sunflower takeover

2011-07-22T13:43:00.001-05:00

We probably could have planted less sunflowers in our garden, but the kids got a hold of the birdseed this spring and were tossing it around with such gleeful abandon, who in their right mind would stop them?

garlic harvest

2011-07-14T22:14:00.005-05:00

This was our first year growing garlic. We tucked cloves in the ground late last fall with hope and a prayer, and were finally able to reap our harvest, 8 months later. We are hooked! A very satisfying experience.

The spinach and radishes are struggling to grow in this cold. The pea trellises are ready and waiting for their climbing vines.

Etsy Treasury Name Game

Hey! I won! Etsy shop owner 88editions was having a contest on their blog, where you had to create an Etsy treasury based on another person's shop name. Last week, the person in the spotlight was loveartworks.

Loveartworks chose mine for the winner, so my shop gets the spotlight this week! Any Etsy seller is welcomed to enter. You can see the rules here along with a little silly made up story regarding my shop name. :) http://88editions.wordpress.com/

Etsy is adding a lot of new features, including the Activity Feed which shows new items from your favorite sellers, and the new favorites of your chosen taste makers that you have added to your circle. There is also a new feature on the Home Page that suggest items you may like. These are some of the items I have discovered with these fun new tools.

Tomatoes!

2010-04-11T18:40:00.004-05:00

It was such a beautiful Spring day today and I can just feel the warm summer days soon to come and imagine the taste of the tomatoes right out of our garden. This necklace by Eleanor Jane Jewelry on Etsy sums up my summer daydreams perfectly. It looks good enough to eat! Yum!

Sprouts! on Sale!

2010-04-10T15:30:00.002-05:00

This box is a continuation of a series I did back in 2001. The little container is topped with bright green forms resembling sprouts coming out of the earth. The main body of the box is left unglazed except for Robin's egg blue polka dots. The inside is glazed in various shades of blue and green.

Use it to hold you hopes and dreams and tiny treasurers.

Handmade Pottery Sale!

Wabi-Sabi Wasabi - Handmade Spoon Rest

2010-04-06T19:24:00.001-05:00

In making this series of spoon rests, salt cellars, and soap dishes, I wanted to move away from my usual style of thinly made, and refined pieces. I wanted to exaggerate the raw nature of the clay and have that feeling remain in the finished pieces.

This spoon rest is rustic and earthy and really shows the malleable qualities of the clay in its unfired form. It is made of thick clay glazed in a wasabi colored glaze and with recycled melted glass pools in Caribbean blue.

First the clay was thickly rolled out and curved into a rough bowl form, then impressed with a primitive stamp in the middle which was filled with melted glass when fired. The result is bright and earthy and really appealing to me.

See more miniature curiosities here.
