Garden Markers will be displayed in 4 glaze colors and 12 herb selections. In addition, we have a “green thumb” growing small herb pots to go along with some of the markers.

Clay Bead Bracelet on Knotted Hemp

Red is difficult to fire on ceramics. We captured the raised rope pattern on this handmade clay bead and the red turned out very vibrant!

See it for sale at our Etsy store.

Clay with Vintage Glass

This is indeed, one of a kind! One of our handmade clay dishes with a delicate lace imprint — glazed and adhered onto a vintage candle holder piece. This one is featured for sale on our Etsy store.

Bentley

This is our 7-month-old yellow lab, Bentley. Don’t let the calm appearance fool you.

Small Clay Dish with Glass Fused to Bottom

We are going to try this with some of our clay dishes! I love the idea of melting glass at the bottom of the clay dish. More fusing in our future… I feel it!

New Addiction

During the winter months (particularly after the busy holidays…) art-minded people seek inspiration. I have found a new source for inspiration! Visit www.pinterest.com

I have signed up to be accepted (and I am not 100% sure I know yet what that means), but for now, I am still able to browse different categories of the site and I cannot believe the variety of ideas from all sorts of people! From food to craft projects to decorating at home — just go there and click on the picture a couple of times — you will likely end up on someone’s blog explaining how it’s done. I have not yet been “accepted” but I’m having a blast looking at all the cool stuff.

Go! I promise you won’t be disappointed!!
