Four little teapots

This time I tried new spouts, cut open on top to see if the liquid pours better. Well, it does seem to work, but  judging from all the teapots I've tried out, the best spouts for pouring are the long "S" curved ones, are thick at the base and have a little lip to prevent the dripping. But these are the hardest to make.

That green is back

Since people were asking about it, I've redone quite a number of pieces in that bluish green that was my favourite three years ago. Well, as colors go, it portrays my mood nowdays: stormy blue and green.

 

 

Pots and autumn flowers

We had a very nice sunny autumn, and I really do hope this sunshine lasts till spring. So here are some pics of flower pots and what goes inside.


Yep, an hydrangea that is still blooming! I got this seedling from a flea market and it flowered twice this summer, courageous little fella:


Christmas roses, helleborus niger, that also go by the name of "Potter's wheel", lol:


And a pic of my autumnal blood grass, finally looking like it should, fiery red

Sun-kissed cups

I reduced slightly the beverage capacity, but they are still cups for generous servings.

And experimented with handles. These are my favourite:



and some citrus squeezers:

Bigger pots

It was time :) This summer will be 4 years that I started doing pottery, tackling throwing after a year of playing around with slabs.

And orchid pots


Thought this blood grass was a goner, till I stopped submerging it in water.

A lemon tree:

The first day of spring

Last year spring came 6 times, and then reverted to winter again. So here's some crocus pocus magic to make it stay =)
