Buddleia in Ikebana Vase

Some buddleia flowers with bamboo leaves in an ikebana vase. Don't know if you can see the dragonfly on the top. I made the vase in 2009. It's made with Rod's Mix clay and glazed with Jensen Blue glaze and fired to cone 10 in reduction. The glaze was developed by Brian Jensen of Utah Valley University. The recipe can be obtained in Ceramic Arts recipes. It does run so careful how much glaze you apply. Be well.

  1. Sadly I can't see the dragon fly - but love the elegant simplicity of the vase.

    1. Hi Sue, thanks, it's on the right lying flat on the top, sometimes it's the little or simple things that are so important in these days and times.
