They are for granting wishes, but be careful what you ask for. The plate is a photo I took of one of the local artists here in Belize. He does all his work with a knife and a spoon sitting under a tree in his yard. He digs his own clay and mixes it with sand and grass. When the peices dry, builds a fire in a pit with wood and burns the peices. Its called Raku, and quite delicate.
If I changed mediums, it would be to ceramics. The plates and magic jars have geckos and lizards on them. I love them, and have used them as subjects in still life paintings.
I love everything about this. The colorful sparkling eggs, the lizard plate (I love reptiles) and the colorful eggs against the grays of the dish. really pretty
So, what's magical about your eggs, Lee?
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful!
