Thank you so much for the shout out! I was not expecting it at all and it made my day. I also enjoyed experiencing pottery through this lens. It is always a uniquely favored circumstance when functionality and creativity come together with items in our home. I have a ceramic jar that appears as cactus in a pot but they’re actually measuring spoons, and the pot is a measuring cup. Small vessels that offer both utility and aesthetic ❤️.
Beautiful image! I like how the New Living Translation renders Isaiah 45:9: "Does a clay pot argue with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, 'Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’ Does the pot exclaim, ‘How clumsy can you be?’" How often in life do we discover that our very quirks and apparent "flaws" are exactly what God intended? It's humbling to consider the intimate care which the Father employed to fashion each one of us -- and no two alike!
I love this piece! Thank you for sharing the depth of your enjoyment! This: "They are made with a mixture of intention—needing to be made well enough to be useful—as well as beauty, because why create something yourself at all if you aren’t going to put your imagination behind it?"
