First Fire Favorite Just unloaded the new kiln after the very first glaze firing. This is my favorite bowl from the batch. It is a departure from my usual style, but I will certainly be experimenting more with this style in the future.

First Fire 🔥 Unloading bisqueware from a brand new garage kiln. The opening of the kiln after the first firing is extra exciting. It looks like all went well. The first glaze firing will be even more fun (I hope).

Vase in the Wild Like a creature waiting in the bushes for the right moment, this vase (6.5 in. high x 6 in. diameter) is waiting to jump to the right home. The design is reminiscent of feathers and furry stripes without being overtly animalistic. As a result it would look fantastic in traditional as well as in wild and crazy decor.

Lurking Crab Bowl Look who is waiting for a bite at the bottom of this bowl. Watch your fingers! (1.5 in. high x 4.5 in. diameter)

Butterfly and Ant Bowl This bowl (2.75 in. high x 7 in. diameter) is based on the Aesop fable of the ant and the chrysalis. In this story the ant boasts of his ability to climb and walk about the world while the chrysalis is trapped in his shell, barely able to move at all. The evolving catapillar hears the words of the ant but does not respond. A few days later the ant passes again to see that the hard shell is empty and a beautiful butterfly has emerged. Fanned by the wings of the butterfly, the ant can no longer brag about his superior freedom to move about the world.

Spring Blossoms Yarn Bowl All kinds of fun crochet or knitting projects planned for warmer temperatures? If you are looking for a yarn bowl that will highlight the pretty colors you are using for your next project, this bowl may be just the ticket. I used the natural form of the branch to make the yarn catch. No more balls of yarn on the floor, and a pretty bowl to boot!

Destination Wedding Mugs Today is the big day! While many people from Massachusetts are focused on the Boston Marathon, there are at least two people from the area who have very different plans for today. These mugs were made just for them. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Sandhill Crane Nest Bowl March is typically the month of the massive sandhill crane migration from Mexico to the Arctic zones of Alaska and Russia. Along the way, they stop at the Platte River in Nebraska to rest and eat. While I have not seen the cranes gather there myself, I have heard it is quite a spectacular experience. This bowl (2.25 in. high x 7.5 in. diameter) was inspired by one of many crane photographs taken by Gerrit Vyn and published in a book titled The Living Bird. What a great way to welcome spring– beautiful bird in book and bowl. (Try saying that five times fast.)
