So the title of this piece is Homeless Comb why you may ask? What it's not obvious? Well, i guess i'll have to tell you then. Well back in the day when my dearest friend Sara go up to the Art building with me on Sundays we would carpool together. So one day as i was getting into her super clean car (it was exceptaional clean this particual day - i felt really specail like we were then suppose to be going on a date or something ;) anyway i set my ceramics stuff down and look in the floor board...

These are two bowls hand thrown on the wheel and then altered. I love these two bowls. I think the picture looks almost like the shape was about to be a heart. They remind me of how when you love someone you like to get wrapped up in their arms. Their names are Now and Later. I have signed and named them both on the bottom. They are in my little Spot the Pot Shop now too.

I used White Stoneware fired to Cone 10 the colors are an outstanding Orange to Golden Brown, Grey with speckles, Deep Bla...

I dedicate this photo to John, for it was an idea from him that my first sake set was born. This set is named Opalescent which is the name of a CD by Jon Hopkins (lovely ambiance music if you dig that genre) The names of the shot glasses are Halcyon, Grace, Apparition, Afterlife, and Elegiac which are all names of songs off of that particular CD. For my sets i like to sometimes name them after groupings (not sure if i said that grammatically correct) ~gift

Also my dear friend Kim inspired me ...

So i decided i needed a break from the vases, don't worry tho i'm sure there will be more in the future. Muhahahaha

This is me and it was one heck of hot sunny day, i decided to have some water out of my mug named Kitty's Delight and well i'm all finished the water by the time this photo is taken (after about the 10th time i got up to reset the camera b/c i couldn't find my remote for the shutter)

I came inside and wasn't tooo crazy about the SUNNY COLOR - it was just sooooooo bright, however...

This mini vase is a darling burgendy color with a spot of pale pink on the side. The clay is JB Stoneware fired to cone 6 and this one measures up to be 2 1/4" Wide at the bottom 1" Wide at the top and 2 3/4" Tall. ~7

This little gal is holding a blue balloon flower. I really dig on how the top of this one came out and is probably one of my favorite vases i made.

This is listed also in a little store i started up called Spot The Pot - cheers and have a GREAT DAY!

So i had to revive this flower before my dear Splat (name of the vase) had its photo shoot. As i was deciding where to take pictures of this mini vase i had the flower sitting in a cup of water - just floating along (which then gave me another brilliant idea for a future picture) but back to this one. Soon the flower was all perky again and the image capturing took place.

The colors are a pale pink that changes to an off white with speckles at the bottom a bit of pale yellow also peeks out fr...

Ok - Like i said these next few days will be pictures of my mini vases! oooo are they not just the cutest? ~7

I finally DID it - i posted this to a little store Spot the Pot Store Geez talk about alot of work... My site is not perfect yet, i'm trying really hard tho.

This one named In The Paper it is a pale pink at the top and a pretty blue hiding a bit of darker blue & brown at the very bottom. The clay is the lovely JB Stoneware and this one only measures up to be 1 3/4" Wide at the bottom ...

This will be the first of many pictures of my mini vases that i have made. I figured i better take cute little pictures of them now, while there a flowers in bloom to show off in them. Although the August heat is beating the heck out of all the darling little flowers around here.

This vase is titled Any Other Name because i though in its abstract sorta top - it resembles a rose and that made me think of the sweet lines of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

This is a very small cute vase only sta...

Here's a set of tumblers - they have no official names inscribed in the bottom as most of my work does.

They are filled with another of those frosty drinks i made earlier - YUM!

This is my sweet little blue and white african violet sitting quietly in a cute little flower pot of which i made. The flower pots name is Dormouse there are actually a set of 3. They all have african violets in them, however the other two have not bloomed yet - even tho their leaves are pretty and green. ~gift

I did not know how much humidity they liked so the other two were just sitting in regular pots & they didn't flower. So after a year, i finally looked up on the net how to solve the pr...

Heres the inside of the lid - i was very pleased how the spider came out in this Raku firing. Yeah!

Today is looking up, i have just had Christmas, which is what i refer to getting a lot of pieces out of the kiln. Because i wrap them all in newspaper and then i take them and show them to family and friends and when we do this we unwrap them all, and its like Christmas.

I had a hard time deciding which to post first the inside so you could see the spider or the outside so you could see how cool the crackle glaze looks from the Raku firing looks. Also i was thinking that it could be a bit more fun to see what the whole box looks like.

So as i said earlier this is a little box - i really couldn't decided how to take a photo for this one, to show it off. So i placed it on a one of my many indian silk fabric skirts and let it get ready for its photo shoot. The b...

This will be sorta a before and after shot of this particular item, which would most likely be used as a little jewlery box. I call them spring boxes b/c i make the texture on top with a spring - of which in this view you don't see. What you are seeing is the inside top of the box and i'm sanding around a spider that i placed inside. Thats why my thumb is all fuzzzzzzy b/c i'm moving.

This piece which is named My First Apartment is called this b/c in my first apartment, i had so many spiders....

Well this just goes along with how i feel anyway - yes that was a very Eeyore statement, but we all go through rough times. Now would be one of mine.

As some of you may know i was working on a pin-home camera that i made out of clay. There are a series of pictures of I See You - as it was going thru the firing process. As you may have remembered i saved my wheel-thrown pin-hole camera from its first disaster, however when taking it outside to sand the bottom it slipped from my hands & this ti...

So as i was looking thru my fellow photo friends pictures, i came across a tasty looking drink, soon after leaving the comment i darted into the kitchen and decided to make my own. i had a package of carmel mix in the cabinet (sorta like a hot chocolate mix) anyway i prepared it using the cold directions and added some ice stuck it in the blender then found my tumbler named Fantastic, poured it on in. Then i grabbed the can of whip topping and loaded it up, along with a couple sprinkles of ci...

Ahhh - Finally - that was alot of work. So this is a finished greenwear pin-hole camera. In case you forgot greenwear is only just what i consider the 1/2 way point.

I thought a final picture was needed to show you what it looks like with the top put on showing off its new button stopper/shutter.

I will be soooooo excited once i get to glaze this and fix up the metal piece that i will insert as my pin-hole. Eeeeeeeh - thats my excited noise.
