Inside a Bubble

At times, I feel as if I'm viewing the world from inside a bubble. And, though the bubble surrounds and protects me, it is a fragile shell that could be burst at any time by the smallest thing. Of course, this means I must always carry my bubble wand and magic soap.

Seriously though, most of the time it is painful to see the world too clearly. And so, we all construct our own protective devices....

This little (4 1/4"high x 3 1/4"wide) piece is raku fired, with engobes and glaze. It is finished with colored pencils and matte varnish.
