I wanted to decorate a raku pot using feathers and horse hair. I didn’t want to buy the perfect feathers in a craft store because it seems weird and I hate shopping. But I don’t find very many feathers in my travels. The last feather I found was from a hawk, it’s very pretty but way too big for the pot I was planning to raku. Besides, I am not ready to set fire to it. I’d rather sharpen the end and use it to carve decorations. So while I was wondering where I would find the perfect feather I happened to be walking through the train station and there it was! I only had to look for it. I wanted two feathers for the design but now I knew that the other feather would be showing up soon. I was right, in a few days I found another feather that I liked for my pots; again it was in the train station.
Horse Hair Pot
I’m not trying to get all metaphysical or spiritual, with this idea, what I’m trying to say is that when we need something; we can often find it just by looking and knowing we will find it. I think that’s a pretty good outlook to have.
This is beautiful! Your feather mark (at the top, right?) creates a suggestion of a bird. Simply gorgeous.
Your work is beautiful.
I absolutely believe that the universe supplies us with what we need, its happened to me countless times.
Its wonderful how it happens
Thank you both. Linda- I like your paintings, you’re use of color is exciting.
