BURIED TREASURE

 

Seth Apter, a favourite artist/blogger from the USA, has an annual challenge and link-up that he calls 'Buried Treasure'. We are to resurrect a favourite blog post from the past.
 
I've chosen this from Tuesday, July 26, 2011. It was my first year of blogging, and sometimes I forget that I was once a potter.

Tea... Inspired

Inspiration Avenue time again.... this week it's 'Tea'.  For a potter, not too hard as I am known for my 'funky' teapots and love making them.  Some are functional, but most are just 'fun'. 

Naturally I must promote my country to all those who live elesewhere...

Australia Teapot

... and my most ridiculous non-functional teapot...

Hullo Sailor

... and one I love ....

The Ritual Of Tea


My first love tho' is painting...

Coffee (or perhaps tea?) In The Square
... and mixed media/collage...

Black Tea

Cold drink anyone?

  2. I had actually forgotten you made teapots, but remember this post, now that you shared it again. Of course, I simply adore anything tea related, even though I'm a coffee addict. And of course, your mixed media collage is incredible!!

  8. It was so nice to see a much older post of yours Jo! I can see how far you've come with your painting and collage techniques, and your teapots are fantastic!

  9. I didn't know you were a potter. Those are gorgeous teapots. I recently started throwing pots on the wheel again after a 20 year hiatus. My skills are quite basic, but I love the feel of clay under my hands. What fun to see you buried treasure and learn about this other side of your artistic talent.

  12. Those tea pots are wonderful, and a complete surprise. I knew you were a gifted painter and mixed media/collage artist, but these pots reveal another facet of your talent. I especially love "the ritual of tea", but they are all quite exceptional! So glad you shared these again!
