the Creative Thursday blog

morning greeters

New cups and ornaments in the shop! and for the first time ~ I've been wanting to try this forever ~ decal embellished ceramics. Finally! this allows me to create and repeat a design on ceramics. The faces in this series are called the "morning greeters". Perfect for gift giving, I think! It's almost that time...which reminds me. Thursday December 4th is the annual holiday shop update at 11 am PST.  See you then, and probably before :-)

'Thriving Artist' cups back for a limited time

Due to multiple requests to bring these back after seeing the photo of them in the book, and the fact that I still love this design, I'm taking special orders for you to have one! now through June 8. In fact I think I will be making myself one too.

We also created some pretty summer bundles for you in the shop.

hope you are enjoying your long holiday weekend!

some new {little yellow} ceramic vases

clay art

It's been a long time since I've worked on any ceramic pieces, and these tiles I actually formed, carved, painted and glazed. Oooh the things I could create with a kiln in my garage...

I will never be bored in this life, that is for sure.

Since there are only 9 of these created ever, it's taken me a little while to be ready to part with them ~ but I think it's time for them to go to their new homes, so right now you can find them over at the shop.

the last two vases

Love inspired.

I don't know if/when I will get the chance to work on ceramics again, so these two are the last vases that I just listed over at the shop. Oh the bunny has a little dress on! 

Shop Update Tomorrow @ 9 am PST

 

"I am a Thriving Artist" cups are here! The first designs in this new line, as well as some new cup styles.

Loving them immensely but willing to part with them tomorrow morning so they can go home to you before we leave for Paris. 

And....new vases, perfect to celebrate the arrival of springtime.

See you tomorrow morning over at the shop.

 

tea for two

 Did you happen to see the little "jackalope baby" tea cup in the holiday shop update? Honestly ~ one of my favorite creations this season. And today I reluctantly released the second in this set,  "the little prince" tea cup, another favorite.

They're both in the shop as I publish this. If they aren't snatched up soon...tea for two at my house it is.

  

tomorrow @ 9:30 am PST

 

Meet me here at the shop for the holiday shop update. Months in the making....over 30 handmade, one of a kind creations ~ see you then!

by the way

I announced the addition of these two mugs to to the shop to my twitter followers on Friday. To say I'm having a bit of an identity crisis, with all this social media, is an understatement to say the least. Still trying to figure out what to announce where. In an effort to be informative and not too redundant, in case you only follow me here....just wanted you to know that I added these two mugs to the shop ;) {And yes, the vase in the last post was a brand new creation and sold...however, more to come!}

I'm temporarily saving the rest of my creative expression for painting {officially counting down 5 weeks until my show!} & other projects in the works, so my blog posts will remain on the short side. But believe me when I say I'm working on some podcasts for you in my mind, because all this creating, especially during these times, and my own personal experiences over this past month, is cause for extra thought and reflecting. 

thank you

I don't know what I'd do without my customers. Thank you so, so, SO very much!
