Like a sunflower I saw on the highway pushing it's way through a tiny hole in the asphalt.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Leslie, the way I feel about many of the pieces I post here is something I can't quite put into words. They just blow me away.<BR/><BR/>Megha, I thought you would love these pieces. I miss "seeing" you but understand how busy you are. Maybe one day soon you will get back to clay. You've certainly got a feel for it.<BR/><BR/>Julie, they are all quite exquisite aren't they?<BR/><BR/>Violette, glad you enjoyed them.<BR/><BR/>Mmm, clay is another avenue I would love to explore.<BR/><BR/>Mary Ann, they do have that effect on one....such beauty!<BR/><BR/>Roxanne, I feel the same way....itching to play with clay, but I have so many ideas I still want to do with wood.
