I had the great good fortune of receiving one of her creations for Christmas.  I&#8217;ve taken pictures of it so that I can share it with you.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Blog%20Pitcher%201.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redeaglespirit.com\/arrrgh\/Blog%20Pitcher%201.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"279\" \/><br \/>\nI&#8217;m absolutely fascinated with the shape of the lip.  I wouldn&#8217;t have it in me to play with a piece like this, but she&#8217;s fearless!  I can&#8217;t wait to talk with her and get her thoughts on how she decided just what  she wanted to do.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Blog%20Vase%202.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redeaglespirit.com\/arrrgh\/Blog%20Vase%202.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" \/><br \/>\nNeither of these pictures are true to the colors on the pitcher. The lighter shade is much greener than this shows.  If I had to put names to the glaze colors, I&#8217;d say she used chartreuse and burgundy, which are complementary colors on the color wheel.  Again,<strong> I&#8217;d<\/strong> have chosen &#8220;safe&#8221; colors.  My niece has a lot to teach me about taking risks with your art.  <a href=\"http:\/\/copcar.typepad.com\/cop_cars_beat\/\">Cop Car <\/a>has had that influence on my quilting stash, and it looks my niece will carry me a few steps further.<br \/>\nI love the &#8220;tail&#8221; on the handle.  I&#8217;ve been trying to decide whether it looks like a woman with her hand on her hip, or whether it looks more like a cat&#8217;s tail, wrapped around the bottom.  Whatever you think it is, it adds to the quirky sense of humor the piece embodies.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll have to see if my niece would like to blog about her work.  Perhaps we could set up a &#8220;Guest Blogger&#8221; status for her.  Btw&#8230;.this piece was done by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redeaglespirit.com\/nan\/\">Nan&#8217;s<\/a> youngest daughter.<br \/>\nThanks, sweetie!  It&#8217;s a wonderful work of art, and a gift I&#8217;ll treasure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am blessed with a niece who is artistic and thinks outside the box.
