Everything begins somewhere! Here, I'm showing a metaphoric birth and realization of an idea. I like the concept of wonderful things arising from a fertile mental ground.......

Drifting Off....

There are times when I feel that my head will surely explode with all the information and ideas held within. And then, there are gentler times when (like a slow leak) all that good stuff drifts and flows to surround....

The size of this small raku mask is 3 1/2" high by 1 5/8".

The size of the pod is 3" high by 3/4" wide and has been multi fired with a final raku glaze firing.
