Winter time

I didn't write for ages, but I did work a lot in all kind of techniques

Before and After

I am acctually in the mood of BIG things, thus I am putting more and more clay on my throwing-wheel, so my dishes become wider, and higher.

Winter is here

it's already cold and windy outside I hope the rain will come too

Spring is in the air

Time passes so quickly; the spring is already here; each day brings different weather; one day is cold, one day is hot, one day is cloudy, and the other day is hazy;

all of these changes are very similar to my mood which gets high and creative one day, or low and sad in the next, nevertheless, the spring also brings with it so many colors; the new growth of the fields, the countless flowers and the tiny little buds which all of them have enormous affect on me…

sgraffito

My father, who is in his 90th year, and is very ill, wants "more years to live", but I do not think he is really enjoys his days anymore. That makes me wonder about the gift called life, and the surprise that is waiting under the next layer.

Each day I attend my studio with enough strength to create new things. It goes a bit slower than I used to, but I still have made many new works.

I am trying to cope with taking photos of the works, at least for a memoire; but sometimes they're being bought before, and that's makes me very happy, but then I do not have any remembrance of them.

Still have a lot to learn

slip with 3% cobalt oxide

I started with tiles so I can do some ceramic work, even when I am tired. I thought it is like painting which is my second nature, and therefore it must be easy for me.

Well, it isn't exactly like painting, and what's came out of the kiln, wasn't exactly what I have expected.

I guess that like other things, there are no shortcuts, and I have to learn about layers, about the quality of the lines, about the different colors, and what's happening to them during the fire.
