First Kiln of 2009
i had a wonderful time making this batch of ceramics. i spent a lot of time out at my family home babysitting the little dog and we went for a lot of walks through the winter woods. i found some wonderful little grasses that had the sweetest little seeds at the end. i ran them through the slabroller and combined it with some vintage doilies i've been using to great results,i think.... check out this album for a few more pieces.
also mixed up a new clear glaze that has a bit of milkyness to it if it gets thick. quite lovely!
i also thought of lot of my most enthusiastic ceramic patron--my Aunt Brenda--who just got her other knee replaced! way to go Brenda!

Snow Day
St. Bartholomew's Cematary on Salisbury Street. so quiet and lovely......
Beautiful Rosemary House
My favorite garden in Pittsboro, this creek is always gurgling away
We had the most lovely snow yesterday!!! I got to go walking with Jeremy while it was still snowing, and it was just lovely to see town completely shut down! we were walking out in the middle of the street and enjoying the beautiful snow. we got quite a lot too, how wonderful! i couldn't open the store, it was just too fun to be home watching it all.
here is my attempt at a photo album. enjoy!

American Button Machine!
Goldfish Buttons!
a Mini-collage with Japanese paper and rooster
Beautiful Japanese Paper Pocket Mirrors
In late December I half-jokingly said to Hannah, "boy, if i had a button machine i'd be unstoppable!" well......i won one on Ebay and i got it yesterday! it is fabulous. i have soooo many scraps of paper, neat stamps, little things, etc, that i can now immortalize in a button, a pocket mirror, or a fridge magnet!
so now i'll submit to the universe "boy, if i had a silk screen studio i'd be unstoppable!" hehe. that is a goal for this year or next. yes!
i really can't wait to make more mini-collage buttons and magnets..... stay tuned!
