A couple of pieces i made recently...
a new wall brooch and small painting..
close-up of wall brooch
This wall brooch was made using an old piece of crochet work sent to me by Marianne - its sewn onto the clay and i love this idea of using 'pieces of of the past' (especially crocheted doilies) and the difference in textures...
and more green love - a fantastic new collaborative blog made up of 11 talented girls dealing with oh so worthy green issues - sew green...
A series of five 'jewels' have gone into my shop ... :)
thank you for your encouragement on the subject of pods...:)
have a wonderful week, i wonder what it has in store... xxx
poor shelly was home all week with a tummy virus..not so nice but we spent some time together in the studio playing with clay...i made a new pod and shelly created some small shapes which she will paint and turn into fridge magnets...today she went back to nursery...
i seem to have a lot of creative energy this last week and actually feel like locking myself in the studio for a couple of days...some peace and quiet, alone...oh well..ive been creating tiles..a lot of them cracking in the oven...part of the process...
jewels lined up...(before varnishing)
our weekend starts this evening...hope yours is a good one. xxx
...not as yummy as kellys honey cake or as sweet as lisas beautiful cupcakes or as tasty as amishas banana bread or as golden as stephs cornmeal biscuits ... but they are waiting to go into the oven...
some more wall jewellery tiles drying in the sun
i was playing around with some clay and came up with this pod-form - this is after about 24 hours when it has dried out significantly - i LOVE carving the dry clay...for me its definitely the best part of the process...
and here she is sun bathing...
so very theraputic...
happy week to you :)

I love hanging pieces of art and crafts on the wall..the idea of dressing-up ones home...creating a unique space which represents ones personality...small jewels of drama and decoration..maybe theatre...
... this is how i came up with the idea of wall jewellery...
i have several ideas for pieces and love using this domestic oven fired clay...im enjoying the idea of texture and detail...and colour and the imperfect handmade look...
a line is in the making for my shop...
