Happy Thor's Day! This raku vase, "Thor's Helmet," is inspired by the nebula of the same name.

It's a small reminder to look up, make something beautiful, and wish for a better world. ✨ Essential in these times. 🥰

A sharp, close-up photograph of a female Superb Fairywren perched on a weathered, horizontal grey wooden fence rail. The small, brown bird has its beak wide open in mid-song, with its long tail feathers fanned out and pointed upward. Its feathers are slightly ruffled, and its orange-brown eye is clear. The background is a soft, out-of-focus mix of green foliage and a clear blue sky, highlighting the bird’s spirited pose.

This female superb fairy wren was singing her heart out as the sun sank toward the horizon.

The National Museum of Denmark’s photo shows fourty-four annular (ring-shaped) translucent turquoise blue glass beads strung on a modern circular thread and displayed against a black background.

In 1885, Jens Jensen, a farmer, found the forty-four glass beads in a large cremation urn in the ploughed-over Kongehøj burial mound, near Humlum church, Denmark. The broken urn contained burnt bones, forty-four turquoise blue glass beads, and two gold spiral rings. The cremation burial is dated circa 1,100 BC. 

A research project published in 2015, analysed twenty-three blue glass beads from various Danish Bronze Age graves. The analysis showed that the glass of two of the beads originated in Egypt, and the others originated in Mesopotamia. The forty-four glass beads from Kongehøj at Humlum, originated in Mesopotamia. They date to the same long-distance exchange period as Baltic amber moving south. The research project links glass moving north with Baltic amber moving south, which points to complex, far-reaching trade and exchange in exotic goods some 3,000 years ago.

A little Easter magic for those who celebrate, and a tiny rabbit overlord to guard your treasures for those who don't 🐇😂

Happy Easter/Sunday!

I believe art is for everyone.

To keep my work accessible, I offer smaller successful test pieces for sale for $100 or less.

Pieces with this glaze proved quite popular. Until I make some more, this piece is last of it's kind.
