I was craving the cool feel of clay today. I have started relief domes done by a new method I just learned. I’ll keep posting my progress.

Scrubbing acorn caps
Saturday, July 17th, 2010What’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.
Playing around with a little clay
Sunday, June 14th, 2009I couldn’t sleep last night, so I pulled out my pottery clay and made a few bugs :) They will need to be fired and glazed, but here they are in their still wet, raw glory. Below are thumbnails, so just click on each one to see it better.
The holes are for wire attennas to be inserted when they are done, and the long skinny one will hang, so it has an extra hole.
