Getting Naked in March, But I Have to Finish Some Renos First!
Spring is nearly here and I have been trying to finish up a few little reno projects around the house. This includes a reimagining of my mantle place, because every home needs a heart and for our ours it will be the hearth.

Around here, winters are often grey and snowy, so when the sun breaks through the clouds, it makes it all the more special.
This painting is to celebrate those moments.
Mother of Dragons
In honour of the return of ‘Game of Thrones’ this vase is named ‘Mother of Dragons’ after Daenrys Targaryen. Motherhood is always challenging, but imagine trying to raise three willful dragons. The daycare costs alone must cost a fortune and imagine trying to hire a nanny, though Arya may be a suitable candidate, and possible future sister-in-law.
Remembrance of Trees
And here is your first peak at my new raku sculpture! My goal when glazing this piece for the raku was to get some of the red/brown metallic colours on the piece of the trunk and some of golden silvery metallic colours elsewhere.
Name That Vase
Name that Vase! Here is where you can suggest a name, create a story, poem or prose for this raku pottery vase.

3 Magical Effects of Raku
