Colored Porcelain & Honeysuckle Vase Update
2007-07-13 17:05:00 Freeformed colored porcelain pendants - unfiredAfter bisque firing, the pendants look a little dullAfter adding a clear glaze and firing to cone 6, the color is intensified - available in my Etsy ShopAfter starting up my own studio last spring, I've been doing a lot of experimenting with different techniques to find my own voice, if you will. It seems like there's just no end to the techniques and processes in the ceramic arts. I have really been enjoying image transfer on clay and just ordered 100 sheets of traditional decal paper from Ceramic Supply, so expect a lot of this to crop up in my work in the future.Meanwhile, I have been meaning to play around with some Millefiori/Murrini techniques using colored clay. Some of the artists who inspired me are Jane Peiser, Vince Pitelka and Chris Campbell among others who all use the medium quite differently. I am truly inspired by Jane Peiser, who according to her website is 73 years old (though the website is older - she talks abo...

Honeysuckle - Lonicera periclymenum
2007-06-21 12:48:00 I really wanted to take a picture of this flower but the light levels were so low where i found it it was proving impossible (i never bother taking a tripod with me and have to rely on my steady hands instead). This was the best out of a bad bunch of pictures but i'm still not really satisfied with it. I learnt the other day that you can suck out the nectar in honeysuckle just like in Nasturtiums. I wonder if you could eat the whole honeysuckle flower?I'm off to Yorkshire for a week so there'll be a break from posting for a week or so I'm afraid.

Wild Honeysuckle Impressions
2007-05-16 18:40:00 Part used: Flowers & Flower budsTaste - bitter, sweetEnergy - very cooling, slightly moistI've been trying out the Honeysuckle the last few days and want to share my impressions.I generally have a deep wiry pulse, Honeysuckle caused it be closer to the surface, slower and calmer (it almost seemed like a normal pulse LOL), while increasing circulation. It is distinctly relaxing and cooling, an opening impression can be felt in the chest and the sinuses are relaxed as well. It's one of those herbs that moves energy up towards the head making one feel lighter. I can feel how it is very suited to acute feverish states and infections.It seems very Pitta reducing, and therefor a good nervine for hot-headed, tense, type A people. It calms the edgy CNS brittleness so common in burned out Pitta personalities, it cools and seems to moisten just the tiniest bit, soothing the nerves and thoroughly relaxing without inducing sleepiness. I do believe it would help cranky feverish children (o...

Great Honeysuckle Study
2007-05-14 05:21:00 Check out this great study on Japanese Honeysuckle done by the Canadian Institute of Postgraduate Studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine here. It is of course rather reductionist in nature, but still quite useful. It says that the japonica species is the strongest of the Honeysuckle species, but I won't quite believe it until I experience it myself (typical of my skeptical nature).
