I'll be glazing these fellas and a bunch of buttons all day today! Thank goodness for unlimited dance music via satellite radio! It will keep the energy up in the studio!

Long week of drying

It was so humid this week none of my pieces dried! Wa wa

New bowl shape... Hoping it ends looking like a drop of water splashing into water! Not so sure if that made sense but that's what I'm going for!

Pottery halt...

image.jpg

All pottery has come to a stand still! We adopted this little fella from the Humane Society and he's taken over our lives!

 

image.jpg

He's also wearing out other members of the family as well!

I'm heading back to the studio today to get back to work! More pics to follow soon (of pottery and the little five pound pup)! 

Hot in the shop!

image.jpg

I've got another magnetic board up at the shop with some giant butterflies, heart shaped magnets and even and special accent buttons too! 

image.jpg

I've packaged up mini-cities and put them in a metal box too! They're tied up and ready for gift giving!

image.jpg

Check out the new goodies next time you're at Vineyards! 

Happy week ahead everyone! 

Magnetic appeal!

image.jpg

My little city and butterfly magnets are finally in the shop! I found a frame, a piece of sheet metal and mini easel to display them! Come check them out next time you drop by! 

Time for tiny dishes!

image.jpg

I've got a nice assortment of trinket dishes/tea bag holders/spoon rests/ring dishes up at the booth today! These little dishes would also be perfect for a little girls tea party! I'm going to be making matching cups here soon so keep your eyes peeled!

image.jpg

I've also added this cool tree trunk pitcher! He's white on the outside and teal on the inside. He'd look great on the table at your summer BBQ! 

From the heart...

image.jpg

This little trio of heart dishes is in the shop now! 

image.jpg

They'd make an excellent Valentine's Day gift for someone special! I only made a few sets so move quick before they're gone! 

image.jpg

As always, if you'd like a custom order just let me know! My contact info is in the top right corner of the site!​

Hearts abound!

My latest trinket dishes are in the kiln as I type this!   

image.jpg

This is the before and after shots of what they looked like before being fired! They will be a lovely shade of red when done! I'll share more pics as soon as I've got them out of the kiln! 

Getting there...

image.jpg

Step one is done... Now I have to wipe off most of what I put on and then clear glaze over them! Hope to be loading the kiln tonight!!! 

Fired up!

image.jpg

I've fired the kiln with lots of new stuff and old favorites! 

There are lots of tea bag holders, trinket dishes and spoon rests in new shapes! 

image.jpg

My little city pieces will come in all shapes and sizes! I'm thinking most will be magnets initially but I plan on mounting groupings on wood panels that you can hang about too! 

I'll post more pics as I start to glaze this week! Happy Sunday!

 

More goings on!

I've got a few more peeks at some of the ceramic pieces in my home as well and a few pics of new projects! Hope you enjoy! 

image.jpg

This is my six foot long ceramic cityscape! All made from slabs and assembled directly on the wall.

I keep a village worth of houses on my mantel! These little houses take ages to make but I love them with ally heart so they're worth the effort! 

image.jpg

This is a wood and tile tray my husband made for me. I rotate an assortment of my latest ceramic creations here.

image.jpg

I'm making ceramic magnets as some of my next projects. Here's a little sneak peek at some of them... 

image.jpg

Those little clouds will have magnet rain drops and are going to be part of a set ! Can't wait to see how they come out! 

Thanks for dropping by!  Hope you all have a terrific week!

Ceramics in the house

I'm in the middle of completely overhauling my ceramics studio (which means no making is going on right now). I thought it might be nice to post a few pics over this next week of ceramic pieces in my home. Most I made and some I've collected from other artists. Hope you enjoy!

I'll start with the kitchen...

image.jpg

This is a small rolling butcher block where we have some of our cast iron enameled pots and hammered aluminum pieces...

image.jpg

In this space I've got a couple of tree trunk vases and thrown plant pots. There are also a few traditional ceramic pieces (rabbit, pumpkin bowl and basket weave pots)!

Thanks for dropping by!
