Spent a bit of time this morning sorting washing and some long overdue cleaning!! Caught the bus into town at lunchtime, sent off a package and did some shopping with refreshment breaks! After that I made my way to the studio so that I could see my finished pieces of the last week or so. I am really pleased with the peacock, it is staying in the studio for a while as an example piece as they have three more and no one has attempted one apart from me!


The bowl is certainly different!
Really pleased with the trinket box, I think some people will be getting these for Christmas this year!

Sandy kindly said that she would bring me home when the studio closed, so that was kind. Had a cuppa with Tina when I got home and then we had a drive down to look at the sea. Lovely sunset while we were out and I managed to get quite a nice picture when I got home.
Watching Comic Relief now, I bought a tee shirt today and am wearing it as I watch.

  1. So much for taking it easy and relaxing!
    The pottery is all good. The peacock looks so different now it's been fired. I hope by displaying it it will encourage someone else to do one. You should get commission if it does! The bowl is very bright and abstract. Would definitely help wake you up if you used it for your morning cereal! The little box is brilliant. The lid has come out great. It's such a good technique to use, and adaptable. Good idea to make more as presents, I think they'd really be appreciated. Not sure why, but it just came to me that it would look good if you did the inside of a silhouette with it. Like the heads in profile you usually see in black, but use that technique instead. Just a thought.

  2. That is an interesting suggestion, might think about trying it on a coaster. It would be good if they get someone else to paint a peacock, but they are pretty expensive and quite daunting if you haven't done much ceramic painting.

  4. Using the paint scraps was a success, think we will start running out of scrapings if it catches on!! xxx
