this is a new series i am working on: sketches on thin slabs of porcelain which are then glazed + fired. they are framed in shadow boxes (i brought this one to my last show, and it sold). i am trying to move away from functional art, and i love the idea of turning clay into my sketchbook. plus, being a production potter is really taking a toll on me physically AND mentally ! now i just want to draw.

i am a renegade.
i am back from a fabulous weekend in los angeles doing the renegade craft fair (complete with a nicole richie sighting + drinks on the beach). it was SUPER busy, SUPER hot, and SUPER fun. despite the fact that it started out on a rather grim note: my husband and i loaded the car to the rim, with not an inch of space left for even a stick of gum (luckily, i don’t chew gum). we were ready to head out . . . only to notice that we had a flat tire. a FLAT TIRE ! but we got it fixed and had an easy drive there and back with not a trace of that infamous L.A. traffic.
thank you poppytalk people !

i love the look of the old fashion candies, they are like jewels. these were at miette in the ferry building, one of the cutest bakeries you will ever step foot in. these stick candies bring me back to a sweet + fond memory of childhood. i LOVED candy, as my dentist would gladly attest to. but later in life, my sweet tooth turned into a savory tooth. now, i much prefer the savory, and my sweet tooth is practically nil. but the sweet memories still live on . . .

friday field trip (from the sketch book).

i bought these shoes at a beautiful store in sutter creek called “the antique gardener.” they are rubber gardening shoes. who doesn’t love an orange shoe ? and i always enjoy an easy slip-on-and-off shoe, as i tend to take them off whilst sitting at my desk or at a table (i love shoes, but i hate wearing them). now all i need is a garden.

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.
