It’s a grey day here in Brisvegas, just the kind of light I like. Because the work I make is often very fine porcelain, it is greatly affected by light. The same piece can look so different over the course of a day depending on the changes in light. This grey muted light is my favourite. It seems to bring out the translucency in a very soft way. Bright sunlight can make the pieces look amazingly thin and translucent, but they can also look a bit blown out, over exposed. This soft light is my favourite. I often wander around my house just checking out what different pieces of my work look like at different times and photographing them (yes, I am an exciting woman)!!It’s research of sorts, and also a great way to procrastinate and just mooch around the house under the comforting illusion that I am actually working!

What perfect light! I love love the wobbly plates... gives each cup and saucer and different 'personality' and i can't decide which is my favourite!
These are absolutely beautiful..how gorgeous is their wonkiness?
thanks Simone and rebeccah! I'm loving a bit of the wonk and wobble at the moment. A lot of my work is very streamlined and finicky so sometimes it's nice to have a break from that and do the wobble!
Hi Mel, I am loving your pottery since I came across your blog the other day. The variations in colour you have achieved with these teacups is lovely.
