Teabowl with mermaid and a flower garden

I'll return to the studio tomorrow...Can't wait to do some neat things.
Well, it's good to get some perspective, which is what vacations are all about, among a few other great benefits.

So here's one of my last tea bowls I made before my hiatus.

It's fun to see how curved lines and even straight lines change when you paint them on a curved surface! 

And I was thrilled at my friends home to see her gardens in the woods..so here are a few of the inspirational flowers I saw when it wasn't raining!

color choices

Here's a mug for a puppy lover...it is waiting to be fired, and will have a nice (what color??) coat for the little guy.

A mermaid on the handle of another mug...wonder what colors I'll use on her.  Probably something blue green for the mug...kind of sea color.

That's all I can think of to share on this summery day.
