Hi
Been busting to show you these two cats I made for my Mums Birthday, but obviously I had to keep them a surprise.  They lived on my mantel for a week and she very nearly didnt get them after all…..

They are supposed to be like the Staffordshire dogs and cats for Mantels and firesides (right hand click view image to see them bigger)

The black one is just a tiny bit bigger than the brown one though, but I think they came out quite nicely in the end.

and now for the ones for sale in the future, not sure if they will be online or just in the gallery that has my prints

These are quite small, only about 4 inches high

I think this one is my favourite

another present one goes in for firing this week and another sale girl will get dipped and hopefully her potential owners will like her when she is done.

Hi
Here are the foodie ceramics that I brought home from class the other day, a theme seems to be developing…

and of course that theme is macarons!*L*  These are for a set of glass domes I bought that turned out to be the wrong size!  Finally something to go in them.


and this is Paul, the Bandit Chef, holding a tiny little rose macaron, whilst standing in front of a whopping great big rose macaron that now holds our ipod and any other stray bits in the lounge room

well, its either a whopping great macaron, or a pink hamburger anyway

better start making some stuff to get ready for next terms class!

Hello
Got back some more ceramic pieces from class today, Ive been rather looking forward to these two especially.
The first is a lady in a hat lolly bowl

Ive always wanted a sort of fancy lolly bowl, permanently full of sweeties, like the one my Nana had

Now I just have to wait to fill her up with chocolates from Pauls course in a week or so

and this fellow

He is a bit tricky to photograph right now as I havent attached him to a wall yet, but wanted to show him anyway


Just what the house needs really, a bit more ceramic taxidermy : )
thanks for looking

Hello
Just got my little Geisha ceramic back today, I think those stripes are making her my new favourite

and I put a new Geisha print in the store “Candy Apple”.  Ive gone green mad by the way, if its green, I seem to love it.

Hi
Here are the latest batch of ceramic girls home at last
the pierrot that had an eye accident and ended up with a patch

The black eyed girl and her bird and key

and lastly the first of the Girl Hero’s to go 3D.  There were a few hairy moments, but I got there in the end and here she is standing up!

another one is due back next week, only two weeks of class to go though, so Im panicking to get more done
thanks for looking

I have always loved the look of taxidermy but at the same time it seems a bit iffy, so I made myself a bunny head for the wall in ceramics instead

He was quite a tricky sculpt to do in the end, but Im fairly happy with him, I put two little holes under his chin to tie a ribbon into a bow for him and I think that might be what I like best about him

I made him to go on the wall underneath the beautiful paper dolls that Amy from Wool and Water made for Paul’s and my anniversary, he seems to work nicely with it somehow

Three more ceramic girls are being fired and glazed this week and I just made a little geisha with a dolly this afternoon, Im very keen to get much more done this term!
