Cup #14

Cup form continues to elongate...Handle vine drapes and splits open with seeds....base petals angle open....

Cup # 13....two sides

Base is carved into a new angle, sweeping up, turning down and ending with a tucked seed. Handle vine curves and embraces seeds then opens to folds and seeds. Thin extra vine (still damp and rescued from the discard pile!) is added to large vine handle on one side....(front side for the left handed!)

Cup #12

Handle vine splits open and folds and seeds emerge. Base petals open in a new variation.

Cup #11

Stylized Art Nouveau leaf attaches itself to the cup and wraps onto the handle vine.
Seeds tuck and cluster. Base petals enfold a tender spot...

Scrap pieces

Scrap pieces....a dried pile up of discarded handles, pieces cut from the cup base, and wads of clay from which the seeds are pinched off and rolled.

Cup #10

A sudden shift!....the handle vine loops and turns into a large tightly clinging leaf that wraps and fuses into the cup....Base pattern relates to the movement in the pattern of the leaf.... small leaf drapes over handle and makes a resting place...

Cup #9

Working with the same elements...just a different combination...9 siblings...
