Early Birthday Gift

My brother Steve sent my birthday gift and it arrived today. Even though my birthday isn’t until the 17th I opened it anyhow. It was as I’d hoped and expected, ceramic piece Steve made. He is a print maker by profession. But he also makes ceramic art pieces. Since he moved to Ashland where the ceramic studio he goes to is, he can now make pieces all year long. He used to spend a month or two in Ashland in the summer. Now he’s there full time. I miss him but know that it was a good move for him. Steve is a lizard kind of guy so it didn’t surprise me that there were lizards on the small cup he made. Makes me happy. Added one more photo from the bottom of the cup.
