NESTING

I love the idea of "nesting". Our homes and gardens are our sanctuary and our "nest". Of course birds have it wired!

 Original design, hand made heart from clay and fired. Embellished with my hand painted and handmade imagery and tiles. Completed with vintage pottery shards cut to fit the design. Grouted with a soft linen colored grout and sealed with a water proof sealer so that it can be hung in your garden!!SOLD!

NESTS

3 1/2x1x 1/2 handbuilt red earthenware clay

Gray colored nests. Many woodland nests are gray because of the natural weathering of twigs. These are two of the new gray. Back to painting birds today!

Tiny Nest

Going thru some pots on the side of my studio I came across this little tiny bird nest. I couldn't believe it. The pots have been on there for some time.I use them for Piquetassiette. Here was this lovely gentle little nest. All sorts of bits and pieces intertwined, even my hair, so beautiful. I brought it in and placed it in my cupboard. It sits there to remind me that there is a quiet gentle, order and rhythm to life. I stood still long enough to see.

Bird Nest bowl

4"x10" SOLD!I make all the pieces for these. The birds and rose and even the bowl that the small tiles are on. This is grouted with "nutmeg" grout. I have several more pieces to make. A couple of boxes and another teapot and then I can get back to painting!!
