Hello All! It’s been a bit! Winter prep(such as it is here un the deep south)has been in full swing, so I haven’t had much time to post anything. But, there are many good posts in the works to help us wile away that winter downtime, including Heian Kouzan, “The Frame Analogy”, Middle Crossing Chinese Pots, Famous Suiban Potters, and More Pots From My Collection.

If you’re a member of the American Bonsai Society and receive their quarterly journal, you’ll have noted some photos from the blog in an article by local bonsai potter, bonsai artist, and SOB(thats “student of Boon”), Byron Myrick. It’s a great article, as all all of Byron’s articles on pottery are, and I hope you check it out.

Unbeknownst to myself, my friend Harvey Carapella designed me a new logo(not that I had an old one), in both black and white and color, and I am quite taken with it! Harvey is a graphic design artist when he’s not doing bonsai, and is great at both. If you’re not familiar with Harvey’s Bonsai work from the trees he’s shown at the National Exhibition, take a look here for a peek at his backyard:

So here’s the new logo, with the photo of my shohin Miyasama Kaede in a very nice Bushuan pot that Harvey pulled off the blog for the logo.

And the logos:

Thanks Harvey!
