Tea-pots



The tea-pot becomes a bit of a theme when you drink tea all day.
A garden is for drinking tea in.
Some teapots get broken and then they have to retire in the garden.
Thankyou to all the people who have given me tea-pots.





Ceramic Plaques


Three paintings about Alice on ceramic plaques.
Underglazes and bisque fired.


A little bit of kitchen on the fence.


Two owls in a frame.
Earthenware with coloured slips.


A heart shape in a frame.
Stoneware, glazed.

Garden Areas


This is a very dense green area, of wattle sapplings, cherry plums and artemesia and a ground carpet of Neptemia.


At the farthest end of the garden is a crunching path of broken tiles. It makes a sound when you walk on it, like a shell covered beach. Some people don't like the sound because it is the sound of broken tiles and crockery - and they refuse to walk on it!



These are the princess seats. They have never been used by princesses though. In thailand we found some princess seats, They are cylindrical seats made of clay and at the bottom there is a hole where a little fire was made inside the seat to warm it for the princess. I did not put the little hollow for the fire. But if Princess Mary comes to visit and she gives me enough notice, we will make one for her to sit on.
