Taper candle holder in Micro-Cerulean glaze with sulphur cosmos leaf impression. This lovely glaze from Mayco is a medium translucent blue with an aqua float that breaks over texture and blooms with blue micro-crystals. I’m just one of those people who has to bring the light inside once daylight savings time hits. One of the ways to do that is to light candles at dinner time, no matter what is served. To that end, I’ve been making taper candle holders. I hope you start a tradition of lighting candles over hot dogs or pizza or something exquisite! Taper candle not included, but I do sell 100% hand-dipped beeswax tapers at my studio.
6.5” tall by 3” diameter
Modeled after a 1960s Danish modern design, my cheerful bird bowls work equally well as planters for succulents or for serving happy soup. Matte underglaze on the exterior, fully glazed on the interior. Currently planted with a succulent, which you can have if you pick up, but I’ll take the succulent out if I’m shipping to you.

I just love taper candles at the dinner table for normal, ordinary nights, especially when daylight savings time kicks in. I’ll light multiple candles at dinnertime for a pizza dinner or a steak dinner. Candles add mystery, ambiance, and a sense of wonder. To that end, I’ve started carrying Big Dipper Wax Works 100% beeswax taper candles in my studio gallery. And, I’ve been making pottery taper candle holders. Bring the light in during dark days.
This candle holder looks more like Mullein leaves than anything else, so that’s what I’m calling it. Candle not included.

This bowl is a trophy piece! In the cameo center is porcelain vine, glazed in my bittersweet glaze combo—red on the leaves and amber over all. In this case, there are also red clay “berry” accents. Two outer rings of iron-oxide-washed church-key pattern delineate the cameo from the frieze. The frieze features three fern impressions in an iron-rich deep amber celadon. The bowl is trimmed in black. Totally one of a kind.

New Prints: Bearing Witness Volume 1
Bearing Witness is the title I chose for a project I began at the beginning of Trump’s second term in office. I kept a field-notes style notebook, in which I recorded what I saw in the natural world around me as well as monitoring the news of our democracy under attack. It was both healing and disturbing to keep up this practice daily, but it was my way of bearing witness to the fragility and beauty of both nature and our political reality.
Often, I found it difficult to choose which bits of the bountiful natural world I wanted to bring attention to in any given period. It was even more difficult to choose which bits of the news to highlight. The juxtaposition is meant to be jarring and thought-provoking.
Each page is packed with information, including the common and Latin names of each species, the date I saw it, and sometimes some notes on the location where I saw it. On the top right are the coordinates of where I was during the period covered; the top left indicates the dates covered, and these vary in length. Also included on each page is the date, source , and authors of the news clips I’ve included.
I followed a few of my own “rules.” I had to “see” or “hear” a species to include it. Wherever possible, I used my own photographs as references for the drawings, but I sometimes had to resort to finding reference images on-line. For the most part, these pages bear witness to the flora and fauna of Albemarle County, Virginia, but I also travelled to Wisconsin and to the UK during the past year. Though the flora and fauna from those pages reflect what I saw in those locations, the news bits stayed focused on what was going in in the U.S. I may have made a few errors in species identification, and for that I apologize.

Feb 12-17, 2025 depicts a Virginia opossum, a North American river otter, and a brown thrasher
This big, tall bowl with handles is a shape I used to make often. My mother serves salads out of hers, and others have served pasta or soups. It would also make a lovely planter for orchids and ferns. This one features my new Bittersweet glaze combination of red leaves over dark amber. The botanical here is privet. The interior is glazed in black, then coated with Cosmic Tea Dust glaze for added sparkle. (There are four small tall Bittersweet bowls that would match it beautifully if you’d like to make a set.)
