so glad to have captured some art pieces for reference and remembrance at the musee d'orsay.

in color and texture they were all so alive, so graceful.

inspirational views, both inside and out :)

a little village of tiny tombs.  so special in stone structure. all with their own address.  every one so thoughtful and unique. Pere Lachaise in Paris, a gigantic cemetery. Sweet and honoring and not a bit dark.

and there...nature over-takes with tiny gardens in ceramic forms  

...and glass windows celebrate ongoing light!

...and the plant world finds celebration among human celebration and we become one :)

Completing some under glazing this week and taking a shop keeping holiday.

Polishing up some new metal castings and discovered 2 tiny forgotten spoons in my polishing drum :) 

at last new tiny box experiments have been through their first slow cooking at 1945 degrees.

unimaginably hot! :)

on to an under glaze to highlight their delicate features.

my current doings of small things with great love :)

i have been here, collecting:)  appreciating tiny abundance and perfection.

i can't believe this took me so long...and i am relieved to be finished with all puzzles until next winter :) 

it required a different part of my brain to focus that hard on tiny details of texture and color and the shape of puzzle pieces.  

to be in the moment that much instead of off mentally in the distance. 

puzzles are really good for me in that way.  

but all i really wanted to do was wander through the tiny streets and put the tiny buildings in place.
