It's May Theme Day over at City Daily Photo Blogs,
and we are featuring creative artisans from around the world!
I chose to feature POTTERY from just up the road, and that
works well with the letter "P" at ABC Wednesday.
Becky Blaylock is the creator of beautifully unique pieces of clay
at Earthquake Pottery in Valley Grande. While the retired teacher
claims her first work "looked like an earthquake hit it"
(hence the name of her business), she soon became skilled
not only with the technique but with new ideas for incorporating
God's creations from nature.
Below, maple leaves soak in preparation for producing a leaf print
in the plate at bottom. Note the ferns as well.
Sometimes, Becky teams her talent with Simply Making It of Marion Junction
to produce soap dishes for Laura Spencer's homemade goat's milk soap.

beautiful work and you and lulu are so smart getting your abc wednesday posts in too!
Very nice theme day post! And she is quite an artisan. My mother worked with pottery when she was young and did very well, too.
Earthquake Pottery is a fantastic name for a shop. I love that she includes Gods nature in her creations. I do love pottery.

We're ankle deep in clay at home too, it seems.

Potter and Pottery. . . what could be more artistic?
Lovely takes on the theme!
Wonderful images...and you have really captured the concentration required to create pottery...a steady hand. Nicely done!
Wow, gorgeous! I wish I could do that. I love the look on her face as she works through the clay. Nice contribution to the theme!
