I’m so embarrassed! I have been lagging on my blog this year and my only excuse is that this time of year, I tend to hibernate (a natural state I think for artists). You get so exhausted after the holiday season that in January all you want to do is clean your filthy studio, clean… READ MORE
In a previous post, you may recall that I was a woodworker. Now I lay vinyl flooring!! Not well mind you. I don’t think anyone would hire me professionally as evidenced by the left hand side of the flooring slowly inching away from the wall, but it serves its purpose. Future note to self. Do… READ MORE
When you make the decision to love clay as a profession, you dayream that all you do all day is play in mud.

I have been using the same collage of my images for years and today realized I don’t even make some of those pieces anymore. So, in all of my embarrassment, I created two new collages. This one turned out to be my favorite.
Woo hoo! I got my first International order from Etsy and the first lesson I learned is that I didn’t charge enough for shipping – D’oh! But the most exciting bit is that it is my little cup named Charlie and he is moving to Australia — ie the motherland for me. I feel so… READ MORE
