As I’ve started to get back into playing with clay, I’m paying closer attention to the natural world that I’m currently living in.

It will be interesting to see how I use these forms and textures translated into clay. I also had to include a photo of the most spectacular double rainbow I’ve ever seen which happened just as the sun rose over the mountains and within minutes it was gone.
Here’s just a few images of what’s inspiring me here…
