the pear.
this is a newly documented old teapot of mine. i have always had a “thing” for pears. i refer to them often in my work. i love their shapes and their colors. and though i love pear flavor, i can only eat a very firm but juicy pear, which means the window of opportunity of pear consuming for me is very small. i’ll buy what i think is the perfect pear at the market, and by the time i get it home, it is too mushy for me to eat. but i do enjoy fake pear flavoring . . . and an asian pear is almost always perfect.

i’ve always been drawn to pears. the shape is so alluring to me. i refer to them a lot in my work, sculpturally and decoratively. i was recently asked to be a guest artist for the *button club.* this is the artwork i did and below is the button tanya made from it.
if you are into “buttons” (though they are more like “pins”), this is a fun club to join . . .
check it out right here.
