Feeling the Love!


Oh boy! Who would have imagined? I felt so lucky to be included in a treasury last week, still do! Guess what? I am featured in 2 treasuries today! Wow!
What a day! The sun is shining, I hear birds, and my kiln is firing with my hopes for dreamy pieces rising along with it's temperature. And more! My husband says he's OK, no hospital stay, and all is well.
I still haven't shown you all the beauty the wonderful Carol Dean Sharpe has created!!! But you could check out her shop to get a guess!!! www.sandfibers.etsy.com


Long time no Blog!

Or does it just feel that way? This has been a crazy busy week including 2 doctors visits, labs, running a meeting, loading my kiln, firing it, wonderful collaborations, and my husband taking himself to the emergency room, and all these things happened yesterday!

I have lots of wonderful things to share, including beautiful pictures of work by the talented Carol Dean Sharpe aka sandfibers.... very soon... maybe later today even.

It is so dazzling I may have to split it up for you so that you can handle all the beauty!

Who would have known?

Who would have known that my jewelry donuts could be made into drop spindles? The wonderfully friendly Jesh of http://www.jesh.etsy.com/ that's who!

You may have picked up on the fact that I am crazy in love with my tools. This is a tool after my own heart! Jesh's shop is full of gorgeous, gorgeous spindles and guess what! She is going to be making more spindles with my donuts. Jesh has promised to let us know when she has them finished! Go check out her wonderful shop! http://www.jesh.etsy.com/

Boy was I wrong!

My guess on the number of pieces in this firing was 200-400. I counted every last piece all 822 of them. No wonder my hands look like this!

Thank you Kathleen! Beautiful!

Firing Again!

I am so happy to be firing my kiln again this week! I am going to have to count how many little jewelry pieces are in there when it's done. I make a conservative quess that it is over 200 but I have a feeling that it's more like 400. I hope my new goodies arrive via UPS tomorrow so that I can get right to work on experimenting with new colors in the glaze fire!
