Announcing New Shop

2012-02-06T22:55:00.000-05:00

I found myself becoming more and more consumed with making ceramic beads. After I accumulated a large amount of these beads and realizing I was not adept at turning them into a final product......I decided to sell them to others to use instead! The response has been amazing!
This month I will have a showcase on the EtsyStalker website. Drop by to take a peek and for a coupon code to save 10% on your purchase at my new shop Beads, Birds and Bones!

Puffy wall hearts

Happy Spring Mugs!

2010-03-08T21:22:00.002-05:00

Just listed these mugs on Etsy and I have to say...I just love them! They have such a great look. The body of the mug is unglazed and has a nice earthy feel, while the rim and handle has a soft, shiny glaze that is so soft and smooth. I may have to make a set for myself!

This is one of my newest pieces that I am handbuilding. Sometimes I need to take a break from the wheel and handbuilding has been very satisfying. This is high fire porcelain with Shaner's Oribe glaze fired in a reduction atmosphere.
