Hello, and Happy Wednesday! What are y’all working on this week? In ceramics, I’m glazing like a fiend. Well, not today – I have a Shop Elf, y’all! Bless its magical little heart, it comes out and glazes for me sometimes when I’m in a pinch, and boy howdy am …
Being grateful to the universe that everything has lined up in such a way as to let you take time away from work to help take care of people you care about but at the same time being frustrated that you’re not getting things done at work that you needed …
Need to catch up? Days 1-5; days 6-10; days 11-15; days 16-20. March Meet the Maker Day 22: Sketchbook & Lists. Well, I don’t sketch, really, but I have lists out the wazoo. And I just so happen to be pouring over previous planners right now looking for some information I hid from …
On sale this week, to make room for next week’s addition of the April 2018 mug… the April 2017 mug has been moved to the sale section and marked down. April 2017: Stoned Denim and Oatmeal work in tandem with this dark chocolate-colored clay to make a strong, bold statement. There …
See what happens if I don’t write this blog post first thing in the morning? It doesn’t happen until almost the end of the work day! Hey, y’all! What are you working on this week? In ceramics, I wish I was doing more than I am. I have a lot …
Need to catch up? Days 1-5; days 6-10; days 11-15. March Meet the Maker Day 16: Helper. (I skipped yesterday, “Boomerang”, which is a free app I’ve been thinking about learning but this is not the best week to teach an old dog new tricks…) I get a lot of …
For the second day in a row I’ve turned off the dye pots after everything is steaming. Yesterday I decided I was just never going to get to it, since they’d been on for five hours and I hadn’t gotten around to pouring any dye yet. Today I set my …
Finally, y’all! A lot of you have been waiting a long time for these and I appreciate your patience – I had a lot of trouble glazing them. But finally… huggy salt and pepper shakers! Salt and Pepper, best friends forever! Always ready for a hug, these salt and pepper …
This week only, two wall hangings, one acorn and one pinecone. Perfect for the nature lover looking to bring a little of the outside, indoors. These pieces are open on their hollow backs and could easily be hung on a wall. Approximate Height: 15.5 inches Approximate Width: 6.75 inches Approximate …
Spoiler alert, I skipped Day 15, so this is only 11-14. You can read 1-5 here and 6-10 here. March Meet the Maker Day 11: Branding. My logo was designed by a friend and I have never thought of anything else. I may have changed the typeface I use on …
Welcome to the 2nd installment of the Winter 2018 Yarn Club – which I actually put into the mail about four weeks ago, but you know how I like to make sure nobody gets spoiled… so I put up the posts a month later. The theme this time around is …
Working on bringing a new shell soap dish into the shop made me consider other shapes as well, which means… a new leaf soap dish! This leaf-shaped soap dish is the perfect size for a full-sized bar of soap, or even a few guest-sized bars. This multi-tasking dish could also …
We have a house full of people and while they are here to take on some things so that I don’t have to, I’m still finding myself a little disjointed and scattered but maybe that’s because I’m also working on some accounting things, and accounting always makes me break out …
This week only, the March 2017 mug is marked down 20%, to make room for the March 2018 mug. The speckles inherent in the red clay used to make these hand-impressed mugs shows through the light glaze and helps to accentuate the look of the leather impressions. Approximate Height: 4.25 inches Approximate …
Continued from here….! March Meet the Maker Day 6: Workspace. Here’s the inside of my studio; to the left of the frame there’s a long shelf that holds more molds, drying greenware, and bisque waiting to be painted. Then I have three wheels (two Brents and a Pacifica), a pouring …
For years I’ve been making the same shell soap dish, slipcast, using the mold my grandmother or a friend of hers made in the late 60s. You can only pour a plaster mold so many times before all of the detail is worn away by the slip, and I’ve been …
I’ve tried to write this three times, and Chrome keeps shutting down on me about halfway, and oddly (for Chrome) not saving and offering to open previous shut-down tabs. So. Let’s see how this goes. Hey, y’all! What are you up to this week? In ceramics, I have a table …
I missed it last year, but am 1003% on board for this year! Let’s do March Meet the Maker! Weeks ago, I had every intention of doing @joannehawker’s March Meet the Maker; I had so much fun doing it two years ago, missed out last year because of all that …
Feel a little prickly before you’ve had your coffee in the morning? Yeah. We can relate. Fortunately the March mug is here to warn everyone away from you, so you don’t have to deal with people talking at you before you’re ready! Approximate Height: 5.25 inches Approximate Width: 2.75 inches at …
This week only – a wall hanging is 50% off! That’s 50% off the original price, not hanging 50% of the way off the wall. Maybe you run a small coffee shop. Maybe your friends joke that you *should* be running a small coffee shop! Or maybe you know someone …
He went to Paris Looking for answers To questions that bothered him so The nurses on this floor aren’t as attentive as on the previous floor (but of course changing floors means you are one step closer to going home, so, it’s a trade-off). If you’re napping, someone knocks or …
