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.

Pendants, pendants and more pendants

I've been working on wire wrapped ceramic pendants and polymer clay pendants. I decided I couldn't wear them all so I listed them on etsy. Hopefully they will sell.

Inspiration from Lisa Kaus - Collage

I've seen Lisa Kaus's work in several magazines including Somerset Studios. I am way too far from her studio in Oregon (I'm in Key West) to take one of her classes. I know from the articles that she uses wax and wax is certainly not a good option in the sub tropics. It doesn't set up. I decided I would just take inspiration and use my own sealers. She uses rather large embellishments, I prefer smaller ones. She is paler colors and I love BRIGHT colors. The Army collage was done for my Son.

Found Object Robots

My son recently sent me a couple of pictures of robots and wondered if I could do something similar. Well, never one to shy away from a challenge, I created 7 of them. Not too bad for my first attempt. Put them all on ebay since I really don't have room for any of them.

Benny - Mighty Jack Russell

My son has a great dog. His name is Benny. He is cute as a button and as active as a whirli gig in a storm. Thought I would try to capture him in oils.

Another clock

My son is a 2nd LT in the Army and stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY. Thought he could use another clock in his apt. Keeps him on time. It also uses up an old cigar box.

Summertime

Thought this would make you think summertime. Bikini top thrown over a sea grape branch.
