Both sorry and glad to read about David. Glad that everyone knows what is going on, precautions to take, etc.

The bowls are just really something. They’re truly Aussie creations, very specific and connected with nature etc.

I’m digging the site man. You have a lot of inspiring content on here. I myself have a site that brings inspiration and guidance to millions of visitors around the world. I was thinking about a link exchange to let our visitors know about both our sites. Let me know.

Love these bowls!

I now how you feel – it is almost 30 years since mum was killed and I still grieve. It goes on, but is softened by time to a sort of nostalgia, without the sharp immediacy – but it does take time.

Your bowls are lovely.I would use the broken ones for water and food for birds in the garden.

broken things can still be loved just because they are broken.

The layered one seems fragile and I love the way it has cracked.

My grandma was my rock and I moved to be near her during the last few years of her life. Together we removed plants from her garden and transferred them to mine, my grandma taught me about gardening, fruit and veg. Its now 10 years and I’m going to have to thin out some of grandma’s plants and colonise another part of the garden with them. I cannot yet give them away like I do with other garden plants that get too big or spread too much.

My studio is in the garden so everytime I look out the window, or wander around for insipration I come accross part of my grandma.

I hated the reminders at first but now its really nice to feel close to grandma again, remembering the times in my own garden and the times as a child in hers trying very hard to concentrate on weeds or planting seeds.

theres no right or wrong way to deal with loss you just have to find something that works for you, and one day acceptance will come.

It sounds like you have some really good projects to be working on good luck with them.

You sound like that old joke of the gorgeous model who removes her false eye, false boobs, wooden leg, etc before hopping into bed on her wedding night

The broken bowl …could you have one half up higher to fill and spill over into the second half placed lower down under it, like a stepped-type bird bath/water feature? To represent that while you’re broken hearted at your mum’s passing your pieces are still together because she made you a strong person (((hugs)))

This post is like a Sunday afternoon, nothing really going on, but it’s nice to just hang around.

I have a photo of my grandmother which hides still a little behind a curtain – I can get it out now when I feel able and bathe in the twinkle from her beautiful blue eyes. She was my rock too. I think the photo is beautiful and understand so well how you are feeling.

The trail – oh my god I am excited for you, so goodness knows how you must feel – a New Year’s Project to look forward to indeed.

Hoping Veronica is well enough to be out with her beautiful horses soon.

Having looked at the linked photo’s which are so so upsetting. Your work is inspiring.

Hoping sunny days and blue skies continue – soak in the rays, you deserve each and every one.
