spring is in the air

finally back in the studio after short hiatus from my very wintery (meaning cold, damp and dungeon-like) studio...
a few new things in the air...more sgraffito, some loose swirling trailed lines here & there....
also have some new stencils in the works! and they are looking good...will post as soon as the tests come out, but for now, a few quick snaps from the first kiln load of the year...
