Ceramic Mosaics







I have been dabbling in ceramics for about 4 years now. Over the course of those years, I've made a few things that didn't work out quite right and they have found other uses. I also went through a stage of writing inspiring words on the clay. I decided they would make a great collage piece. I got the box built and arranged the pieces absolutely perfect. One morning I found them all laying on the floor. I imagine a cat jumped on the board and upset everything. After many attempts at getting the arrangement back, I finally took it all off again and just threw it together and I loved it.

Pottery fountain







What do you do with extra pottery. If you have taken a ceramics course, especially a wheel throwing class, you know that you can create lots and lots of pieces that don't quite hit the mark. What to do with those pieces. You can give them to friends and family until they hide at the sight of you, or you can create something else. I had actually looked for a kitchen sink and wasn't satisfied with what I could find, then I remembered those granite dish pans used years ago. After getting one on Amazon; and a stop for a pump at our local Home Depot, this is what you get. I just love it.
