Garden Ceramics

After searching the internet for some nice ceramic garden peices, I came about a website of an artist who was inspired by her mothers garden. She herself has her own garden and decorates it with handmade ceramic birdhouses, garden spheres, quote plaques and toadstool mushrooms. I've always had a fasination with mushrooms ever since I was little so i really enjoyed looking at how she incorporated the fungi into her art and as a part of her garden. Here's her website- (http://www.mymothersgarden.net/index.html)

Relief Surface

David Gamble, an artist from Plainfield, Indiana uses the technique of relief on the surface of his pieces. Like other artists, David finds art in many everyday objects. When he sees a manhole, he not only sees an entrance to the sewers, but an oportunity to make a releif wall hanging.

Ann Ruel uses both high and low relief to design her work. To transfer an image, she places the image (colored in with pencil) onto the peice and gently rubs the paper, which allows the image to be put onto the pot.
