Crowns...a study in ceramic crowns

Crowning around with more ceramic crowns.  A friend suggested to try to make ten of them  -- investigate the study / technique in more depth than one or two would provide.   Spray paint for one to achieve the gold more in line with the project than using gold luster glaze (which w/b prettier, but will wait until perfect execution of the base/stones)

Have some less traditional, and one very traditional (!) in mind.

Bowl

Simple, not quite symmetrical.

Snowman and Snowy

I was looking for Knut among some old pictures from Berlin, and came across this -- one of the staff had created during a break (a smoking one perhaps?)..outside front door of business of my friend in Prague. I hadn't remembered the skis and  poles..but I had remembered Snowy. So nice to take a small moment for some fun....and bring joy to those who came upon him..limited viewership, as it was behind gate set far back from road. 

Infinity -- in porcelain

Found that porcelain allowed me to hold shape differently than other clay I have used. More to explore.

Waterfall....

Hmmmm, certainly veering off things I created by hand, which I do -- veer and create stuff sometimes. Anyhow, fantastic walk, including glimpse of this waterfall...and the pleasure of being on the wrong path -- a beautiful one, but added an extra loop...which is course is how we can discover good things.

Peace.....

Peace.....and if it does not begin with me, at least let it include me...and all of us.

Ceramic Crowns ..with "jewels"

Queen bee?!
