IMG_0911

Little Millie Mouse can't wait for the 'Mouse Castle' gates to open!  She's borrowed her mothers shoes and filled her handbag with edible goodies in anticipation of the big day! Now if only she could walk without tripping every two steps...

MOUSE CASTLE will open November 9th, 2012, at CASTLE IN THE AIR, in Berkeley, California!

Mysterious Porcelain...

1114596533_minifolk_piala

I am always excited when I find new approaches to porcelain painting.  These pieces by Milena Pirsteliene are available from ONA.  From the artists 'Folke' collection they are decorated with portraits of days gone by and text that is impossible to read, and overall craquelure  - making them all the more intriguing!  Lovely!!!

Another Collection...

Dscn8745

I've been a long time fan of the work of Diana Fayt! She draws and paints wonderful botanicals and birds onto hand-thrown stoneware clay! Most of my other dishes are antique, but there is something wonderfully whimsical and fun about her work that I just love ~ and of course, her craft skills shine through! I bought my first couple of plates from Art Stream in New Hampshire. Ironically Diana is based here in the Bay Area! One of these days I plan on going to her studio sale, but for now I find her work on Esty. Today, they hang in a cozy little area in my kitchen, but sooner or later, I'll have to move this little growing collection to a new wall!

Anna's Menagerie

Jug_swallows72

I am actually surprised that I haven't done a post on Anna Lambert until now. She is truly one of my favorite ceramic artists! Her handbuilt earthenware showcase her whimsical sensibility and love of nature! Her naturally colored pieces often feature beautiful organic shapes topped with delightful birds, fish or flowers. It would be impossible to chose just one!!! ENJOY!

The Ceramics of Jean-Baptiste Astier de Villatte

Evenementg

Having recently seen an article about (and falling in love with) the home of French ceramist Jean-Baptiste Astier de Villatte, I was delighted to find his work for sale on line! Architect and decorator, Jean-Baptiste studied in the School for Interior Design in Lyon. He has a gallery with a permanent exhibition in Chinon (France), where he shows and sells his creations. I especially love his figural work; busts, dolls, and other wonderful treasures that have a lovely sensibility and simplicity and charm about them, that captured my heart immediately!!!

Poetry in Clay

A couple of years ago I found an article on artist Roos Van de Velde of Belgium, in a French magazine. I've had the tear in my 'favorite' files since then, and was delighted when La Source aux Bois featured Roos' and her beautiful websight today! Roos' work and the way she lives her life, is pure poetry, filled with a magic light and tender delicacy. Breathtaking...!!!
