Kiln Sneak Peek 7/10

July 10, 2023

The top is almost entirely jewelry. A little disappointed that I didn't fix the issue with the band in the middle of this tray, it is better than the last one but its still the only thing I see. This kiln has some crabs, but most will be in the next one. Kiln Sneak Peek 7/10

July Shows and Square Bowls

July 06, 2023

Schedule for July - I will be at the Belle Aire Market this Sunday July 9th, on July 22nd I'll be at the Taneytown Art in the Park and July 29th at the Craft Fair in Chaumont, NY. I got the new square cutters from De La Designs and immediately put them to use. The clay was a little too wet when I did it which is a learning for next time, but I still think they look great.

This one is using the biggest cutter. Square Bowls


This one is using the smallest cutter. I haven't used the middle cutter yet, but will soon.

Happy Fourth!
The Squiggle Witches are AMAZING! I tried to create them so they each had a personality, but worked as a set. I might keep them for myself. They're just so cute.
The rest of the squiggles are great too. I've made the tree and pumpkins before, but the candy corn is adorable.

First Fountain

June 29, 2023

I really want to make a multi-part fountain. This is me easing into that. I made this large bowl specifically to turn into a fountain. I got a simple solar fountain from Amazon. It has a number of nozzles that can be added to it, but I actually like the little gurgle the best. It only works when there is sunlight on it. It's actually kind of funny to watch it spurt when there is really low sunlight. Now that I have this under my belt I'm going to start designing a more complex multi-part one. Stay tuned.
