     width: 13"
     height: 4 1/2"

for a second view.)
 9."Leaf Bowl"
     View #2

The foot of the bowl is
thrown and after the firing
it was permanently set 
with 3 amethysts and 6
Swarovski crystals.  ( I
create deep openings in
the wet clay, calibrated 
for shrinkage to exactly
fit the semi-precious 
stones in all my pieces.)

$350.


       
10. "Juniper Bowl"

       width: 6 1/2"
       height: 3"

This handbuilt porcelain
bowl has unglazed im-
pressions of juniper
leaves and gives the
feeling of pine trees
dancing around the
piece.

      width: 7"
      height: 3"

Very similar to the bowl
above except that the 
entire outer surface is 
glazed.  The tree forms
pick up the glaze and hold
it in the deep textures.
This piece has a thrown
foot set with amethysts
and Swarovski crystals.
$125.
      
12. "Heart Bowl"
Luscious high temp glaze
coupled with lace texture 
on this small handbuilt
bowl is enhanced by
the heart centered in the
middle of this sweet piece.
This bowl is "Dedicated
to the One I love"  (first
created on Valentine"s
day). 

$95.
13. "Pinched Vessels"
The earliest forms of
ancient pottery that we     
know of  were formed by
pinching a round ball of
clay gradually out from
the center. The resulting
forms leave  a beautiful
texture  resembling worn
and weathered rock.
These three pieces :
"Resting", "Open",and
"Beach Music" are
reminiscent of the 
natural world. 
$200  $175. and  $250.
