Bowl Full of Berries

It is so very special when someone shares some of their garden's bountiful harvest. I was the recipient of some delicious red raspberries! They looked beautiful in my bowl. I had a renewed appreciation for this bowl because the green actually matches my newly painted kitchen walls. The glaze is Seamist with a drizzle of Iridescent Iron glaze. Both glazes are by Standard Ceramics. The raspberries tasted delicious, by the way.

Bowl and Shallots

It has been an extremely hot and dry summer and as a result, productivity is near zero. I have been using this time to review pottery that I deem successfully glazed that I want to try to duplicate. This bowl is one of my favorites. Layered Seattle Pottery glazes of Grey Stone and Opaque White give this noodle bowl such a rustic look. The shallots were a nice discovery. I could only grow onions and shallots this year since our mild winter spawned hoards/clouds of grasshoppers. Yes, masses of grasshoppers are called a cloud. They will eventually rule the world, by the way, unless we start eating them. Ewwww.
