What’s a gal to do when when she’s sick with an icky cold? Scrub acorn caps. My eyes are too watery to draw or paint, and if you can believe it my studio is clean, so there’s nothing to do there. So I decided to fit my acorn caps to my pottery acorns.
I have new series in the works… I’m going to share some of the special elements I use in my mixed-media art. I will be offering hand crafted elements like the glazed pottery acorns with real acorn caps. I collected some caps last fall, so today I figured was a good day for scrubbing, since I’m sick with this darn cold. Dirt and germs be gone! I made the acorns using red clay and white clay and have glazed them with a variety of glazes ranging from matte & earthy, to shiny with crackles. I really love they are turning out.
Update! – I have some listed in the shop now.
In the studio I’ve got 2 mixed media paintings on the go… 3 knitting projects (if you can believe that – since I’m normally quite challenged with that kind of thing), a new caged doll that I’m constructing from scratch, and 2 sewing projects! Holy cow – has Martha Stewart invaded my soul? The art is just in my blood, but domestic artsy crafty stuff like knitting and sewing is not my forte… but I’m sure having fun.
