New Vase

I have just put the lugs on this vase after a slow build over Christmas. Measures around 17 inces tall and all coiled, it is beautifully light because I took my time as there was so much else to be getting on with! Design to follow.

My Daughters Christmas Present


I couldn't really post this little piece until now or my daughter would have seen it. It is a small lidded pot for her tea leaves, it would also take a glass jar of jam perfectly. I have written an inscription inside the lid. Because of the snow in England she is not going to receive it until the New Year, but here it is Inky!

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas from the singing cats of Spain!

Onward into 2011 I go. Everything being equal I will pass through into 2011 without incident and with all the new designs and ideas that I have been working on this year. Over the last few weeks I have been ordering the sequence of how I achieve everything I intend. I have arrived at a time and place where I able to dedicate a year or more to building a significant body of work. I seriously need a curator to direct the collection towards a selling exhibition, but that is a minor issue at the moment. I am carrying on regardless making large scale floor standing ginger jars on the theme of magic and creation, looking at the reflection of desire that stems from magic. I have always been lost to myth, wonder and fairy lore and even as ordinary life carries on I still tend to be picking flowers that promise immortal life and dipping my fingers into dragon blood. It is this other world that I am working to bring to life now through a series of standing jars, wall works and suspended pieces. The birds were the beginning for me, they were a glimpse into that other world.

I still have several every exciting commissions to complete; I will be showing their development here.

Hasta luego!
