Back from Holidays

Even though it is only the beginning of the biggest production and sales season of the year, we have had a break.  A Family Celebration in Toronto took us away for 4 great days!  When I am away from the studio , etc....it always feels more like a break.

Here are a few highlights.  this is my Godmother, Zenovia.  She is a piece of my past and my foundation so it was great to have a few hours with her today, Mr. G took the pictures, and as you can see we ate heartily!

Ceramics inspired by Mesopotamia.

We both want to call this one, Dont leave me hanging!

Inspiration for new work comes from all kinds of places.  Sometimes it will be a cover of a journal, a leaf in the garden, a cup in a restaurant or something equally as humble.  I have been at home catching the little guy's germs the past few days, which is always a mixed blessing, because it does force me to stay in one place (the house) for an extended period of time.
