–a fresh crop of “littles” has sprouted

We like to call these diminutive tile  “the littles”. They may be small but they carry a big voice with their vibrant glazes. They are all  ‘of the hanging variety’ secured by an oxidized steel wire.  They range in size from a 1-inch square…

–a new flock seeks shelter at Belle’s Nest

A  new flock of birds has arrived to nest in our local foothills. I tried some new color combinations for this grouping–a few Miami Vice colors and some autumn mixtures with a little of this & a  little of that. Little song birds–all tiles…
