  1. Amazing! I think you need to check your white balance on your camera for those last few photos. I really like Descending Leaves. I look forward to a spring visit to your studio. I'm feeling a bit intimidated as I look at all your kiln loads of pots, and I am just beginning my 3rd carved pot for 2011..... and I'm pushing it!
    Bravo for your firings. What a treat for Baltimore.

  2. Yeah... I was working on adjusting the colors while you wrote... premature posting. The photos looked fine on my computer but online they were off. Please don't compare our production to yours. We make our living with our work.. entirely. I would love to be able to work that long on one piece. Your work shows it. It's beautiful, JoAnn.
