An image of a raku fired vase that has a tiered pedestal. It has shimmery irridescent greens, gold, blues reds and violets and some matte black areas from the reduction material.
A close up view of the lower right portion of the same vase where you can see the blues/purples and reddish hues.
A view of the other side of the vase.
This is a photo of the raku process. Several vases being placed in the flames, in a reduction bin. They are all on fire, as is the material in the bin.
Inspired by the cosmos. Born from the flames of raku. A symphony of light and movement captured.
'Skyfire' draws it inspiration from the shimmery irridescent greens, reds, golds and violets of the northern lights.

How to grow food without light
In a new publication, engineers at Washington University in St. Louis make the case for electro-agriculture to help drastically cut carbon emissions.

Passionflower seeds cold stratifying in moist sand inside a plastic sandwich baggy. The baggy is dated December 30.
This is my second attempt at growing passionflower from seed (Passiflora incarnata). None of the seeds germinated last year.
This year I scarified the seeds and cold stratified them in the fridge.
Now I'm going to put them on a heat mat and hope for the best ๐ค๐ฑ

A closeup of a raku vase with yellows, reds, blues and purples with an abundance of texture.
3 raku vases placed into the reduction container among flames
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.

A vibrant pink tulip with white feathered streaks stands tall against a soft-focus background of a gray sky and Annapolis houses. The petals are open wide, showing delicate texture against the greenery.
From my archives, a tulip
and a quiet reminder that
spring is almost here.

Close-up of bright yellow daffodils blooming in my garden, with a small cluster in sharp focus at the centre. Their trumpet-shaped coronas and star-like petals glow against deep green, blade-like leaves. More daffodils fill the background in a soft blur, creating a wash of yellow and green that suggests a dense, cheerful spring display.
Just showing you that the wildish bit of my garden is coming to life. Have a great day. Now Iโm walking the dog in 30 mins but I will be back in the afternoon and will be looking through all of the #BirdOfTheDay posts. #Flowers #Daffodils #photography #EastCoastKin

6 mugs in one image. The first on the top left is blue and has a cat as a handle! The next to the right is intergalactic themed. To the right (and last in the top row) is a brown and blue mug called Spring Moss.
In the bottom row, is a blue, red and brown mug with dotted clay. In the middle is another brown and blue mug with a more delicate handle. On the bottom right is a delightfully purple mug made of porcelain.
New mugs are heading into the kiln soon ๐ฅ
To make room, most of the remaining mugs are now $65, shipping included.
If oneโs been calling your name, this might be the moment to bring it home.
And if not, a share always helps. ๐
