Table Settings
I've wanted to make a set of dishes for a long time. I finally did it! I hosted a table at a "Date Night" event. Hosting included making the menu and setting the table, contacting the other 3 couples at my table and request they bring items from the menu. Easy, peasy, right?!!! So, I… Continue reading Table Settings

Wild Clay Pottery
We are digging our own clay now! It's been an interesting adventure! I have thrown a few things with it! The clay when raw looks like a yellow-y brown color. When we bisque fire it takes on a burnt orange hue, but glazed and fired, oh wow, it turns a dark chocolate color with a… Continue reading Wild Clay Pottery

He also built me… Continue reading Carving Clay

I love how it turned out! It was hand-built with coils in a style that reminds me of an… Continue reading Cherry Blossom Birdhouse
Doodle Art Vase
Wow! I can't believe Christmas has come and gone already! My husband completely surprised me this year and bought me a pottery wheel. I mostly hand build and the wheel as been a challenge to find time and let's be honest ---it's a bit intimidating at first. So now at my house I have a… Continue reading Doodle Art Vase
Zinnias
I love Zinnias! They are my favorite annual flower to plant in my front yard. They grow and bloom all summer long until a hard frost. I decided I wanted to capture their beauty by making a stoneware clay dish- a shallow dish, great for use and display. I used my paper crafting zinnia stamp… Continue reading Zinnias
