I asked Nicky to send me some pics of the finished pots so here they are!

When we saw them in their raw state in the dark corner of a studio who would have thought that this was the vision that Nicky had for them?

I think that they reflect much more of a blue sky than I could see. I love the simplicity and delicacy of the decoration. Of course I said ‘lovely’ ‘beautiful’ oh my’

‘when are you going to sell them?’

and she said ‘no, not right, not done, not finished, etc’

These photos are full of promise and excitement because I happen to know that Nicky hasn’t ‘done anything’ for a long time, but has recently rented this space and has evidently made a start. When she sent this to me she said that her creative space is not a sun drenched place of enlightenment but a concrete corner in Nth Melb, full of monotone clay. No colours, only texture and shape. But the sun is shining for Nicky in this place. I think from a sewing point of view it must be nice to be able to narrow it down like that. Deal with texture and shape first and then deal with colour. Is that how it works?
