A Plate FULL of Flowers : )




















This plate isn't finished yet...obviously, because it hasn't color...
I'm caught in a cr8tive dilema...
I can glaze the ENTIRE plate in one color that's transparent like I used on the "Cool Coil Pot" OR I can paint each flower like I did on the "COLORFULL MUG"
I'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ANY & ALL SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!
Thanks for looking !!!!
Please take care and God bless!!
Luv, hugz, & blessings, tia :  )

A COLORFULL FlowerFULL Mug of Clay : )

Yes, this COLORFULL mug took FOREVER to paint!!!!
Hard to believe that this started as a slab of flattened clay with random flower stamp variations I created using my acrylic flower petal/centers sets from my scrapbooking supplies...
I think Gregory thought it would NEVER reach completion : )
Actually, it's NOT completely done, yet...PLEASE don't tell Gregory!!! : )
I still need to glaze it...
Could I do this the easy way like everyone else????
HECK NO!!!!
So, I'm going to coat ALL the painted areas with a type of wax and then dip the mug into WHITE OR BLACK  glaze so that the colors will REALLY POP!!!! : )
This will take even MORE time...and since I ONLY work on this is when JackJack is working on his homework at the kitchen table, well, let's just say, it'll be awhile : )

"He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not"
Thanks for looking!!!!
Please take care and God bless!!!

Newest Clay Cr8tions...such as they are....

Greetings and Salutations!!!!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been dealing with some pretty intense medical issues : (
As the TITLE implies I've been working on a few clay projects and haven't finished ANY of them yet....
That's the frustrationg part of EDS that I ABSOLUTELY HATE!!!!!!! I never know from one day to the next and many days one hour to the next what part of my body is going to "act up" OR decide it wants attention through EXCRUTIATING pain... yes, this is a mini-pity party...over and done with...sorry!!!
Anywho....
Here's some pics of my works in progress...don't expect much : )












This is a method of clay pot making that has been used for THOUSANDS of years : ) You start with a coil pot, much like the ones we made in Grade School...smooth them out and then do what you will...The leaves are a top that lifts off so that you could put candy or Autumnal Treasures within it's fruit-like formation : )
MANY of these leaves came from ACTUAL pumpkin leaves from our very own Pumpkin Patch in our back yard : )  I made a mold of the real leaves so that myself and others in the future could use them LLLLOOONNNGGG after they real leaves are gone : )
My wonderful teacher, MIKKI hudgins, @ MANASSAS CLAY (Old Town Manassas), calmly helped me cr8 this interesting pumpkin : ) She has the patience of a SAINT : )
Please take care and God bless!!!
Luv, hugz, & blessings,  tia : )
