How do you say you love someone when they are gone?

The vase I'm sharing today is called 'Skyfather'. It was birthed from grief and death. At the time, it was the tallest piece I had made, reaching up to pierce the veil between worlds. A conduit of love, understanding, and forgiveness.

@alchemistsstudio this is stunning. I wish I could place my arms around it ❤️‍🩹
@tlau Thank you for sharing such beautiful words ❤️❤️🙏🙏
I hope the new year is going well for you and bringing you joy!
@alchemistsstudio apart from finally catching a (mild) dose of the plague, yes thank you 🙏
@tlau I hope you feel better soon. It's really making the rounds these days.
@alchemistsstudio that is just stunning.
@devotaj Thank you so much. I hope this new year brings you much joy.
@alchemistsstudio Beautiful! I love the color
@consulessa Thank you! I hope the new year is treating you well!
@alchemistsstudio Gorgeous. And a powerful statement.
@progressiveartist Thank you! Guess what arrived yesterday? I hope your year is off to a good start.

@alchemistsstudio Yaaa! I hope you love it as much as I've been. Someone posted video of her yesterday (now why didn't I think to search YT!) Her love of the land and plants is so infectious.

@progressiveartist I'm adding this to my bookmark list! Thank you! I hope to get into the book tonight or tomorrow. I'm excited!
@alchemistsstudio I look forward to hearing your impressions.
@progressiveartist This morning, I read the preface. Such beautiful words to set the stage of our interconnectedness with the earth and one another. I think I'll go one chapter at a time to fully absorb it.

@alchemistsstudio You're initial impression is right, it's definitely a book to sit with, absorb. I've been taking it slow also, for the same reason.

It appears to be broken down into sections of chapters, some of which are short, some a wee bit more on the science side than spiritual, so I've sometimes been reading more than a single section at a time.

It's the first time in eons I've had to renew my library loan on a book. I hate to do that when someone else is waiting for it, tho.

@progressiveartist Maybe your renewal will lead to the library purchasing more copies!

Even the first section of nine pages is worth sitting with for me. Magical prose and wisdom.

@alchemistsstudio It just might! But I'm reading the ebook (not enough money or room for traditional books any longer) which carries its own set of restrictions due to the greed of the publishers.

I don't want you to even *think* about rushing your reading, but last night the chapter Sitting in a Circle, blew me away and also made me so excited to come across such invaluable knowledge!

@alchemistsstudio, it's beautiful and I hope making it brought some comfort to you.
@Dr_Elizabeth97 Thank you! It's making brought me some peace and comfort, as art does.
I hope you had a nice day, and the new year is off to a good start for you!
@alchemistsstudio I love this. Celadon glaze?
I was once a potter--for almost ten years, long, long ago.
@alchemistsstudio beautiful ❤️
@MaureenKelsey Thank you. I hope you're having a nice day!
@alchemistsstudio it’s 11:11137: Pm here in Italy. I had a wonderful day. Buon anno, tantissimi auguri 🎉🙏☮️🥰
@MaureenKelsey Such a beautiful country, Italy!
@alchemistsstudio
Beautiful piece. I tried to honor my friend by naming my son after a character of hers in a book we wrote together. I also make small art pieces now and then thinking of her, like a dandelion shaped pair of wings cast in bronze, based off a painting she did of a fairy with dandelion wings.
