Gifted Hands by tempeste
Share A Diatelle Poem writing prompt entry

Her
fine art
will warm hearts
She worked with clay,
white, red, her colour chart.
Gifted hands loved to knead and play,
many emotions her statues convey.
Her subjects are many from flamenco danseurs
to nudes, faces even a bright bouquet.
Watching her create made my day,
so abrupt her depart.
Filled my archway
with her art,
my heart
stirs.

Author Notes
My mother s name was Thea and she used red and white clay . Fired her work in an electric kiln at 1200C for 18 hours.

For those that are not familiar with ceramic work , the pieces have to be hollow.

She sometimes sprayed her work to give a blue or a pink hue to the final product.

Mother also painted.
