Another long bus journey..but comfortable and well driven.
Just before I left, the latest kiln opening!
My plate on stubby feet and tile. Giving me ideas for the future.
Unlike Ruapehu, hiding in clouds.
You can see how dry it still is, brown dry grass everywhere.
It is good to be back in Whanganui, but sadly only for a week...time to see friends for one last time this time, and reduce the contents of my bags again.....
It must be lovely seeing everyone.
ReplyDelete...I like the public art!
ReplyDeleteI like your little plate!
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting to see your photos of New Zealand, a place I know I will never see in person.
Kiwis -- kiwis everywhere! Your decorated pottery turned out nice!
ReplyDeleteYou have traveled far and wide. The gold field adds a nice color to the landscape. It is very nice to see your many NZ friends. Do they come to the UK too?
ReplyDeleteIt is the grape fields !
DeleteYes, some have visited us in Scotland..others have travelled to compete in the World Masters Track Championships and we have seen them when it has been in Manchester.
Your keramika is fabulous. I love both the colours and the silhouette. The shearer statue is something of a tribute to Godfrey Bowen and how he revolutionized getting wool off sheep.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip gz!
ReplyDeleteI like the little tiles. They would make an attractive addition to a wall. I think that I would like the tree better in just a stark black to stand out from that white tile. Of course, we're just getting rid of our snow, and so perhaps I've got too many snowy trees in my brain!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of monochrome...like my lino prints....but it was a good challenge to 1. try decorating 2. try colours !!
DeleteI, too, love that plate. Beautiful colours and simple outlines.
