A blue and white preview

 From the most subtle blues to the darker blues and just about everything in between, I think I've managed to fall in love with blue in a whole new way.  As is always the case when making new work, I had a few glaze issues that rose up out of the wood-work for me.  It's a good reminder that after 18 years I still haven't managed to master the medium.  The mere act of working in clay keeps me humble.  That said, there was lots that did turn out- beautifully too! 

The best part about this show will be seeing it all come together at the opening.  I can't wait!

Don't forget- the opening is Thursday from 6-9pm! See you then!

Inspiration in blue

There are all sorts little bits from around my home and garden that have me embracing this blue phase. The little russian teacup, an ink bottle, rick rack trim, sun prints, watercolour swatches, washi tape, not to mention all the little blue flowers blooming in my yard right now.  The photograph is one I found from our 4 month stint in Spain 11 years ago. Blue tile under a balcony with french blue windows.  I love all the patterns- both simple and ornate, that blue and white makes.  It just feels as though it's a colour for me to embrace in my work right now.
