CRYING - by Galway Kinnell
Crying only a little bit
is no use. You must cry
until your pillow is soaked!
Then you can get up and laugh.
Then you can jump in the shower
and splash-splash-splash!
Then you can throw open your window
and, “Ha ha! ha ha!”
And if people say, “Hey
what’s going on up there?”
“Ha ha!“ sing back, "Happiness
was hiding in the last tear!
I wept it! Ha ha!”
I delighted in making this little sculpture, trying to make big gloppy tears that run and collect like in a cartoon. The figure is massive from the front but from the side you see they are flat and dented in– already opening up to an airy dancing skeleton.
This might be my new favorite! 🕸 #handmadeceramics #handmademug #handpaintedceramics #underglazepainting #natureart #argiopespider https://www.instagram.com/p/ClwJo1oufDU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Big garden mushroom with slugs! 🐌🍄 I’ve had so much fun making these, and I love how much colour they add to the garden 😋 #pottery #potterymushroom #ceramicmushroom #ceramics #handmade #handbuilt #glazedpottery #underglaze #underglazepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfud1TWgvnb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I told myself I was going to take pictures before doing the final glazing and I managed to get one mug out of 8 pieces 🤦🏼♀️ oh well, hopefully they make through the kiln okay since I decided to do a new glazing process on all these pieces 🎉 🌸 But the one I did get pictures of is a wildflower mug with stylized native plants (coneflowers, oxeeye daisy's, goldenrod, verbena, rudbeckia, & tickseed). 🏵️ If it turns out good this is going to be one of many pieces sold in my first ceramic market! 🌼 #ceramic #handcraftedmug #handpaintedceramics #wildflowers #natureart #underglazepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBNdsQurvs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
