Sunday was the monthly Alameda Antiques Faire ...better known as the "flea". It was a beautiful sunny day and there were thousands of eager flea market shoppers strolling, getting tan and eating kettle corn. Amongst the stalls selling old eye glasses, "French" cake stands and photos of gray haired old grannies in hats I found this amazing booth selling relics from an ancient Italian church that had fallen down. The interior frescos were displayed irreverently on card tables but their inner beauty just glowed. The flowers and the drapery on this piece evoke some of the new work I am trying to do and will hopefully get glazed fired this week. I wish we could have afforded to purchase this beautiful bit of history (a deal at $900.) but I will just have to conjure it up in my memory when I'm making my next batch of rose pieces.
