This glaze pattern was inspired by the views of the mountains around our home in Seward, Alaska in the autumn. The mountains turn a burgundy when the leaves of the bearberry and fireweed plants turn. The sage green and the browns are some of the last colors that we see when the leaves of the bushes are about to fall. The white is the "termination dust" we see on the tops of the mountains that signal the end of our summer.
