Raku Garden Light

I was working with the idea of

another pot sculpture in mind

and did not have as much clay

rolled out as I thought. I looked

at it a minute and the idea popped

in my head, leave the bottom open.

I pictured in my mind, the raku sagent

green glaze shimmering in my garden.
And then came the idea that sprung

forth to completion. Why not leave

it open, and put one of my solar garden

lights inside. You can see how it will look

in the day time. I will take a picture later

in the evening for you to see how it looks

at night.
Looking through the tunnel and

imaging how the light will look

in the evening.
A close up of the deep sculptural

texture I like to do. There is something

so freeing about letting your tools

be an extension of your feelings!
I like an uneven top and overlapping

sides almost stitching the clay together

it has a sewn look...my Mother would

be so pleased. She tried to teach me to

sew, now look I can!-With clay!!
The colors are so vibrant and rich, it is almost like pistachio ice cream with caramel on top!
