Happy Early Birthday To - Me.

OK my big day is not for two weeks (so no songs yet). I was looking at these lovely ceramics by ShoshonaSnow on Etsy- and decided what a great birthday present to get for myself. My hubby said - "perfect" ( I asked because I wanted to make sure he did not have any special gift planned). Shoshona was really great about packing everything so nicely and - right away - (I feel like I just ordered them yesterday )- They came in the mail.

I just had to show them off in these two photos (two of my hand-printed table cloths are under the pieces).



After chatting I found out Shoshona loves lino-block printing too - and her carving of the clay is a way of getting that type of graphic pattern into her work. I was attracted to the graphic nature right away - go figure.

I can't wait to display these in my new house. (The house - unfortunately cannot be packed up and shipped right away like these pieces - and looks like mid July for a move-in date, She says, waiting patiently).
