đź§µ I loved the proportions of this #teapot and #vase. So many curves and textures and colors. So good. I wish I had gotten the artist's name.

A whimsical, bulbous yellow teapot with an oversized handle and matching spherical lid sits on a wooden tabletop, lit by gentle daylight streaming through venetian blinds behind it. The teapot’s surface is speckled, accented by a maroon rim and base, with neighboring ceramic pieces—some turquoise, others navy—faintly visible in the background.A tight crop focuses on the maroon-lipped opening and round yellow knob atop the yellow teapot. The ceramic surface is dotted and lightly speckled, with the turquoise vase behind lending cool color contrast. Soft highlights and shadows curve across the glossy glaze, bringing out the tactile quality of the piece.A turquoise-green glazed vase with round brown spots sits on a wooden surface, catching soft window light from the left. The curved, reflective pottery contrasts with the blurred, horizontal window blinds behind it, while subtle reflections and streaks play across the glossy surface.A blurred close-up of a ceramic surface, with a wide maroon ring running horizontally through the middle atop a mustard-yellow base. The matte texture is highlighted by tiny specks and softly scattered light, with the background melting into creamy brightness, emphasizing the shallow depth of field.

đź§µ This glass was part of a larger piece, but it kept drawing my eye. Different layers hold different details to explore. And then the macro shots brought out that much more.

A close, abstract view through thick, greenish glass scattered with jagged chips of bright orange, gold, yellow, and a few blue flecks. A round lens-like bubble dominates the left, sharply magnifying and distorting the colorful fragments beneath, while light bends and glistens through warped, watery surfaces.A softly focused close-up of translucent green glass embedded with vibrant shards of orange, yellow, and hints of blue. Light diffuses through, blurring colorful fragments that blend into swirling patterns, creating an underwater effect with shifting hues and subtle shadowy forms.A circular glass artwork, set in a dark frame, sits upright on a sculpture in front of sunlit window blinds. Inside the glass, hundreds of amber, blue, yellow, and red fragments appear suspended in a translucent, water-green background. Soft daylight spills through the window, highlighting the disc’s glowing colors and internal textures.Viewed edge-on, a clear glass disc densely packed with small, irregular chips in orange, yellow, blue, and a few dark flecks. The glass curves along the lower edge, distorting and amplifying the colorful pieces within. The composition is awash in greenish tint and mottled light.

đź§µ This hanging was beautiful. I'm not sure if the components were foraged and curated or created. But the final effect was very interesting.

A handmade wall hanging features a series of elongated, sculpted feathers suspended from a curved wooden branch. Each feather, detailed with delicate ridges, hangs from cords alongside interspersed round and disc-shaped beads. The view is angled upward, set against a softly lit, cream-textured wall, with diffused daylight casting gentle highlights and subtle shadows along the wall and ceiling molding.A close-up view of the same wall hanging focuses on the coarse, reddish-brown branch at the top, tightly wrapped with multiple strands of brown string. Small, smooth beads of varying shapes and shades rest beside the twine, while the detailed texture of the wood’s grain and the fibrous strands of the cord fill the frame. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the tactile details.

🧵 These vases were interesting—particularly the handles and the rougher texture of the one with the white sections. Again, I don't know the artist.

A brown pottery vase with two curving handles stands on a glass surface near window blinds. The vase features hand-painted white swoops and leafy green branches, dotted with orange, blue, and cream accents. Soft daylight filters through the blinds, highlighting the vase’s matte, earthy texture and organic patterns as light casts gentle reflections on the glass below.An extreme close-up of the pottery vase’s surface reveals a pair of slightly raised, round orange dots, bordered by tiny cream-colored dots. The textured brown background shows subtle speckling and irregularities in the glaze, while the painted details pop with their vivid, matte color.Two tall earthenware vases with double handles stand side by side on a reflective glass shelf, their surfaces glazed in warm terracotta. Each vase is adorned with painted winding green-brown branches, their shapes echoed by the flowing handles. Filtered sunlight from the blinds gives the scene a warm, softly diffused look, accentuating the sheen of the glaze and the vases’ sculptural curves.

đź§µ This frog sculpture (artist unknown) looked so interesting that I had to give it a shot capturing the texture with the extension tubes.

A bronze-toned, textured sculpture captures a rough, abstract figure poised mid-stride on a slanted plank, its body and limbs covered in irregular bumps and patches of oxidized blue-green. The low-angle view exaggerates the figure’s outstretched limb and highlights the shine on the metal surface. A framed artwork hangs unfocused on the nearby wall, with soft, indirect daylight illuminating the gallery’s pale, subtly patterned wall.A close-up view reveals a lumpy, metallic surface with craters and rounded protrusions, its bronze finish mottled with streaks and flecks of turquoise patina. Tiny details of the rough casting catch the light, alternating between glints of gold-bronze and deep shadows, offering an intimate look at the sculpture’s complex tactile texture against a softly blurred off-white backdrop.

The first of many photos I hope to get posted tonight. The library in my village. It's amazing.

A large, blurry stone sphere dominates the foreground on the left, partially obscuring the view of a stately brick building with a white-trimmed arched entrance and a tall cupola topped with a copper-colored roof and weather vane. Bright green manicured shrubs frame benches where people sit under a soft, cloud-dappled sky. Sunlight diffuses across the scene, highlighting architectural details and casting gentle shadows.
