This year saw more experimentation in my projects.  I began working with some polymer clays, dyeing pine needles, coiling on gourds and, at the end of the year, I tried some pyrography.  The free form sculptural vessels continued to intrigue me and several more emerged between experiments.  I even snuck in a couple of Tenerife centers done with variegated embroidery floss.  The year was a banner year for me in learning new things. A sampling of this years projects is shown below.
