“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
― John Lubbock, The Use Of Life
Like looking at clouds,
Are there any images
that you see in this unnamed
newly pit fired vase?
Top picture-cooking pan kept on fire.
Bottom picture- face of a joker.
Thanks for sharing…it’s always interesting to create perception of an abstract form.
I can see what you mean by the first post. The interesting thing with pit firing is that you have no control over what appears on the vases. You can only influence it with what you add in the reduction materials. I hope you are well and your week is off to a great start.
In the top picture, a teddy bear, a bird, and an autumn leaf. In the bottom picture, a bird and a flying machine (I forget what a flier that looks like it is called).
I can definitely see that sutumn leaf and the bird. Hope you are well!
Birds.
And also your writing
Top picture – A cyclops falling after losing his head to the red-handed man in the foreground
Bottom picture: a red dragon lying, and a purple dragon looking about in the fog
I can totally see the red dragon! I love your very creative answer of mythological proportions! Thanks so much for your comment and I hope your week is off to a great start!
Another good story. I love reading your posts every morning. They set the tone to my day. This one I shared to my pinterest account.
Thank you! Honoured to be a part of your day 🙏
love this :} the first side i see the back of a bear walking into the distance, a sack on his left shoulder. the back side reminds me of Kazuo Ohno’s face paint in his performance “Admiring La Argentina”
The bear siting has been a popular answer. It makes me feel like I should sculpt some bears for the raku firings! Thanks so much for your comment and I hope that your week is off to a great start!
you’re welcome….same to you!
2nd photo – head of a grasshopper, 3rd – face of a clown !
Thanks for your comment! I can see the grasshopper, but fortunately for me I can not see the clown. Which is good, because for some reason I have a big aversion to clowns! I hope your week is off to a great start.
One side, I see a frog with a small fish. Opposite side, I see my usual big smiling face.
I can see the fish! It’s great you have a usual smile, that is a beautiful thing. I hope your week is off to a good start and inspiring that smile. Thank you for commenting.
the top image, I see a figure of a person that reminds me of Millet’s The Gleaners, and the bottom, I see a red wheelbarrow foreground with what could be other Gleaners working behind it
It’s an honour to have a piece compared to such a well known artist and I do definitely see the wheelbarrow. I hope your week is off to a great start and you are doing well. Thanks so much for your kind comment.
I see a giant 😘
I see stillness and permanence. A desire to remain in one place. The colors make me feel grounded.
