Update: lots of bad luck in 2023. Can't wait to start a new year with my family.

2023 Started with a diagnosis coronairy vasoconstriction and a lot of fuss over medicines and complications. Just after the summer holiday it was finally balances out: 2 weeks of happiness.
Then my husband, who had a major bypass surgery in 2022, fell of his mountainbiken and broke his collar bone. It didn't heal: just 3 weeks ago they fixed it surgical. I lost all my spare time and -energy for pottery again.

My pictures are not very professional: I just want to show you this piece. I'm presenting it at a group exhibition in our town hall next week.

It is very fragile to touch: every wipe of a finger produces a dusty smear due to the very matte/crystallised surface.

What would work best to disencourage people to touch it? Should I draw a little sign to visually remind people not to touch or does this only invite some people?

Today I found this painting from 1922; a bit dirty (pity there is a big stain) but really my taste! I paid 60 euro.

It's a snowy landacape from the Dutch painter Andre Verhorst: I am still googeling the good man. I really like his work!

Love to hang it on the wall in my (also stained and bumped) rental house that also dates from the 1920's...

Expositie van Kunstkring BeeKk in het Gemeentehuis van De Bilt!

Het is me niet gelukt om nieuw werk af te krijgen. Het werkstuk dat ingepland had, brak af voor het de oven bereikte.

Ik toon nu 1 werkstuk van porselein dat ik draaide in La Borne in 2021.

Ik hoop over een tijdje verder te kunnen met nieuwe werkstukken; er zit nog genoeg in de pijplijn.

I'm so sorry this account is "sleeping": due to health issues I had to pause my pottery activities, and they are my main focus for this account.

As soon as things will get better, I shall add my share of input to this great creative network :-).
