Rain on Windshield
Sarah Myers

A simple pattern inspired by a warm summer rain hitting the glass, I think it would make a pleasant design for a textile.

The Birthday Bouquet Flies

With blooms of roses and myrtle from her garden, my sister created this bouquet for my birthday. In my favorite picture above, an ethereal crystal vase filled with flowers flies through the air.

Spring, Sarah Myers
Sculpture in red earthenware, life-scale

Here is the Spring, smiling, with wreaths of lavish flowers in her hair... Nestled in the blooms, small faces look up, just awakened or still half asleep.

This sculpture is in fired red earthenware and is large life-scale. It was created rapidly, during about four days' worth of sculpting, to avoid damage from drying; it is hollow-built. The material is a new earthenware clay of splendid texture and tint; I worked it up it from a formula designed by Amy Myers.

The style is essentially "New Baroque", used to express exhilaration and joy in the new world of spring. Search carefully for the small faces of the flowers!
