two 2015 Japanese stamps released for Letter Writing Day
[id: two postage stamps with stylized illustrations. the left depicts pink hollyhocks. the right depicts halves and slices of green gourds with yellow-orange flesh. end id]
Not sure if mug or little bowl or jar but it is a shiny gourd! (Sold)
I tried a new clay for this one, with little speckles, you can see it through the white glaze on the inside (best seen in the last pic).
I like it, will use this clay again! 🍂
The large compost heaps at Great Dixter, East Sussex, UK, formed an excellent growing area for pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo) and gourds. These tender annual plants thrive on the humus rich heaps being warmed by the heat of the decomposition.
