Nothing as sad as the sight of an empty fruit bowl. So I made a basket that always has something in it, even if you don't have fruit or vegetables in the house. Claying the basket is a huge challenge. First I make a grid one meter long. When that has just the right dryness, I can straighten it with the help of two others and make it round. That doesn't always go well, so I'm happier when it does. Because I try a lot, a lot goes wrong, but also new things emerge. The glaze on the pear was a mistake on another design. Why had it become so spotty and dirty? Yet I immediately saw its beauty. Perfect for a pear.
