Cobwebs and Moths Be Gone!

Now that I'm settled in my new studio and my kiln has been repaired, I've put some items in my dusty old Etsy Store.

I had to go in and clean out the cobwebs and blow out some moths (who incidentally were wearing striped sweaters) but it is up and running again, so please have a look-see :)

Butterflies and Birds

I've been busy here at my little studio! Some fresh things out of the kiln:

This mug was an experiment with a wash style glaze treatment. I added radiating gold lines to play up the etched pattern.

Here is the back of the mug which features a ladybug and bird decal along with bits of gold. The texture also includes a stamped surface as well as etched marks.

Here is the detail of the bird and you can see at the top left a heart stamp filled with gold on the handle. Overall I thought this mug was going to be a failure but it turned out great...here's to trying new things!

A blue mushroom ring dish. The cap lifts off and the ring can be stored on the stem.

Also, I just applied to the Blue Genie Art Bazaar for the holiday season so I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping I get accepted!

New Year Newbies

Well, Christmas break was exhausting - filled with lots of traveling and family get-togethers. I didn't set foot near clay except to wrap up the gifts I had created! I did post a couple of new things in my etsy shop Tiny Happiness.

This wall hanging to help you remember to take it easy and a Texas themed trinket dish.

Photographing black glaze is proving to be a challenge! I still haven't come up with a slr camera so my iphone is filling in at the moment. It would be nice if I came across a reasonably priced used one!

In the meantime I'll keep at it. Hoping to be more productive in the new year and possibly do a local show or two. Happy New Year!
