calm in your heart

“peace: it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.” — unknown

It is my hope that you find inspiration and comfort from this beautiful quote as much as I have.
Namaste.

Life and Abundance

I love the symbols found in Native American art. I enjoy reading about the symbols and their meanings. Even more so hearing the artists speak about the symbols they choose to put into their works of art. I used the life spiral and corn symbol on this tile. Both of these represent life and abundance. Corn is a mainstay in many Native American tribes. This is one out of a set of four that art for sale in my ETSY store.
Namaste.

Peace Under Fire

Here are three of my pieces (two of them peaces!) waiting to go into the kiln for a bisque firing. I love the process that get to this point. The two peace signs are for sale in my ETSY store . . . . see the link to the left. The mug was made for someone special.
I hope you have had a peaceful Monday and are sharing it with your someone special.
Namaste.

Peaceful Retreat

I've made some birdhouses this past year out of clay. I love unusual, brightly colored birdhouses. They might not all be practical but they sure add color and fun to my garden!! Here is one that just came out of the kiln a few weeks ago. I hope whoever purchases this from my ETSY store finds a special place for it and that one lucky bird family makes it their home.
Namaste.

New PEACE!

Okay . . . please pardon the pun in the title. :) I've been making some new "peaces" for my ETSY store. Here is one in warm tones of yellow, orange and red. I'm pretty happy with the textures and colors.

Garden Peace Angel

I've been working on creating a garden peace angel to sell in my ETSY store. Here is a prototype . . . . what do you think? I'd love some feedback.
Peace!

Flower Power

I love plants, flowers, trees and even weeds! These living things (and many others) inspire my pottery. These four tiles are for sale in my ETSY shop. Yes, a shameless plug! However flowers bring such joy to my life wherever I find them. I love to know their names and usually have my camera with me to snap a pic and then rush home to look them up in my collection of books.
Flowers provide me with a time to gaze at their beauty . . . a moment of peace and reflection.
