iznik

Our workshop has been on hiatus for more than a month now due to problems with electricity, but it's difficult to stay weaned of pots and cups for a long time, so I had a stroll to the Musée de Sèvres. So here are some iznik patterns, a bit blurry but still lovely.

In the midst of this cold

These geraniums flowered all summer, autumn and they are still at it! But since it's getting icier by the minute I have them inside the house, now.

Last year's quince meets this year's flowers.

Images of my new year

For my winter break I had lots of mountains. For starters the very snow laden Alpes, a bit of Pyrenees viewen from above and for dessert lovely sunshine in the mountains of Valencia, Spain. So that's why my latest pottery looks like this. Very lemonny.

I tried several new flowers, all unknown to me except clover, tansy and plantain...
