fresh from the kiln

well it's always exciting to be experimenting with new ideas, trying to push the regular work a little further.
these are a couple of pieces i made the week after my workshop at MISSA (did I mention how great MISSA is? check it out!)
it looks a little rough, but will sort itself out with a few more attempts. definitely will be adding more colour! enjoying the paperclay i bought for course, although i find it a little tough to rewedge when it's not super fresh & of course would like it a darker brown. so will try out making some of my own using my lovely chocolatey clay body.
so these are after thinking of picture frames & ways to make texture. did these two "frames" with wheels of one tricycle & one kids bike.
let me know what you think!

  2. Beautiful. Dear friends of mind gave my husband and me one of your bowls after a trip to Vancouver. And now I have dear friends who are getting married on Sept. 9 and I'd like to create a special gift for them. I believe you do special orders. I always think of these friends when I hear the Indigo Girl song "Power of Two," and my friend and I are huge Indigo Girls fans. I'm not sure exactly what I want but am picturing something with "power of two" written on it.

    Is this possible? Any creative thoughts?

    Thanks so much for the beautiful art you create.
