Rhubarb leaf and bowl

This is a rhubarb leaf, 10 inches long, it turned out grat with lots of detail of veins and indentations. The small bowl is also a rhubarb bowl and the one not finished is a grape leaf bowl yet to be kilnfired and glazed.

BLOOMS

This is a beautiful moth we found in the bottom of the boat. Unfortunately is is dead, I saved it to see if I can preserve it somehow. Ducks are also finding our dock to be a good resting place. Not sure what kind this is, I still need to look it up. The summer sun is finally warming up the flowers and bring on the blooms.

River Glass Necklace

Tis is one piece of jewelry I did this spring from collected glass out of the St Lawrence River. I have made a few necklaces and earings. I have a basket full of it and many shells and glass in the garden from the river. I have other ideas for the glass but not had the time to work on any. The spring weather has been so cold and wet that most weekends we are all doing yard work or gardening.

I'm grateful to have this much done and feel it turned out quite nice.

New leaves

I have a few new bowls done for Mares wares festival on July 1st. Also a few rhubarb leaves and grape vine leaves. The weather just does not want to co-operate this spring, I would have so much more done if it were nice out there. I will be at Mares reguardless and as in last year, everyone will see so many talented artists and have wonderful music to listen to.

wildlife at my home

Here are two of the friendly wildlife at my home this week. We have a few unfriendly runts-the mink at the shoreline are not so friendly as lil Bear found out.

I have been really enjoying taking pictures of these two beautiful creatures.
