The New Patterns Are Glazed...

I unloaded the kiln this morning and I must say that I really love how this heart pendant came out!

Here are some of the other patterns...

 

 I'll be loading some of these on Etsy later today and all weekend.  I have a lot of other new patterns coming next week.  Have a great weekend!

Big Cartel

Good Morning! Did you have a nice Halloween?  It wasn't as busy this year as it normally is - even Kellie didn't get as much candy as she normally does.  I'm not sure if less people were giving out candy or what.  It was cold but they were still out for 2 hours.

Molly and her friends like to dress up and take Kellie.  It's their excuse to go trick or treating.  Even Howard got dressed up this year!

We girls in this house thought he looked very handsome with his fabulous Halloween collar from Clippers Canine Cafe.  I love this store! Clippers is owned by my sister and niece.  Clipper is my niece Kate's dog -  he's a very funny dog and is usually there when Kate is working.  The store is in the historic Savage Mill.  It's an awesome location.  There are places to eat and a lot of really cool shops - antiques too!  There is also a section of artist studios.  I wish it were closer to me - I would love to have a studio space there.  Plus it's haunted and who doesn't love haunted places?!  Molly and I met my sister and niece there and went on the ghost tour a few weeks ago.  Had a great time!

I opened a store on the Big Cartel site here today.  I'm not really sure how I'm going to use it yet.  I just added a few pieces to have something listed while I decide what to use it for.

Went to bed last night with my heart racing and woke up this morning with the same thing.  I don't like this feeling - makes me sick to my stomach.  This week is flying by and I feel like I'm losing control of my schedule so I think it might be stress.  I don't feel stressed - just busy - but I guess my heart has decided to kick it up a few notches anyway.

So, I'm off to work on glazing some pendants for a custom order today.  I'm going to throw a few other pieces in the kiln with them so hopefully I'll have something to show tomorrow.  Have a great Wednesday!

I've Been Carving More New Patterns and Playing With Glazes...

I'm still carving stamps.  I must say it's a tad addictive.

 I love some of them, some of them I like on buttons better.

I'm still playing with glaze combinations too-The pile is getting bigger and bigger!

 I think I'll be using these color combinations a lot!

It's so rainy and dark here...blaa day, but I'm listening to some new music and playing with these stamps so it's a good day!

OOO, I'm Pretty Happy With My New Stamps!

I opened my kiln this morning and there were a few of my new stamp pieces that I carved last week.  I'm pretty happy with them!

This is the little clover from my new logo without the WCK letters.  It's a cute little 7/8 inch pendant.  I might put it on a bracelet.  

 I like this leaf. 

 and I like this bird - I didn't carve this stamp, it's a button 

 and my little tree.....mmmm, needs a little work.  It's pretty wonky.

 The rest of the pieces from this batch are glaze samples.  Some I love, some I hate.

 I'll be glazing samples all week.

And these last two pendants decided they liked their wires too much to let go :O(

Personal note, Mark was riding his bicycle yesterday down a big hill and a dog ran out in front of him and he hit the dog and flipped over the bars onto the street.  Fractured elbow.  Poor Mark.

Working On New Patterns This Week...

I've been carving lots of new stamps this week.

 Here are a few of the buttons I've made with the new stamps...

 And pendants

 I've also carved a new logo for my shop and decided to make a pendant for myself with it.

All of these and more will be in the kiln tonight -  I can't wait to get to the glazing!  I'm still carving stamps today - they are so fun to play around with new designs.

New Items in My Etsy Shop Today!

I listed five of my mug cozies in my Etsy shop this morning!

 And a bunch of new handmade ceramic pendants and buttons including these in this new glaze combination...

I made a bunch of other pieces in the earthenware that haven't been listed yet but will be soon.  I love this button!

I'm glad I made two of them because I used the second one on the mug cozy that I'm keeping for myself.

 Here are some of the other pieces from the batch.

 These and others will be in the shop later this week. 

Have a great Tuesday!
