Good and Worse Moments




Here are some results what I have done lately;a turtle with an interesting shield and a painting
from Monet in 3d. I did more lately but I had also some worse moments with bad results.I always keep the bad pieces, because I learn from them.

St Joris met a dragon


When I start working on an abstract piece often I have no idea.I hate preparation time and I like to start with clay and paint asap.Often when working the inspiration comes.For this piece I ám thinking of st Joris who met a dragon,as title.Or some fairytale figure that met a giant.

Looks it is Broken(2)


Fashion Tip for a Sharp Dress Man;Put glue over you best suit and roll like a pig in broken pieces of ceramics.Voilá,then wear a yellow tie and new shoes.

A Blog Block




Every good writer has a block sometimes.I don't know what to say today,so maybe I have a blog block.It is widely thought that writer's block is part of a natural ebb and flow in the creative process.

Sandcastles




Making sandcastles is a bit like life.One moment you have build a big castle and another moment a wave is coming and then you have a half castle.Another building I did this week was a church.

Less Weird



So far so good this week, I did 2 abstract pieces.I ám thinking of adding some little figurative parts to let look the piece less weird,but what? Maybe fishes or people or a little mc donald?

The Client is the King



Not done much claywork this week;I was on the road ,visiting some clients ,and I sold 14 pieces.I have all the tiles in a big basket when I visit a client.Some clients are rough like elephants when searching in the tile basket.

One of my clients broke a tile.In the past I was not that happy when this happens, but now I smile at the client and say "Maybe this brings me luck" thinking at the saying;the client is the king.

More Miniatures





Some other caracters and a small portrait try of my daughter.I do that every morning before I start working;one full hour of meditation on one leg.And all my sorrows disappear from my leg into the ground.

Miniature


Moi complaning about pottery?Sometimes on Monday morning before the coffee.But at other times it seems to me the most rewarding job a person could do ever.Not for the money but for the fun while working.Today I did a miniature in clay about a man with big muscles.

Fired


I ám happy with the biscuitporcelain that I use.The pieces are not too glossy and also not to rough.My piece the 'sleepingroom' turned out nice after firing.

Not nice to have a nightmare when sleeping,lucky it happens me not much.My last nightmare was that I has failed in highschool and instead of being a well payed salesman I was forced to became a potter.

Fox



I let the piece dry on the tile so I don't have to touch it anymore before it goes into the kiln.It goes together with the already fired tile in the kiln.
