Polaris the Bear combines the magic of raku with the feeling of first snow on a starry night: crisp air, soft light, and that moment winter asks you to slow down.

A small reminder to breathe, wander, and let the season settle in, for soon spring will come.

An image of the monkey head nebula (ngc2175). You can see numerous stars and an orange reddish cloud that some say resembles a monkey head.

The stars still inspire, even when the world gets me down.

Fortunately we had clear skies for about an hour one night last week.

What does this nebula resemble to you?

The same picture of the nebula with the text 'surrender donald'

I definitely see a face, and given where it is, it has to be an alien.

Thank you. Always humbled by the cosmos and their magic

In fact, that is a very valid description of the universe 💙🙏

I see Homer more, but in the same family!

It took me a moment, but I can see that too.

A little magic for your Saturday.

Within the kiln, where flames rise,
Draconis wakes with molten eyes.
Across its skin, raku fire streams,
A creation forged from potter's dreams.

From earth and flame its power is cast
Ancient breath in clay held fast.

We definitely need less winter! I want to do the same thing. Have some tropical plants and the food plants I can't grow here locally.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Hope you have a great week!

So sorry to hear this.

Honoured my art will be part of your beautiful collection.

Sending good energy.

It was a rude awakening this morning. -22C 😔🙃

I did catch the start of the eclipse before the moon set (through a window) and then back to bed warm up!

It takes time to learn how to throw, but once you do it's like riding a bike.

You probably have not had much time on the wheel yet either. I'd suggest watching videos of people throwing. Watch their hands carefully and try out a few of the different techniques you see.

Good luck and have fun!

Thank you! Hope you enjoy your Sunday!

If you are patient I could make you one. It would probably be two months as I just did a bisque firing. (If that's too far off, I understand)

Just send me an email with approximate dimensions and what you'd like the cut out that holds the yarn to look like.

Happy Caturday to you too!

Thanks. Hope you have a great weekend

Happy birthday! Wishing you all the best.

At this point I'm doing my best to squeeze out all the joy , happiness, peace and love I can.
I just used to believe we were making progress and took comfort in at least less people will suffer. That doesn't seem to be the case and is heart breaking.
