A grey cat stands proudly on a red pillow with gold leaf design. The pillow is atop a white wooden rocking chair, the throne of said cat.

Inspired by ancient reverence for cats, I've created 'Felines of Antiquity,' a raku vase that honours their timeless, divine charm and enduring diva attitudes.

Does your cat act like a god or goddess? Mine certainly does!

The garden has decided it’s not waiting for Spring.

Thick patches of bright yellow flowers dot the top of the seaside bluffs in Montaña De Oro State Park in Los Osos, California. Further away, the edge of some other bluffs are visible, and ocean waves are hitting at the base. The sky is clear and blue.

A flowering crocus with bright purple petals, thin green upright leaves and a yellow center blooms through the bare, mulch covered ground.

Good morning, crocus. 💜

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.

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 🤞🌱

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 I’m 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

You cannot buy the revolution.

You cannot make the revolution.

You can only be the revolution.
