week of the GNOME = a temporary thing...

...and maybe a lot less than a week.  It is always, by the way, the week of the frog in MY studio....

here is the last of the batch of gnome mugs for a special order... just before firing.  I will show the whole ...pack?  Community?  FLOCK???? later....
I am GLAD that I do not have to do multiples of things too often, I get bored as sh!t so quickly.....


I have been working this week on some nouveau ART NOUVEAU imaginings....what does that mean to me?  All the way down is a wild antique vase  with swirls and greenery, organic shapes, greens, etc. I love that stuff from 100 + years ago.  Here are my recent explorations that way....


(above--pottery by gary Rith, below, vase by somebody else--have a great weekend!)

    If you are into art nouveau you will like Stephanie Young's work. She was juried into the LNHC a couple of years ago. http://www.calmwaterdesigns.com/

    The glaze is particularly appropriate for the Art Nouveau designs. Loving all those gnomes, but like you I think I would be bonkers after doing so many of the same thing.

    The gnomes look so cute in the kiln. Please show them to us when you take them out.
