"I will give myself time to grow."
 
This piece was made out of necessity, the phrase was something I needed to hear and say to myself and this vase served as a tangible remidner of just that. I hope it serves you the same purpose.  The reason for the flowers on the piece was because I wait so long for my flowers to bloom and I get so excited when there's a single flower and I realized I should give myself the same level of patience!
 
While glazing these pieces I came to a realization, I was stuck. I felt trapped in a sort of creative lull and I didn't know how to break out of it. So, I grabbed my underglazes and my paint palettes and got added water to every compartment and just a drop of color to each, creating a watercolor like effect. I'm not very comfortable with watercolors as is so homemade watercolor glazes was a whole new world! Using these loosened me up so much so that I began to experiment with color combos, layers, and drips in a child-like manner. Adding the glaze pencil on top was something I always wanted to do and I hope to get some more colored pencils to use in the future! 
 
PLEASE NOTE: This piece was made from pre-processed clay which means it's foodsafe! This also allows me to do more ornate trimming and for a thinner and lighter piece all together!
