Sacred Sunday
Charleston, NC: if you follow St Michael's Alley you will come to St Michael's Church. The stained glass windows in the sanctuary are wonderful. Here we see St Michael in his battle pose. Michael is the archangel who became a saint (how does that happen?). The colors are so strong and vivid; I love it!
These beautiful doors greet you as you enter.

Sign Saturday
St. Michael's Alley is one of the main streets in historic Charleston, NC. I only had a few hours to roam the area, just enough time to know that it's on my list for a return trip.

You asked for it!
Because some of you have asked to see masks here are a few. The first two are after the bisque firing.
These three are after glaze firing but before embellishment. Actually the masks don't photograph well because of the shiny surface of the glaze. Embellishment is the last step. Sometimes I know as soon as I place the clay slab on the form how I will glaze and embellish it, and sometimes the mask evolves in stages of inspiration. Many ideas come to me just as I wake in the morning. These three masks are done now and packed away in boxes waiting for their debut.
