Some Words on Work

I write and collage; I knit and spin; I carve, shape, throw and play. Sometimes the practices overlap.​​

I have fewer words of advice these days. I find I want to sing, I want to dance. I know what I don't want.

How to Make a Cup with Secret Powers:

  • Throw on the wheel. Imbue the piece with peace. 

  • Carve facets as if they were cutting precious stone. 

  • Apply secret patterns to those facets. 

  • Bless the cups with fire to harden and destroy wickedness. 

  • Paint wishes and dreams in front and behind

  • Fire once more to seal the spell.
