A bowl made by my mother

And again, this is just one more piece of art by my mother Gunvor, a bowl in ceramic, this day with some sweets in it.

On the outside you can se the pattern she had done with the help of an old crocheted table cloth.

Raku bowls

As I have told you many times before, my mother Gunvor loved to work with different techniques, as she was a  potter from the beginning, then she started with all kinds of art.

These are ceramic bowls made in the Raku style, a Japanese style, hand shaped from low firing temperatures, then you remove the piece from the owen still hot and then cooled of in a bin with combustible material.

Silver - by my mother

My mother did really work with all kinds of material, mostly ceramic as you have seen before, but alos metal, stone and of course the more traditional paintings, both in water colors and oil.

This is some works by Gunvor in silver, a bowl a bracelet and a ring, the stone she picked herself here in the dirt, then polished it and made art of it.

Ceramic in black

This ceramic bowls, from my mother Gunvor, is almost black in the colour. And that is because she did not burn the ceramic in a kiln but in a hole in the earth, like they did long time ago, in the stone age.

Then she polished the surface with a smoth stone, so it looked like it was painted.

A bowl of leaves

This is really one of my favorites of my mother Gunvor's artpieces, a bowl of leaves, made of ceramic as usual.

The ceramic glaze is made from real leaves that where burnt in the ceramic kiln.

Here is another photo from the inside of the bowl, inspired as usual by nature.
