Sara's Pots

Sara Sanders makes these exquisite little pots up in NYC.  They are small, paper thin, with the sweetest decoration you'd ever wish to see on clay. Extremely fine work, multiple firings. These small beauties make you happy to see and hold.  The smaller ones are around 1 inch in diameter, the largest a shade less than 2.5 inches across. Jewels, I tell you...

Phil's Boat

This is the boat the Phil Sanders built.  Well, the half of a boat.  By hand, from found materials. Along with the coins (cast and fired porcelain, mason stained). And the hand-sewn money bag. And the prints and etched lead on the wall. And the multiple edition sandbox, frame and another hand-sewn bag, which I suspect holds some treasure. Phil knows how to make stuff. Wait till you hear about his next big project!

This is a blog of benign neglect...

late winter sun, 75 degrees, 630pm 

gin and tonic on the rail

Back from a great trip to Brooklyn (my first time there, I HEART Brooklyn!)  Thanks to Phil and Sara, most awesome hosts.  Walked the streets, saw some art, ate, drank, became human again, or at least reawakened the best parts of me after winter hibernation.  (not to say it wasn't COLD in a big way).

Home, then work part of the weekend, then work today, the wheel turns, but with new ideas and insights.  A burst of teaser warm spring-like weather (oh, it'll change back and break our hearts) but tonight is tuna on the barbie and a G & T to celebrate.  The birds are singing the sun is shining and life, she is good.

At the moment...and honestly, what else is there, really?
