The wonderful Jesh!





As promised Jesh www.jesh.etsy.com has shared some of her wonderful spindles with us again! If I am correct these are from the last 2 batches of donuts she has gotten from me. I can imagine how great that fiery red one looks while spinning! As of today, Jesh has 2 spindles available in her shop with my donut pieces! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22906383 and http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23324632

Treasuries!

Ayala Levinger chose my Plum Purple Cabochon http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21859920 for Her Beautiful Outside treasury. She sure has a good eye for jewelry! Thanks Ayala!
I love the color in this OOAK Embroidered purple and green clutch http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20193442 I think it would make a great mother's day gift for my very cool and Quilt Loving Mother Go check out www.AyalaLevinger.etsy.com

This was a good week for my concentric circles cabochon! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20866009 It made an appearance in two treasuries! This "Circularity" Treasury was made by the very friendly Melita of http://www.redsuedekitten.etsy.com/ Melita can be seen around Melbourne wearing one of my super colorful- very circular -Brooches. Thanks Melita!


I just love Melita's http://www.redsuedekitten.etsy.com/ Felt Cocoon Necklace with Owl Inhabitant http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23013669 What a cutie! Go get it!


Oh no! I just realized that I forgot to get the author of this great treasury! The title "Better to give than receive" is perfectly suited for this treasury with all the items benefiting charities in some way. I really like the Chemo Caps for Vets listing! It is a cause that comes close to home for that etsian!
Thanks so much for all these great features!
Boy what a week I've had! It feels like it has flown by, out of state family visiting for the holiday, a kids clay jewelry class, crazy manic necklace making, an emergency cleaning out of a barn full of ceramic molds -- :-( no gnomes :-( It seems like life is in full swing as the flowers have started to appear! The bisque kiln is almost at full temperature, and I can't wait to get some more new pieces finished!

Alive











I certainly knew I was alive today! ;-) It was fun to dig around in the deep deep bead drawers after focusing so much on making clay pieces the past few months.
This is a sunny, awake,playful and bold necklace. In making this piece I felt alive and energized by the colors and beads I chose. Light wearing, free spirited, natural and modern, feminine and strong

Whistle while you work!

I have been happy and hard at work these past weeks! I have been deep in the plaster making new molds. SO MUCH MESS! Some of those molds have been for soap dishes for my wonderful Aunt Robin's handmade soaps. She has been dying to have some glass lined soap dishes for a couple of years. I am so happy to finally be able to provide them for her! (she did only ask now)
She is planning to sell some along with her soaps. My favorite is the gingerbread soap!!!

I am hoping to top off the kiln load in the next week or two and get right into the glaze fire. Thanks you all for your great requests! I am having so much fun working them out!

Studio Day!

Yesterday was spent in the studio and oh boy did I make a mess! Every time I pull out the plaster, I end up with a terrible mess. I made some molds for clay and hope to get some more made today. Hopefully the finished works will be worth all the mess!
