Ode to the Mexican Hat Wildflower

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

Lately I have been working the Mexican Hat wildflower motif in clay and when I started looking back through photos for this post, I realized that I have been making Mexican Hats in some form or another for years now. Each year these amazing flowers bloom here at the house and they have apparently been more of an inspiration to my art than I had ever realized!

Pottery Bearded Iris Tile

Friday, February 18th, 2011

I drew this pretty Bearded Iris in pencil back when I was in high school. I have pulled the drawing out over the years and just never could seem to find the right way to use it. Finally I found its purpose! I love how the transparent larkspur purple-blue glaze allowed me to get this watercolor effect on the tile.
