bloom.

Our tiny island was pelted by hailstones, sleet and snow for most of the last week. Somehow, miraculously (to me, at least), this tiny pink rose bloomed outside my studio. I spotted a few before Christmas, but the wind tore them apart before I could save one. I think that anything capable of flowering at this time of year is magical.

I'm working on some vases to display in a local florist's window for Mother's Day. My latest batch of clay is particularly soft, making tall items even harder to make! I took it a bit slower this week and feel quite pleased with the results...

Larger pots mean more space to paint! I'm testing out some new illustrations and reinventing existing ones.
