Playing with clay...

Day at the beach

It is always a sure way to put a spring in the step. A very strange and overcast day, sometimes the sun pushed through creating fabulous luminous cloud formations. The air was sharp and cold .

Two Things

  Pipi Vincenzo announces spring,

and Snowdrops...

Another Bird

On this morning's walk I found this piece of bark that had the exact shape of a birds head and beak so I gave it a body...

Porcelain Bird

Today, in keeping with my plan to get started with a variety of small projects, I made a pinched porcelain bird.    
It is good to get a feel for the medium again and I very much enjoyed the hand-building of clay and would like to explore it more as I go.

Walking with Pia

Everyday we walk.
Getting into the habit of  having the camera with me, it does make you view things in a different way.

There was beautiful light today: a combination of sun, rain and wind... with the first licks of green appearing.

A Pause...

In the past year, having taken a step back from making art work, I felt ready to explore new directions and to get back to the playful experimental stage that is always so exiting.
Now I have decided to just start, not to think about the outcome just yet, the freedom to explore new media and techniques and see what develops.
I shall use this space as a virtual journal, a good way to start playing with my camera every day.
Do join me if you like.

But first a cup of tea...
