Flower Pots

cecile daladier

 french ceramicist and gardener

lovely to see a keen and courageous eye for simplicity

  along this line, the following sentiment makes me smile

' i have made this [letter] longer, because i have not had the time to make it shorter'-pascal

the lichen is a nice complement

work is sold by weight-even her business model is simple

hand formed raku ware however sounds like a complex craft
