Postboxes and possible Progress


 
































I love it when the box and house match.

Watch this space...I was asked to supply photos of my work..pots and prints ... To a gallery in South Ayrshire..they are allowed to have one from outwith their catchment area once a year....







I've had a quite for the workshop stove parts..I need to find how much getting them here from the Isle of Wight will be....

Things are beginning to move....
However not much progress today, with -6⁰ in the wee small hours this morning and after a clear sunny day -2⁰ tonight...
A modicum of sorting was done plus vacuuming floors. That kept me warm for a bit!!

Off to an island tomorrow.....

...I love creative mailboxes and you found some wonderful ones.

Fabulous collection of mailboxes. We live with them and tend to overlook the variations - after all until recently all houses were different from their neighbours too. Good luck with the submission to the gallery.

Oh...I now have post box envy!

I love all the different letter boxes. I have seen one that is shaped like a truck. I toyed with the idea of having one for us. We work on trucks in the big shed.
But since I had a perfectly satisfactory letter box I decided against it
Love the art

You've found some very creative mail boxes. I'll bet it took a while to get all those photos.

Allison said...

Your blue bowls are lovely. Nice color.

The dinosaur mailbox wins hands-down! I also love your dinosaur/dragon sculptures. :)

Great collection of creative mailboxes! The dinosaur one is my fave!

Barbara Rogers said...

Loved this collection of mail boxes! And seeing a framed print of yours, but oh, those sweet blue bowls with altered rims are simply the cats pajamas! (Meaning super great of course!)

Congratulations on the gallery gig! Those little figurines are awesome! As a visual artist of any sort, I am a good viewer.

Miss Merry said...

Some very unique ones!

I quite like those, especially the dinosaur though I wonder what the postman or postmistress must think of it. Good luck, though I don't think luck will play a part. Your creations are wonderful.

The dragons are especially pleasing 😊❤️

US post boxes are very ordinary compared to the photos you show. I believe there are rules and regulations for post boxes which explains the lack of creativity.
Your pottery and art are quite beautiful.

Those mailboxes are great, but that dinosaur one, wow!
Boy, I love your pots. The blue ones, and especially the plate. I would buy that in a minute if I could. Do you ship to the States?

I have done in the past, but with all the added paperwork in the past ten years I have stopped

Just as I was passing over a couple of months...but there were others I didn't take as there were people around....

Debby said...

So...that first picture? With all the lights? Is that a mail box too? I am confused by what I am seeing.

I am such a fan of 'blue'. I love the blue bowls but now that I'm practical and all, I have no idea what I'd use them for. The plate though. That is something I'd snap up. It's blue AND I know what I could use it for!

I can't wait for you to hear from the gallery.

gz said...

Yes, it is a mailbox...it is right by a turn in....so possibly to protect it from being flattened?

I love the post boxes. And well done on being invited to submit to the shop. Strikes me that's an honor! I love the blue, too. Bowls, plate -- and also the prints. Lovely.
