Another butter dish in green

I'm behind

I'm behind in posting pics.

These salad scoops were an experiment & an exercise in stilting. Most of them worked, but a few got fused to the stilts. Oops. At least now I know which stilts work for this, and how to position the scoops on the stilts. (I made some blue ones also.)

Leaf platter

Square platter

tray

another tray

Half round condiment/candy/dip dishes

I thought it might be fun to start shooting pots with props, so...

Pie dish complete with pie. I made the pie a couple years ago (it's clay) to use as a prop, and for whatever reason I'm only getting around to using it now. I think it's fun. :o)

Olive boats. These olives might be slightly misleading... they are giant as far as olives go.

Giant lobster on a tray...

I just finished setting up shop on Etsy. Just earrings for now, but as I get some smaller things finished I plan to get some other stuff up there too.

YAY!

Pass it on!

Jack's turn

Are you bacon?

Nope, not bacon.

They're multiplying...

Are you bacon?

They're staring at me. Not sure what to think about this...

SOOOOOOO-EEEEEEEEEE!

This little piggie went to the market, this little piggie stayed home... These three are waiting for something to happen.

3 of the 14. All of them came out perfectly. (WOOHOO!!!!) I have photos of each individually, but the pink came out really saturated so I have a bit of touching up to do on them. I'll post more pics as I get them done.

eta: Ok, I couldn't resist doing a couple.

Guarding the front...

Someone is not as entertained by this as I am. The photo is a little blurry because someone was heaving heavy sighs and I couldn't stop laughing.

:sigh: This is so not dignified Mom...

Spring Lawn Sale

(I know it isn't Saturday quite yet, but by the time anyone reads this it probably will be.)

Come out and see me! I have yarn bowls and pie dishes (full and individual size) and trays and earrings and Pigs and other stuff. Check the Swan Creek Potters' web site for location details.

5 down, 9 to go

Got the first 5 pigs glazed tonight with a pretty matt pale pink glaze, and black features. I know the colors look rather dull in the photo, but once fired the colors will be a lot richer. I'm hoping to get the other 9 glazed tomorrow so I can fire them Wednesday.


ps. the weird shadows inside the pigs are because there are 5 lights over head shining through the money slots.

Now available in the Sauder Village Gift Shop

I dropped off a dozen pairs of earrings to the Gift Shop this morning. Some ceramic bead ones (sorry, these are in packaging)

And some knit silver wire with glass beads
