Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. I still can't believe I lost so much. Of the pots in this picture, all but the jar were destroyed in the fire.  The jar is left because it was in a gallery. I took all my work out of the galleries I was in so I have a couple dozen pieces that I'll keep for my personal use.

Your colors and the art are just incredible!! I love the blackline~ it really gives definition to the wonderful painting. You've created a PRIZE!!

[Sugar Bowl, California Wildflowers]

Totally sweet little pot! So much personality. Someone's going to love using this beauty.

[Fancy fish]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Beautiful shapes and designs. You are truly an artist!

[Deep Serving Bowl]

This is a really lovely bowl. Classic shape and a wonderfully subtle glaze. How large is it?

Thank you, Grype.  I love doing the carving!!

Thanks, Tom. Yes, it's stoneware, ^6. I like color, but also need durability for practicality of use, especially for mugs and bowls, which are 70% of my sales. The underglazes I use are Amaco Velvets and the ones I use keep their color at ^6.

[003 Red Bud Teapot]

Thanks, Marko. I just opened an etsy shop and have had a lot of likes but no sales yet. I sell at a few select local art fairs and in a few local galleries.

Thanks, Marko. No, I don't even own an airbrush.  The underglazes are applied with a 1" sop brush on my wheel. I blend as I go.

[039 Sunburst Garden Platter]

Thanks, Marko.  These are all bisqued at ^07 with underglazes on and glaze fired to ^6 oxidation. Yes all the designs are freehand, although I block it out into 8ths to get started. The colored underglaze,  the blackline underglaze and the dotted accents take me about 90 minutes to apply. The platter is 12" diamete.

Thanks, Alabama.  I really love folk art, mostly Central American and Eastern European, and yes Pennsylvania Dutch, sgraffito and majolica.
