Sweet Little Birds

I pulled new stuff out of the kiln this morning.  I tried out some new glazes which I found underwhelming...  I am going to try out some more today. 

I did get two sets of bird beads that I am pleased with.

And these new lentil beads I made are fantastic! I love them so very much! All of these yummy new beads are available in my shop right now!

Handmade Buttons

Here are some lovely porcelain buttons I made.  I keep making them.  I wish someone would give them a good home because they are purty!

So if you know anyone who loves funky chunky handmade button please direct them to my store and help give these little fella's a home :P

Favorites

These turned out so pretty.  I had set them aside for myself, but then I realized I was hording my treasure again.  I decide to put them up in my shop. I can always make more right??

I really like how this double sided large bead came out. Especially with that green glaze on it.  I will put this set up in my store tomorrow!

These were also hard to part with but now the too reside in my Etsy shop.

Treasury Crazy

So I have been making treasuries.  It took me awhile to figure out how to do it.  I like Artfires collection maker slightly more than the Etsy treasury maker.  But they look better on Etsy... Maybe it is because people take better photo's of their work on Etsy?
Anyhow I still have not figured out how to get a picture of it on my blog.

Here is a link to a couple I made.  Intergalactic Plantary. is based on me watching back to back seasons of BattleStar Galactica on the netflix.

Math Class Is a number based Treasury that I did because I saw some really great art based on numbers and wanted to pay tribute.

Buried is one I did with peoples items that were on the last pages of the Etsy search engine.

The picture is of a little house I made with a heart living inside.  I am loving it and will make some more.

Here is a new one I made tonight Spring is in the Air.. part of the I love treasury team challenge.

Hippie Beads ... Man

I love how these babies turned out!  I am gonna try and make more. Lets hope the glaze fairies are kind.  These beads definitely tug on my heart strings, I wish I would have had them back in my Grateful Dead days.......

Peace man! Yeah I know I am a dork! These are dual sided with peace signs on one side and hearts on the other.
 Both sets and more are in my Etsy shop! Come on by and check out all my beads and baubles.

Fatty Birds and Skinny Birds

Terrible pictures sorry! The dark bird is actually a dark blue and made from stoneware clay as is the white and black fatty bird.  The skinny birds are porcelain and glazed in a lovely light blue transparent gloss.

Beautiful Porcelain Beads

I was messing with lowfire clay, raku and stoneware clay for so long I forgot how beautiful and amazing working with porcelain clay can be.

 This past week I was able to get a couple of glaze firings in and while it literally takes all day to fire the results are stunning. I have posted some bead sets in my shop... reluctantly, I might add.  I really really wanted to keep them!

My neck is out so I am going to put up some pictures and then go lay down.
