Your blog is a great way to keep friends and admirers updated. I think that would be a great addition to my website...currently I have a IN PROGRESS page.. I might need to add a blog and get input.:)

I work mainly on the wheel ..although various hand building techniques are worked into many pieces.

Teaching High school classes has opened up my abilities and technique levels. Many students need ways of success other than wheel throwing. 

My glazes are sprayed, dipped and  painted on depending on the glaze and the effects I am working towards.

Catherine, are your creations all thrown and are they porcelain or stoneware?  I could be motivated to try throwing again if I could alter them along the lines of your creations.  Also, do you only spray glazes?  I just love the glaze effects your get.

do you have a web site with a blog? I would love to see it.
The web site I've started does not have a blog as of yet ....although I have thought about it?

As for the leaning, although the picture looks like it is leaning, it is actually not.  Funny how pictures are so deceiving,

Thanks for tip on embedding picture, I should have been more observant, since this is similar to the blog I use for posting.  By the way, this is a very nicely designed site and I hope it grows.  Now I will have to check out all those other icons I now see, thanks to you!

They range in height from 10-20 inches.. I will go to your uploads..love this!  I am thinking they will lean a little after firing...this may add to the effect. Did yours?..to attach a pic click on the pic tab 2nd from the left  next to link..that will allow you to attach..see if that works :)

OMG, we really do have some common inspiration, I just made a table base (still need to get a round glass top) to cover this---forgot to get a photo of it and post it earlier, but the shape is so much like your shapes in picture you sent: --I couldn't figure out how to embed my photo in this comment as you did, so photo is in my uploads, the Mermaid table base. I like your freeform shapes better and you made so many, I have just managed one---how tall are your pieces? My table base started out about 18", but now is about 16"

Thanks Pauline...Looking through your work I can see we have a common inspiration..Nature. Love  your experimentation with natural forms ..the combinations of clays and the natural sandlike appearance . 

My experiments with this  again are drying as we speak. I rolled slabs of mixed clays to form a base for thrown water forms . I am still wondering about the glaze or unglazed treatment to give them. I do enjoy the soft glaze you have used on yours ..the shells beg to be touched !  below is an in progress pic
