Handcrafted pottery, jewelry, photography, and more!
These origami cranes are a perfect addition to any Christmas tree! (Or car rearview mirror!) I meticulously fold, then carefully string each crane onto metalic embroidery floss with colored glass beads and larger crystal bead accents.
Origami crane Christmas ornaments available here.
A perfect gift for the holidays!
Each of my handmade mobiles is composed of three, meticulously folded, origami cranes strung on embroidery floss and adorned with crystal, wood, and glass beads. The strands measure about 34″ long. I package each one in a clear gift box. They are priced from $14.00 – $16.00.
I’ve made some available in the Bostree online store, but I have many more at the Bostree Gallery on Wood Road in Sugar Loaf, NY. Click here for hours.
I fold each crane with an intention, a simple prayer, a mantra… May I be at peace within myself and with others. May all people be at peace within themselves and with each other.
Wishing you blessings and cheer!

Andy has created a video documenting the process of creating one of his illustrated vessels. He is throwing grolleg porcelain and painting on the pot with iron oxide and cobalt. The music featured is by his friend Julia VanTieghem.
Enjoy!
This was the snowy scene today in Sugar Loaf, NY as I sipped my tea and looked out the kitchen door toward the Bostree Studio.
Although the birds were quite happy to flutter and feast in the storm, Sophie wanted to stay outside only briefly.
This is the broader view of the kiln shed and studio. The birds were abundant…
.. and varied…
.. and quite beautiful!
These little creatures seem all the more delicate in this weather.
I hope you are somewhere warm and snug this winter’s day and able to enjoy the beauty of the season! ~Terry
On this cold Wednesday of ice and snow in Sugar Loaf, NY, I took these photos and made a big pot of vegetable, venison stew. Perfect in one of Andy’s porcelain bowls!
… While Ray and his Husqvarna cleared the parking area of the Bostree studio, even though Andy’s pottery classes are cancelled for the evening.
… And the gallery, no longer located on Kings Highway, awaits it’s reopening on Wood Road, tucked-in snugly for for the winter.
… The finches fluttered and feasted, unperturbed by the weather.
The feeder is almost empty, but dependable me will refill it!
Wishing you warmth!
