I shared some thoughts about pottery making over on Instagram yesterday, namely that it’s hard, but I keep trying! The little vase in these photos is one I made on our wheel here at home. It was sort of a happy accident as I am still not a consistent potter. I never really know what I will produce when I sit down at the wheel. The kids have all joined us with great enthusiasm and my house will soon be filled with small, odd pots and bowls. The day I took these photos of Mabel, she had come straight to my studio, first thing in the morning, wanting to make something. I don’t have much time for making pottery right now, but am glad that the kids are having fun. I did finish that tiny pair of socks for my new grandson, and started a hat for Jonny. I love that knitting is something that can travel from the homeschool table to the orthodontist’s office, especially when I don’t have much time for more than the necessary.
I started craving color earlier this winter and started dyeing some very bright pastel scarves! These fall far from my usual palettes, but they make me happy every time I look at them. They remind me of Easter egg hunts and spring! I dyed a small number of full sized scarves, and some smaller ones as well. They are available in my shop now and will ship in plenty of time for Easter!
Despite a last minute snowstorm last week, I think we are nearing the end of winter here. I am so happy for spring and look forward to being warm!
I would learn to make pottery just so I could make beautiful little vases exactly like that one. I love little vases for all over the house. Lovely!
So beautiful !!!
Happy (almost) Spring !!!
Having a cup of coffee with a friend is what I consider your post to be. Your pottery is lovely as are your scarves. I am looking forward to seeing your children’s pottery appearing very soon.
Oh man your pottery is improving so much!
The pottery is amazing, you are quite skilled so quickly.
beautiful pictures as always! I am glad you have your pottery; you are in a very busy season of life! God be with you. I love those scarf colours!!!
Have you seen the series
“The Great Pottery Throw Down”?
9 Seasons …very interesting!
Beautiful post and pictures Ginny. I just grabbed a cup of Tazo orange tea ~ have you tried it yet? It tastes like orange juice with a little sweetener in it! I opened your post and felt like I was catching up with a friend. Thank you, your scarves are beautiful and your pottery too!
I hope we’ll see your kids pottery start to appear in the shop as they continue to practice!
