"Earth" Displays Nature's Beauty

My mother is a wonderful and talented gardener.  She has toiled countless hours in her garden and from a very young age, she fostered in in me a love of nature and animals.   My own history with clay and making things out of "earth" began over 15 years ago.  I have been spinning & hand-building vases of varying shapes and sizes since I learned to "center".
The images below were a nod to my mother and all she has done for me.  I thought it was a perfect collaboration of our efforts - her beautifully grown flowers displayed in my handmade vessels - my humble attempt to showcase Mother Nature and it's glory.
