My own stories are often told in my pottery images. Thus this vase with 4 aspects of importance to my life. I have shared the first "Persist" side recently, so here are the rest of them.
Here's part of the creation of it, from Alchemy of Clay in 2017, and more completed work on it the next week.
I focused on a detail of otters Here on the vase, beneath the tree of life, with drawing on curved surfaces as the topic.
So I obviously made the 4 drawings to express myself.

"My grandma told me that the Universe is singing in the snowflakes, the raindrops, in the trees, the water, and all Creation. Physicists call this holistic holographic universe. Lakotas call it Taku Wakan Skan Skan/Mitakuye Oyasin, which means everything is connected and related in divine rhythm, vibration.
Remember the Lakotas know that the song sings the singer.
The Spirit sings the song.

I parked next to this jeep-like yellow monster. I feel so bad that a child has that window shade to look at in the back window. Eerie!

Good news - my iPad healed itself, with the latest update! I had no idea until a FB video had audio as well! The sound on the iPad worked again. So I checked out a new murder mystery to listen to while I’m sitting around waiting to heal. Can I get an update too?
...Barbara, your stories are told with your pottery images and mine with my photos.
ReplyDeleteWell, I stopped making pottery a few years back, so have my blog and a few iPhone photos to share these days. Plus the inspirational stuff…women’s rights, peace making, goddesses, environment.
DeleteHello Barb,
ReplyDeleteYour vase is lovely, I like how you added all the animals.
The kitty on the car window looks like it wants to escape.
I am glad your ipad is healed. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.
Animals and plants, and all of nature are important to me. Thanks for hosting the meme.
DeleteYour blog and photos are a great way to keep advocating for the environment and peace. Such a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It’s part of my healing from lung limitations to be able to share worldwide…a privilege thanks to Mr. Google.
DeleteWas ‘Persist’ really that long ago: 2017?
ReplyDeleteYes after women’s marches wearing ‘pussyhats’ in 2016 or 17. It’s a bit hard to remember the first trump fiasco, what with the pandemic! Resist has been more plentiful as a rallying cry. But persist is also important.
DeleteLovely vase. An artist friend of mine had a sign in his studio...Persevere.
ReplyDeleteThere is also that!
DeleteBeautiful pottery and what a beautiful way to express yourself. I love it. From your heart and mind to your hands and the clay. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am interested in forms and decorations but am not a great pottery. My vases are a bit heavy. But that’s what I could do when I did it!
DeleteImpressed with your pottery. That's a Phoenix bird, I assume?
ReplyDeleteGood guess. I really hadn’t seen any art of them, so it came out of my imagination…which is what art is all about.
ReplyDeleteLove the vase!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteYour pottery is so wonderful. I love the image of you marching!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I never thought of her as myself. Interesting
DeleteWOW how to you do it? Such clear lines on the vase? Love the shape and super love the drawings! Exceptional. Of course we all agree -"persist"! We must.
ReplyDeleteThere are pens of glaze which help one draw lines…thus my cartoonish pictures.
