I got a lot of great hand crafted treasures at the craft fair and I thought it would be fun to share them with the world. The first is from Rustic Revolution Pottery and made by artist Lily Greer.
The outside is white with loopy cobalt flowers, which she created by scratching into it’s surface. They kind of remind me of stars as well. The glaze on the inside is a variegated blue and earthy shades, reminiscent of painterly surf. If you could gaze into it you would see a swirl at the very bottom, like a whirl pool or spinning galaxy. It even has a gentle spout for pouring.
Lily tells us on her website that her “studies in Zen and Pagan spiritual traditions has lead me to believe that the spirituality of everyday existence is of utmost importance. Through my work I try to bring a sense of calm, sacredness to every day objects.”
When I gaze in to this vessel it really feels like something special. This is the magical result of combining clay, time, and sensitive human imagination, intention and hands. I think it is truly lovely.
(PS: The flowers in this image are called Forsythia.)
