worked before. At the break of dawn Mandy made one cup of
very hot coffee, took a brisk walk in the early light, and then sat on
the side of her twin bed and carefully pulled her tutu and ballet shoes
out from underneath the bed. As she felt the taffeta in her
fingers she knew that this was her only chance to show that she had it
in her. She wasn't going to blow it this time.
Mary Lou Sings To Her Piglets
(PRIVATE COLLECTION)
(10 cm in height; piglets 2 cm in
height, hand built clay - low fire glaze)
"It was always a pleasure to listen to Mary Lou when she sang to
her pigs" explained Grandpa. "She understood what they
needed to hear - her voice was like hungry sparrows in the
springtime." I watched my grandpa's face as his eyes stared off
into the distance and a tear slipped slowly down his cheek. "I miss
her dearly, my little Mary Lou, I miss her dearly."
JoJo And Her Fish Take A Swim
(8 cm in height, hand built clay -
low fire glaze)
JoJo was amazed at what she saw. The Barrier reef was
more beautiful than she could have ever imagined, and she knew that
Hermy had to see it too. She ran breathlessly back to her hotel in
her lovely yellow bathing suit. She picked up his bowl and danced
excitedly as she explained what she wanted to do. Water sloshing
onto the carpet, Hermy stared at her in his same stoic way, lips opening
and closing as if to say he was ready. She knew this was
going to be a great day.
Mertyl Takes A Moment
From Gardening For Tea - NFS
(hand built clay -
low fire glaze)
Mertyl was an avid
gardener. Her greatest pleasure was to work through the morning while it
was cool, pulling weeds, planting seeds, and watching each little bud
bloom. Although Early Grey tea was her preference, sometimes she
would go out on a limb and have a Lipton, just for a change.
