Another new birdhouse ....

Breeding time and another new birdhouse is finished.
An old trainlamp has been transformed.

A few more of Martin's pots ....

These pots came out of the kiln at the end of last year.
You can see them at Werner Busch's Bonsai-museum in Düsseldorf now.



Nobody is perfect ....

People sometimes ask if we have no damage or disappointments with our pottery.
We are very happy that it is down to a minimum .... but we surely have that time by time.
Here's an example of a "bad" glaze.
We tried it on a new clay but as you can see " they don't like each other "!
Well, not really a loss with the small Kusamono-pot and it could be repaired with
an ashglaze in the next firing.

                                                 So...OK...Lesson learnt !!!





Morning song ....

Springtime .... and my little friend is back. I heard his song this morning.
This little wren is having his nest in an old wooden bar under the roof of our house.
