Follow Your Heart

 Here is a collection of some of my hand made hearts. A tiny 3.5 inch 'tuck a note' heart. A zip heart pouch and a couple of patchwork & sashiko stuffed stitched hearts measuring 6 inches.

Pine Cone Still Life

Pine cones scattering the woodland floor are a symbol of autumn and I couldn't resist gathering these up and placing them into this vintage Syroco bowl I have.

 

 Syroco wood is a unique material created by the Syracuse Ornamental Company known for its resemblance to wood. The molded wood pulp material was popular from the 1930's till the 1960's and often used in home decor products like mirrors, wall art and furniture.

Pottery Art Vessels

Found these simple, yet beautiful pottery pieces while out 'junkin'. And they are very useful vessels as you can see :)

Two appear to be thrown stoneware pieces; the vessel with the bamboo handle and the mug. The smaller vessel with Asian characters appears to have been hand thrown and glazed. 

The vessel with the bamboo handle and the smaller glazed vessel have potter maker's marks. 

The mug was signed by Ron Labaire '84. I did a bit of research and learned he was a potter for many years and was owner of 'Labaire Pottery Gallery of Fine Crafts'. He passed away in 2021.
