  2. love the composition of shapes, hues, patterns, light. the pot reminds me somehow of "kintsugi" - the ancient art of fixing broken pottery with gold, turning ugly brakes into beautiful fixes as i read somewhere. such a delight to my eyes and soul. thank you!

    1. yes, i know that, and they look wonderful, those gold-repaired bowls! i will never get accustomed to the fact that such delights exist in japan at every street corner, so humbly...

  3. Did you ever notice how close the word pottery is to the word poetry?

  4. mi se pare ca seaman cu un strajer,nu? adica stiu ca pozitionarea florilor al demonstra contrariul, insa florile sunt cele strajuite mereu,cred, iar intrebarea mea esentiala este: vaza este goala sau nu?...poate doar asa am afla rolul fiecareia in configuratie:)

    as trai in mijlocul acelor pasteluri luate din vise.

  8. no, it is somewhere in a temple precinct, i think...

    the quiet daze of the soul on the beautiful apparent brokeness of the time worn - this is so beautifully put that i want to say it loud, many many times, like a poem, a mantra...

    hugs back :-)

    1. There is a seemingly tactile quality to many of your pics, but particularly in this first one. So many textures, so invinting to feel them. Great series!
