@monster: Those are some very intricate, imaginative pieces, for the medium of ceramics. Very cool.
My grandmother on my father's side was an self-taught painter and also fired ceramics, which I have some pieces of, displayed prominently on my personal altar at home. She was a big influence on me, encouraging me to be unique and creative, to be myself. I was a weird kid, but she understood me (when it seemed like nobody else did). I have a fondness for ceramics, because it reminds me of her. As does flower-pressing.
Thank you for sharing your work.
