I went to a class about mushrooms on Sunday. It was fantastic: a walk to find some, inoculating a log and then cooking mushrooms.
Fascinating creatures. Now I want to learn more about them.

“That” time of the year when is always a beautiful surprise including a transformation of one of them (see alt text)

Tests for frozen pond combos since the piece cracked.

Which one is your favorite?

#glaze #pottery #frozenpond
Ceramic fruit bowl that cracked and I used it to test combinations of glazes following the frozen pond technique. There are 12 combinations using either black (obsidian - left side) or red (snapdragon - right side).

Every now and then I find really cool people/artists here and she is one of them: @gallowayesp.bsky.social
Her project around Endangered Species carved in ceramic urns is fantastic!
Check her work and support this project!

New chick in the area!
(The glaze ran way more than I expected - thank Lord I had it on top of a little kiln furniture!)
This will stay here protecting my vegetable garden 🪴

It looks like a cell organelle, doesn’t it?
The color got my eyes.

And to end the day, a bird…or a tree, or a tree bird, or a bird tree?

There’s a bird sitting on a tree and the bird has a great camouflage and looks like a branch of the tree. Detail of the bird’s head against a blue sky.

A favorite. Find it very elegant 🎩

#birdsoftheworld #avesdobrasil #birds #nature #photography
A tall bird - I believe from the heron’s family - from Brazil. Picture taken by me at Pantanal (Brazilian wetlands). The feathers are brown, beige and the bird has a long neck.

Incredible birds! I believe this one is the Amazon kingfisher.
I took this picture while in the Pantanal area and in a moving car 😅

Photo of a kingfisher (Amazon kingfisher). The bird is on a tiny branch of a tree and there are few leaves around. This bird has a black head and green/blue, almost metallic feathers.

I’ve been traveling to discover things I knew were there yet what I saw is even better than any dream!
I’m particularly impressed by the conservation programs for the Hyacinth Macaw (Blue Macaw) and the Brazilian Jaguar (Onçafari).

#pantanal #brazil #birds #nature #conservation
2 birds (silhouette) kissing each other. You can’t see much of them but these are some of the Brazilian parrots from Pantanal. A Blue Macaw couple. Amazing birds on top of a tree. You can’t only see some branches from the tree. A unique nocturnal bird from Pantanal in Brazil. Looks like an owl but is not. This one is mostly white. I learned they stay on the same branch for days while nesting. Impressive! This one is sitting on top of a branch which matches its colors creating a great camouflage. A toucan on top of a tree. The toucan is. Bit hidden but the beak is very visible due to its orange’s color.

It may not be special to those who throw all the time but after 2 frozen shoulders (one surgery), neck pain, physical therapy, acupuncture, and gyrotonic, this is the first time I threw a piece that I really liked.
Feels like my shoulders are finally talking with each other!

It’s time!

#pottery #slabwork #clock
Ceramic bowl in white clay drying on a rack with the sun hitting it almost like a clock. This piece needs to be bisque fired to then be glazed.

What is your style? Mine? No clue! I love experimenting!

Maybe this is a good definition of my style: fearless (most of the time) way of trying something new.

I try to recycle clay, glazes, underglazes.
These two pieces are hand-built with recycled clay.
I want to keep them as closer to this as possible so I’m considering glazing only inside (still need to bisque fire them).
What kind of glaze you think it could work? I thought of falls creek.
#pottery
Two ceramic vases using recycled clay without mixing them too much as I wanted to give a marbled look. I need to bisque fire them and have been thinking about the glaze I will add. Thoughts and suggestions are welcome!

I’m not sure how to explain this effect on the glaze but I like it very much!
Plus a little surprise inside!
