ribbed 'paper' cup and saucer

porcelain

waterlily; white with red, blue and bronze

porcelain with oxides and pigments, insides glazed
fired at 1280°C

in the shade of the trees

it is summer and terribly warm and it didn't seem a good idea
to heat the kiln..... but these days I had to....
so it was better to leave my atelier alone
and to stay under the shady trees..

I promised you a Rose Garden

"I promised you a rose garden"
(detail)
selected for L'Alcora 2009 (Spain)

"...I never promised you a rose garden, along with the sunshine,
there's gotta be a little rain sometimes...", says the song..
But what if I dìd promise you a Rose Garden...??
Maybe with a little love and fantasy my fragile roses will be
strong enough to create all on their own a beautiful garden with
all the fragrances of spring and summer ...
(and of autumn and winter too..!)
